787-10
Boeing
We've documented 5 airlines flying the 787-10 across 5 cabin configurations, built by Boeing as part of the 787 family. Total seat count ranges from 294 to 344 depending on how densely an airline configures it. Its fuselage is 5490mm wide — the fixed physical constraint every airline's cabin layout has to work within, regardless of how they configure the inside.
Economy pitch on this type ranges from 31in to 33in depending on the airline — a real, measurable difference in legroom for the exact same aircraft.

Frequently asked
- Which airlines fly the 787-10?
- We've documented 5 airlines operating the 787-10, each with its own generated seat map below — the cabin you get depends entirely on which airline and which specific configuration they fly.

- I flew this aircraft and the layout looked different — what do I do?
- Tell us. Airlines retrofit cabins constantly and different registrations of the same type can carry different cabins. Email corrections@bestplaneseats.com with the airline, flight number, date and what you actually saw.
