British Airways Boeing 787-9 (787-9 with Club World, 219 seats)
219 seats: 11 good, 43 mixed, 18 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 2, seats A and K (First): set back from the aisle, so it is more private
- Row 30, seats A, B, C, D, E, F, H, J and K (World Traveller): exit row on BA's map with open floor in front of the door: lots of legroom, though people pass through to the door and lavatories.
Seats to avoid
- Rows 6–7 and 10–13, seat E (Club World): middle seat of the centre three with no aisle of its own: you step past D or F to get out.
- Row 7, seats D and F (Club World): next to a galley, with light and noise during service
- Row 21, seats A, B, D, E, F, J and K (World Traveller Plus): last row of World Traveller Plus, with lavatories drawn right behind it: expect queues and galley noise.
- Row 44, seats D, E and F (World Traveller): last row of World Traveller, with galleys drawn right behind it: expect queues and galley noise.
Gulf Air Boeing 787-9 (282 seats)

Seats to avoid
- Row 5, seat G (Falcon Gold): next to a galley, with light and noise during service
- Row 34, seat A (Economy): in front of the mid-cabin toilets, so recline is likely limited.

- Row 34, seat D (Economy): backs onto the mid-cabin galley, so recline is likely limited.
