Dreamliner 787-8 / 788 Zodiac Business Seats & Reviews (master thd)
Business offers 1-2-1 herringbone with reversed back to back seating in the center pairs, and alternating front and rear facing window seats.
- Due to the modifications AA required of Zodiac for these seats, there are some peculiarities reported:
- Many seats are interlaced with others - passenger in one moves, the linked seat moves. The stable four seats are shown encircled in green below.
- Forward facing seats may have more restricted shoulder room when flat than aft facing seats.
- Middle seat dividers were balky and continually slipped into the retracted position, so they are arbitrarily fixed in the "up" or “down” position by maintenance, making it impossible to know which seats are best for privacy or couples for couples wanting to share conversation
- Rows 1 and 2 center seats have no overhead bins, which were displaced by the fuselage crown crew rest area
- Rows 6 and 7 were converted to Premium Economy by early 2019.
