What we could not settle on this aircraft
EgyptAir publishes nothing about this aircraft's cabin, so everything here comes from first-hand reviews, and two things do not settle. Three separate sources agree Business has 30 seats, but 30 does not divide into whole rows of four and nobody says where the odd pair sits, so 28 are drawn and two are not. And the Economy total is reported three different ways — 297, 289 and 279 — by sources that do not agree with each other. We have drawn the one Economy account that gives actual row numbers, rows 20 to 36 and 37 to 52, which comes to 297 seats. Rows 8 to 19 are left blank because no source says what is there; if you are given a seat in that range this page will not find it.
Our best current understanding, not yet confirmed against a primary source.
About this cabin
Egyptair's 787-9 in this configuration seats 325 (J/Y/Y). This is our best current estimate for this layout, built mainly from secondary sources — treat exact seat-by-seat detail with a little more caution than usual. Egyptair flies only this one cabin layout on the 787-9 — no version lottery on this type.
Quick pick, by traveller
| If you're… | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Travelling solo | 3A | A window seat rated highly with nothing working against it — lean on the wall, control the shade, nobody climbing over you. |
| Travelling as a couple | 3B | This row's layout puts a genuine two-seat pair here — no middle seat exists in this group, so it's just the two of you. |
| Trying to sleep | 3A | A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you. |

Seats to avoid

| 1A | Business | The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. |

Known quirks on this aircraft
- Seat doesn't recline (18 seats: 51A, 51B, 51C, and 15 more) — This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight.
- Often cold or draughty (8 seats: 1A, 1D, 2A, and 5 more) — Seats next to a bulkhead or door on a long-haul widebody are usually the coldest in the cabin — bring a layer for this one.
- High foot traffic (24 seats: 1B, 1C, 2B, and 21 more) — This aisle seat sits right next to a lavatory, galley or exit, so expect a steady stream of people brushing past, especially early and late in the flight.
- No underseat storage (13 seats: 1A, 1B, 1C, and 10 more) — Bulkhead and exit-row seats have nothing in front of the seat to store a bag under, so your bag must go in the overhead bin for the whole flight.
Frequently asked
- How many seats does Egyptair's 787-9 have in this configuration?
- 325 seats in total, arranged as J/Y/Y. This is one specific configuration — Egyptair's fleet may include other configurations of the same aircraft type, covered below.
- Is this the only cabin layout Egyptair flies on the 787-9?
- Yes, as far as we can determine — Egyptair flies only this one cabin layout on the 787-9. There's no "version lottery" to worry about on this specific type for this airline.
- Which seats should I avoid?
- Seat 1B in Business is worth avoiding: The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. The full seat map marks every seat we'd steer you away from, with the specific reason for each.
- How confident are you in this seat map?
- This configuration is marked "provisional" — assembled from secondary sources and not yet confirmed against a primary one. See the sources and last-verified date lower on this page.
- Has a real person checked these individual seat scores?
- Not yet for this specific configuration. The scores above come from our rules engine, which reasons from real aircraft geometry, but they aren't marked as human-verified until someone has actually reviewed the unusual ones — see the verification section below for the current status.
