285 seats: 30 good, 31 mixed, 6 to avoid
Best seats
- Rows 2–7, seats A and L (Flagship Business): set back from the aisle, so it is more private

Seats to avoid

Oman Air Boeing 787-9 (Version 1, 2-class, 288 seats)
288 seats: 7 good, 26 mixed, 20 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 10, seat A (Business): front row of Business at the window, away from the mid-cabin toilet.
- Row 11, seat K (Business): business window seat in the middle of the main cabin.
- Row 15, seat A (Business): business in a small one-row cabin of its own behind the doors, likely quieter.
- Row 20, seat A (Economy): first Economy row, marked with extra legroom.
Seats to avoid
- Row 14, seats D and G (Business): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
- Row 33, seats A, B, C, E, F, H, J and K (Economy): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
- Row 33, seat D (Economy): backs onto the mid-cabin toilets, so recline is likely limited and there's a toilet queue right behind you.
- Row 47, seat A (Economy): in front of the rear toilets, so recline is likely limited.
