On the long haul leg of the flight, you will be flying with Hainan Business Class Boeing 787. Hainan’s 787 fleet includes a 1-2-1 setup in reverse herringbone or staggered pattern.
Opt for one that has the table adjacent to the aisle for more privacy. Seats closer to the aisle, which exist in each alternating row, are easily disturbed by people moving past. Those in the center section with the table closer to the aisle will find that the seats are very close to each other limiting personal privacy if not travelling with your seatmate. For that reason, reverse herringbone on most of the 787-9 aircraft remains the best layout of all the aircraft.
The ticket includes priority check-in, airport lounge access, business class meals, two pieces of checked in luggage, amenity kit, and wines, champagne and other beverages.
Even though you can probably save a few bucks by booking with some of the budget websites, we recommend booking directly with airline’s website to ensure better customer service post sales. Deals so good wouldn’t last. So, act fast!
