The layout accommodates 300 passengers across four classes, including six First Class suites and 54 Business Class seats.
The configuration highlights the airline’s premium-focused approach to its next-generation long-haul fleet, with 96 seats dedicated to First Class, Business Class and Premium Economy.

Singapore Airlines’ Boeing 777-9 Seat Map
Singapore Airlines will configure its Boeing 777-9 aircraft with 300 seats distributed across four cabin classes. The arrangement includes six First Class suites, 54 Business Class seats, 36 Premium Economy seats and 204 Economy Class seats.
First Class will occupy the front section with six private suites arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration. Four suites will sit beside the windows, while two additional suites will form a centre pair designed for passengers travelling together.
Behind First Class, the Business Class cabin will accommodate 54 passengers in a 1-2-1 layout. Each seat will provide direct aisle access, with the new product featuring sliding privacy doors and fully flat beds.
Premium Economy will have 36 seats arranged in a 2-4-2 configuration. The largest cabin will be Economy Class, with 204 seats arranged in a 3-4-3 layout across most rows. The configuration changes to 2-4-2 in the final three rows of the aircraft.
Together, the three premium cabins account for 96 seats, representing 32% of the aircraft’s total capacity. This gives Singapore Airlines a substantial premium offering while retaining more than 200 Economy Class seats for the wider passenger market.
New Premium Cabins Aboard Boeing 777-9
The Boeing 777-9 will introduce Singapore Airlines’ latest First Class and Business Class products, alongside redesigned Premium Economy and Economy cabins.
The six First Class suites will offer 89.5 inches of seat pitch and 23 inches of width, expanding to 30 inches when the armrests are lowered.
Each suite will also feature an 80-inch fully flat bed and a 32-inch 4K entertainment screen. The central suites can be combined to create a larger shared sleeping space for passengers travelling together.
Business Class passengers will receive seats measuring 24 inches wide and offering 50 inches of pitch. The fully flat beds will extend to 79 inches, while privacy doors and adjustable centre dividers will provide greater flexibility.
The Premium Economy cabin will feature 19-inch-wide seats with 40 inches of pitch and up to nine inches of recline. Economy Class will offer seats measuring 17.6 inches wide, with 31 to 32 inches of pitch and entertainment screens measuring up to 13 inches.
Comparison with Singapore’s 777-300ER
The new Boeing 777-9 configuration represents a capacity increase compared with Singapore Airlines’ existing four-class Boeing 777-300ER layout.
The airline currently configures its 777-300ER aircraft with 264 seats, comprising four First Class suites, 48 Business Class seats, 28 Premium Economy seats and 184 Economy Class seats.
The 777-9 will therefore accommodate 36 additional passengers, an increase of approximately 14%. All four cabin classes will receive more seats, with Economy Class accounting for the largest increase of 20 seats.
Singapore Airlines has ordered 31 Boeing 777-9 aircraft, although the programme has faced repeated delays as Boeing continues working towards certification of the 777X family.
The airline’s new cabin products are scheduled to enter service progressively from the second half of 2027, initially across its new 777-9 fleet and 41 retrofitted Airbus A350-900 aircraft, Simple Flying flagged.
The published seat map provides the clearest indication yet of Singapore Airlines’ planned 777-9 passenger configuration. However, the aircraft’s entry into commercial service will depend on Boeing’s certification and delivery progress.
