The Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner offers several economy seat configurations, but passenger preference varies based on comfort, seat width, and access.
Preferred Economy Configurations
- The 3-3-3 layout is standard on most 787-10s, offering a balance of capacity and comfort, though it includes more middle seats (33% of total) compared to older widebodies.
- The 2-4-2 configuration, used by United Airlines on select routes, is often preferred for its wider seat pitch and better legroom, though it limits aisle access for window/aisle seats.đź”—
- Some carriers, like Delta, are expected to adopt the 2-4-2 layout on future 787-10s to improve economy comfort, though this is not yet confirmed for all routes.đź”—
Key Considerations
- Passengers generally prefer configurations that minimize middle seats and maximize legroom and seat width.
- The 2-4-2 layout is considered more spacious and comfortable, especially for long-haul flights, despite reduced aisle access for window and aisle seats.
In summary, while the 3-3-3 layout remains common, the 2-4-2 configuration is increasingly seen as the most preferred for economy passengers due to improved comfort and seat spacing.The Alviator +1

NEW ROUTES 2026 #3: Korean Air’s new Prestige Suites for Sydney
Korean Air has introduced the Prestige Suites 2.0 in Business Class for flights out of Sydney on its 787-10 Dreamliners from November 2025. I’m doing a series of posts on new routes in and out of Australia. Some are actually new routes, and some are new in the sense of having new aircraft, updated interiors, or other innovations. Looks like there will be nine posts in the series. I’ve already covered, and you can read about Turkish Airlines’ soon-to-be nonstop flights between Australia and Europe and Cathay Pacific’s revived route between Adelaide and Hong Kong. Korean Air, a

My Favourite Aircraft To Fly: Here Are The Airplanes I Get Excited About
I love flying, and one of my hobbies outside of my freelance work is to find new airplanes and new cabin products that I can try out. Over the years, I’ve developed a love for some specific aircraft more than others. I’ve got preferences in terms of the experience (particularly when I’m flying in premium economy, the cabin that I cover the most), and here are the planes that best cater to those preferences. I’d also love to hear what yours are. I haven’t flown every major commercial aircraft out there – notable exclusions are the 757 and 767.

Air Canada Reveals Stunning New Cabins — What Its COO Told Me About The Design Choices And Fleet Plans
Air Canada has just unveiled the new cabins for its Boeing 787-10 and Airbus A321XLR aircraft that will be coming into the fleet, and its new “Glowing Hearted” design language. I spoke to the airline’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Mark Nasr, to learn more about the products and the airline’s plans to carry those through the rest of its fleet. We’ve seen a lot of new product refreshes – within the last year American Airlines debuted their new Boeing 787-9 business class and their Airbus A321XLR. United Airlines introduced their new 787-9 Polaris cabin. Delta just

United Airlines Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner Premium Economy Class Review OGG-ORD
I recently flew in United Premium Plus (premium economy) on the United Airlines Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner OGG-ORD flight from Maui to Chicago. This United Airlines premium economy review will talk about seats, food, amenities and so on. I had booked this flight (along with connecting flights from Honolulu to Maui and from Chicago on to Cincinnati) for only 25,000 United Airlines miles, which I thought was a screaming deal. Our short flight from Honolulu to Maui was a bit delayed, so by the time we made our way to the Gate (Gate 1, the furthest one, of course), we

Japan Airlines Premium Economy: A350-1000 vs 777/787
Japan Airlines currently has two different Premium Economy products in the air. You’ll find one type on the Boeing 777-300ER and Boeing 787-9s, and another type on the airline’s newest Airbus A350-1000s. I previously went over the differences between Economy class seats on the new A350s and the older 777s in this post. Similarly, the Premium Economy seats definitely have their own differences. The new A350 seats have some improvements, while there are also a couple of shortcomings, in my opinion. Let’s go over the different products and see the changes. Below are the current configurations

Delta Adds Boeing 787 Dreamliner to Widebody Fleet
One of the worst kept secrets in aviation is finally out, Delta is ordering the Boeing 787 Dreamliner as part of its widebody fleet refresh. Delta Air Lines has just placed an order for 30 Boeing 787 aircraft with options for 30 more. The Atlanta based carrier is purchasing the 787-10, the largest of the 787 variants, to replace some of its aging Boeing 767 fleet. According to the airline, it won’t begin taking delivery of these aircraft until 2031 at the earliest. The 787 will be a new fleet type for Delta and the order marks a
