Best Seats on the 787-10 Dreamliner

Business class window seats (1-2-1): Direct aisle access plus the 787's oversized windows. United Polaris on the 787-10 is a top-tier transatlantic product.
Economy exit rows: Extra legroom on a long-haul aircraft is always worth checking for. Exit rows on the 787-10 offer 36–40 in.

Seats to Avoid on the 787-10 Dreamliner

Center middle seat (row E of 3-3-3): Worst position on the plane. Two seatmates on a 12-hour flight is unacceptable if it can be avoided.
