About this cabin
Qatar Airways' 787-9 in this configuration seats 311 (J/J/Y/Y/Y/Y/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. Qatar Airways 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 | 3E | 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. |
Seat map
Business Class Suite
Business Class Suite spans rows 1–8 in a 1-1 layout, 42in pitch and 22in seat width.
Economy Class
Economy Class spans rows 10–12 and 14–43 in a 3-seat layout, 31in pitch and 17in seat width. Worth avoiding: 43D, 43F, 43E, 27C — seat doesn't recline.
The fuselage tapers here, so row 42 has no window seats: Qatar Airways draws 42B and 42C on one side and 42H and 42J on the other.
Row 43 is the last row and Qatar Airways draws it as 43D, 43E and 43F alone, the centre block only. Its drawing does not label what stands outboard of the row.

Seats to avoid
| Seat | Cabin | Why to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| 43D | Economy Class | 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. |
| 43F | Economy Class | 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. |
| 43E | Economy Class | 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. |
| 27C | Economy Class | 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 (12 seats: 27A, 27B, 27C, and 9 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, 1K, 2A, 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 (22 seats: 2E, 2F, 10D, and 19 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 (12 seats: 1A, 1K, 10D, and 9 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.
