Royal Jordanian publishes 312 seats for this aircraft; this map draws 311. Royal Jordanian's own page states 312 seats: 32 Crown Class and 280 Economy. Crown Class divides exactly into eight rows of four and is drawn in full. 280 economy seats do not divide into whole rows of nine, and the page's own stated row range cannot be reconciled with its own seat count under any sourced layout, so this map draws 31 full rows — 279 seats — and leaves the single remaining seat off.
What we could not settle on this aircraft
Royal Jordanian's own 787-9 page says this aircraft holds 312 seats — 32 Crown Class in rows 1 to 8 and 280 Economy in rows 11 to 44. Crown Class is drawn in full and resolves exactly. The Economy figures are Royal Jordanian's own and do not fit together: 34 rows of nine would be 306 seats, twenty-six more than the 280 it states, so the cabin must narrow somewhere towards the tail and Royal Jordanian does not draw or describe where. We draw 31 full rows, 279 seats, ending at row 41. Economy seats in rows 42 to 44 are real and this map does not show them. This is the newer Crown seat; Royal Jordanian's 787-8s still carry the older one.
Our best current understanding, not yet confirmed against a primary source.
About this cabin
Royal Jordanian's 787-9 in this configuration seats 311 (J/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. Royal Jordanian 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
| Seat | Cabin | Why to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| 40C | 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. |
| 40D | 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. |
| 40F | 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. |
| 40G | 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 (18 seats: 40A, 40B, 40C, 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 (12 seats: 1B, 1C, 2B, 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 (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 Royal Jordanian's 787-9 have in this configuration?
- 311 seats in total, arranged as J/Y. This is one specific configuration — Royal Jordanian's fleet may include other configurations of the same aircraft type, covered below.
- Is this the only cabin layout Royal Jordanian flies on the 787-9?
- Yes, as far as we can determine — Royal Jordanian 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 40C in Economy Class is worth avoiding: 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. The full seat map marks every seat we'd steer you away from, with the specific reason for each.

- 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.
