Not yet confirmed against a primary source. Treat row-level detail as indicative and check at booking.
LATAM's own seat map does not use rows 6 to 11 on this aircraft: Premium Business ends at row 5 and Economy starts fresh at row 12, which LATAM's own accessibility list names as the first Economy row. LATAM does not say why the numbers in between are left out; that reading is ours, from its own drawing.
LAN Airlines publishes 304 seats for this aircraft; this map draws 300. LATAM states 304 seats. Premium Business divides exactly into five rows of six and is drawn in full. The economy cabin's stated count does not divide into whole rows of nine, and LATAM publishes no diagram showing which row is short, so this map draws the whole rows only — 270 economy seats — and leaves the remaining four off rather than putting them in a row nothing sources.
What we could not settle on this aircraft
LATAM does not publish a seat map for this aircraft, and it gives its capacity as a range — "300 - 304" — rather than a number. The seats, letters and exit row on this page are LATAM's own; the row numbers between them are our arrangement of LATAM's facts, not LATAM's drawing, and 300 seats are drawn against the 304 LATAM states. Treat the exact row numbers as indicative and check at booking. Two things here are firm because LATAM states them outright: the emergency exit seats are A, B, C, J, K and L in row 30, and Economy is nine seats across in three blocks of three. An earlier version of this page said Economy was seven across in a 2-3-2 layout, on the strength of an aviation-press article; LATAM's own accessibility list names nine letters in a single Economy row, so that has been corrected. This page also used to show a Premium Economy cabin. It should not have: LATAM's own cabins page says Premium Economy is "located in the first rows of our single-aisle aircraft", and its 787-9 page lists the cabins on this aeroplane as "Premium Business and Economy" — two, not three.
Our best current understanding, not yet confirmed against a primary source.
Quick verdict
In Economy (emergency exit row), seat 30B is the best pick.
About this cabin
LAN Airlines' 787-9 in this configuration seats 300 (J/Y/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. LAN Airlines 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 | 30A | 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 | 2A | 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. |
| Tall passengers | 30B | Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does. |
| Trying to sleep | 2A | A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you. |

Best seats
Economy (emergency exit row)
- 30B — You are in the first row behind a wall, so there is nobody to recline into your knees and noticeably more space to stretch out.
- 30F — You are in the first row behind a wall, so there is nobody to recline into your knees and noticeably more space to stretch out.
- 30K — You are in the first row behind a wall, so there is nobody to recline into your knees and noticeably more space to stretch out.
Seats to avoid
| Seat | Cabin | Why to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| 29C | Economy | 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. |
| 29D | Economy | 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. |
| 29H | Economy | 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. |
| 29J | Economy | 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. |
Known quirks on this aircraft
- Seat doesn't recline (18 seats: 29A, 29B, 29C, 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 (12 seats: 1A, 1L, 12A, and 9 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 (12 seats: 29C, 29D, 29H, and 9 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 (33 seats: 1A, 1C, 1D, and 30 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.
