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.

Pro Tips

  • The 787-10 can't fly transpacific (limited range) — you'll mainly see it on transatlantic and intra-Asian routes.
  • United's 787-10 Polaris product has 44 lie-flat seats in a 1-2-1 layout. Worth checking upgrade prices 24 hours before departure.
