AZAL Azerbaijan Airlines Boeing 787 Seat MapsAZAL Azerbaijan Airlines

Business class is an airline class above economy and premium economy classes with upgraded amenities, service, and seating. While business class is a significant upgrade over said economy, or the slightly cushier premium economy, it is still a step below the top-of-the-line first class on 787-8 when available.

A seat in premium economy on 787-8 — directly between the main and business class cabins is measurably more expensive than an economy class ticket and often sells at double the price.

In economy class: Exit rows, aisle or window seats, and anywhere close to the front are typically considered the best seats on board. On a short business trip, you might want an aisle seat near the front of the plane so you can disembark as quickly as possible upon arrival.
