Singapore 787-10 Seat Map & Best Seats (2026)

Singapore Airlines' Boeing 787-10 carries 337 seats in two cabins — 36 Business seats in rows 11–20 and 301 Economy seats in rows 41–75. Economy is split into a forward section (rows 41–57) and a rear section (rows 58–75) by a mid-cabin lavatory cluster. All aircraft feature the airline's regional 2018 Business Class seat, a modern forward-facing staggered design in a 1-2-1 configuration where every seat has direct aisle access.

Economy Class follows a 3-3-3 layout (Recaro CL3710) with above-average pitch and Singapore Airlines' industry-leading service standards.

This guide covers the best seats, seats to avoid, cabin quirks, and everything you need to know to choose the ideal seat on Singapore Airlines' 787-10.

Note: The 787-10 cabin layout is largely consistent across the fleet, but minor row-number variations can occur on certain frames. Seat recommendations apply to the same relative positions even if row numbers shift slightly.

1. Quick Verdict

The best seats in Business Class are 16A/K and 20A/K — fake-window orientation but with the best window alignment in the cabin. For maximum privacy, choose true-window rows 12, 15, 17 or 19 where the side console sits between you and the aisle. Couples should choose D/F middle pairs in rows 11, 14, 16, 18 or 20 (honeymoon configuration with seats close together).

In Economy, choose window seats in rows 64, 67, 70 or 73K for the best window alignment, or rows 47–55 for a quiet mid-cabin experience. Avoid rows 56–57 (mid-cabin lavatories) and rows 73–75 (rear lavatories, partial tail rows).

4. Business Class Seat Recommendations (2018 Regional Seat)

Singapore Airlines' 787-10 Business Class is a staggered forward-facing layout. There are two seat types:

True window seats (A/K) — side table on aisle side → maximum privacy
Aisle-side window seats (A/K alternate rows) — side table at window → less privacy, more aisle exposure

Business Class Table

Category	Seats	Reason
Best Overall	16A/K, 20A/K	Excellent window alignment; fake-window orientation but quiet positions
Best for Privacy	True-window rows 12, 15, 17, 19 (A/K)	Side console sits between seat and aisle for maximum privacy
Best for Couples	D/F middle pairs in rows 11, 14, 16, 18, 20	Honeymoon configuration — seats close together, table between
Best for Solos	D/F middle pairs in rows 12, 15, 17, 19	Privacy ("divorce") configuration — seats split apart with consoles outside
Best for Sleeping	Rows 15–17	Quiet mid-cabin away from forward galley
Seats to Avoid	Row 11 (A/K)	Forward galley/lavatory noise, bassinet position

5. Economy Class Seat Recommendations

Economy on the 787-10 is above average thanks to SQ's generous pitch, excellent padding, and modern recline mechanism.

Economy Cabin Table

Category	Seats	Reason
Best Window Views	64A/K, 67A/K, 70A/K, 73K	Excellent window alignment per aircraft data
Best for Quiet	Rows 47–55 (windows and aisles)	Mid-cabin, no galley or lavatory adjacency
Best Legroom (with trade-offs)	Row 58 (exit row)	Maximum stretch but tray-in-armrest narrows seat width, bassinet position at D/E/G, lav traffic from row ahead
Bulkhead Legroom (with significant trade-offs)	Row 41	Extra legroom but lavatories directly ahead — noise, queue traffic, bassinet activity. Tray-in-armrest reduces seat width. No underseat storage
Seats to Avoid	Row 56 C/D/E/G, Row 57 (all)	Mid-cabin lavatory cluster — row 57 is partial (no centre block) and 57A/K have no window (wall only)
Seats to Avoid	Rows 73–75	Rear lavatory adjacency, partial tail rows. Row 75 has only H/K
Seats to Avoid	Middle seats (B, E, J)	Least desirable on long flights
Poor Window Alignment	46A/K, 49A/K, 52A/K, 69K, 72A/K	Fuselage curvature — partial views only
