Alaska Airlines Boeing 787-9 seat map
Alaska's own seat map for the Boeing 787-9 shows 300 seats: 34 First Class, 79 Premium Class and 187 Main Cabin. First Class is rows 1 to 9, 1-2-1 suites with privacy doors, every seat on an aisle; row 1 has only the two window suites. The Main Cabin is 3-3-3 from row 14 to 48 (no rows 30 to 32). Premium Class takes rows 14 and 15 across the cabin, the side sections of rows 16 to 24 and exit row 33, so rows 16 to 24 mix Premium Class by the windows with Main Cabin seats in the middle. Doors open in front of rows 14 and 33, both exit rows. Five lavatories sit in the middle of the Main Cabin behind rows 28 and 29, and the cabin narrows at the back to pairs of seats in rows 46 and 47. Alaska's description counts 72 Premium Class seats; its specifications and the drawing give 79.

Trade-offs
- Rows 1 and 9, seats A and J · First Class
Set back from the aisle, so it is more private
- Row 2, seats C and G · First Class
Bulkhead row, so nobody reclines into you

Next to a galley, with light and noise during service
- Row 14, seats B, E and H · Main Cabin
Exit row with extra legroom
- Row 25, seats D, E and F · Main Cabin
Middle-block row standing alone where the side sections jump from row 24 to 26: a normal Main Cabin seat.
- Row 28, seat G · Main Cabin
Likely: last seat in this column, against the lavatory block behind it, so recline is probably limited (Alaska's drawing does not say)
- Row 33, seats B, C, D, E, F, G and H · Main Cabin
Exit row with extra legroom
Seats to avoid
- Row 28, seats D, E and F · Main Cabin
