About this cabin
Oman Air's 787-9 in this configuration seats 288 (J/J/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. Oman Air 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 | 1A | 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 | 6A | 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 | 25B | Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does. |
| Nervous flyers | 25B | Over the wing, close to the aircraft's structural centre of gravity — the smoothest ride on board when it's bumpy. |
| Trying to sleep | 6A | A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you. |

Seats to avoid
| Seat | Cabin | Why to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| 2B | Business Studio | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 2C | Business Studio | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 2A | Business Studio | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 2D | Business Studio | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 8B | Business Class (Apex Suite) | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |

| 8D | Business Class (Apex Suite) | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 8E | Business Class (Apex Suite) | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 24A | 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. |
| 24J | 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. |
| 38C | 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 (24 seats: 24A, 24B, 24C, and 21 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 (18 seats: 1A, 1B, 2A, and 15 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.
- Narrower than usual (24 seats: 5A, 5B, 5C, and 21 more) — This section is narrower than other sections of the same cabin class on this aircraft, so the seat itself will feel tighter than you might expect.
- High foot traffic (26 seats: 2B, 2C, 8B, and 23 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 (32 seats: 1A, 1B, 5A, and 29 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.
- Wing blocks the view (12 seats: 23A, 23J, 24A, and 9 more) — The wing sits directly outside this window, blocking most of the view — but you also get one of the smoothest, quietest rides on the aircraft.
Frequently asked
- How many seats does Oman Air's 787-9 have in this configuration?
- 288 seats in total, arranged as J/J/J/Y/Y. This is one specific configuration — Oman Air's fleet may include other configurations of the same aircraft type, covered below.
- Is this the only cabin layout Oman Air flies on the 787-9?
- Yes, as far as we can determine — Oman Air 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 2B in Business Studio is worth avoiding: A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. 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.
