In economy class, Etihad’s newest 787 will feature 271 seats, which are lighter in weight than the current fleet and more fuel efficient. The seats boast exceptional comfort and an increased feeling of space created by the smart design and adjustments including a slimmer profile armrest.
 

Etihad's 787 economy passengers can also enjoy an extensive range of entertainment on the 13.3” 4K touch-screen monitor, which also includes a USB charging port.
