Which seats are ABPs on the 787?

• A. 1L, 2L, 2R, 3L, 3LC, 3RC, 3R, 4L
• B. 1L, 2L, 3L, 4L, 4R
• C. 1L, 3L, 3R, 4L
• D. 2L, 2R, 3RC, 4R

Answer: (A)

ABPs are designated passengers who can assist the crew in an emergency, and they need to be seated where they can reach an exit quickly and move through the cabin with minimal delay. On the 787, the seats that best fit this requirement are those located near the main exit doors and along the primary aisle paths in the early part of the cabin. The set of seats includes front-left positions (like 1L), nearby left-side seats (2L) and right-side seats close to the exit areas (2R), plus the seats around row 3 where the doors are positioned (3L, 3LC, 3RC, 3R), and a nearby front-left seat (4L). This arrangement gives ABPs clear access to the exits on both sides and keeps them close to the doors without being blocked by galleys or lavatories, which helps in a rapid evacuation. Other seat groupings either place ABPs too far from an exit or in positions that would slow egress, so they’re not designated as ABP seats.
