Oman Air Boeing 787-9 (Version 2, 3-class, 264 seats)

264 seats: 9 good, 30 mixed, 20 to avoid

Best seats

  • Row 1, seat A (First): first mini suite at the window in the front row.
  • Row 2, seat A (First): set back from the aisle, so it is more private
  • Row 2, seat K (First): first mini suite at the window, at the back of the small First cabin away from the front toilets.
  • Row 10, seat A (Business): business window seat at the front of the cabin.

Seats to avoid

  • Row 11, seats B, J and K (Business): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
  • Row 29, seats D and F (Economy): backs onto a toilet, cupboard or wall as Oman Air draws it, so recline is likely limited
  • Row 29, seat E (Economy): backs onto the cupboard where row 30's middle seats would be, so recline is likely limited.
  • Row 30, seats A, B, H, J and K (Economy): in front of an exit row, so recline is likely limited
