The overhead compartments are the largest in the industry. They are approximately 30% larger than the compartments on the Boeing 777 and have enough space to hold four large-size carry-on bags. |

Toilets in each class come with Washlet toilet seats which are equipped with a hot water washer designed for in-cabin use. These seats were jointly developed by Toto Ltd., Jamco Corporation and The Boeing Company.
