However, and this is where head scratching begins, the economy seat map for the same flight shows rows 20-33 and 34 to 49. In other words it is an exact match of the existing two class 789. All reports we have received about this business class seat arrangement have been pre-flight queries. We have yet to receive any bum in seat feedback corroborating any new config. It might be a GDS glitch
Oman Air's
website shows two 787-9 configurations, Version 1, a Three Class aircraft, of which there are two in the fleet, and Version 2, a Two Class aircraft, of which there are five in the fleet.
In Version 1, First class has 8 seats in rows 1 and 2, and Business class consists of 24 seats in two cabins, rows 10 and 11 in the front cabin, and rows 12 and 14 in the back cabin.
Version 2 has 30 Business Class seats in two cabins, rows 10, 11, 12 and 14 in the front cabin and row 15 in the back cabin.
