3A & K: These are the official C-W-S recommended seats. They have a little extra room, and direct aisle access, as well as good window views. 6A & J: These are recommended, as they are the longest, and offer the greatest legroom, as well as being ideally positioned for getting off the aircraft.
The Dreamliner has a cabin width of exactly 18 feet (5.5 metres), which just happens to be 15 inches (38 centimetres) narrower than the B-777. If you install seating in a 2-4-2 eight abreast layout, then your economy class passengers are even better off than on a B777 in nine abreast.
Best seats in the Premium cabin are definitely Row 1 A/C or G/J where you will have loads of extra legroom and no difficulty getting in and out of your window seat. (just flown recently myself in Row 1 )There is no restricted view from seats in premium cabin except Row 7 A/C which does not have a window.
•Because the 787 is pressurized at about 6,000 feet rather than 8,000 feet, you'll breathe easier. More oxygen in your lungs means better sleep, less chance of headache, no difficulty breathing (flying at altitude is like sleeping at a ski resort).
It really depends on what value you and your travelling companions put on the perks the upgrade offers. The only difference in the premium cabin on shorthaul is the number of seats.

The defect is a small, paper-thin gap in the attachment, Boeing said. Such gaps are typically plugged using a filler known as a shim. The shims in the attachment were incorrectly sized so that the gap exceeded the five-thousandths of an inch allowable in the specification.
The Dreamliner's lightweight composite structure contributes to reduced noise levels, both inside and outside the aircraft. The use of advanced soundproofing materials and quieter engines keeps the cabin environment more tranquil for passengers.
The seats are so cramped in economy that the legroom of a similar seat on a 777 or a 747 feels like a business-class seat. Intelligent engineering allows for seat-backs to recline but to compensate, the seat bottom lunges forward — thereby only providing an illusion of a recline.
The 787 Dreamliner is proven to help kick jetlag into touch. It's all down to the rejigged cabin pressure and high-tech mood lighting that mimics dawn and dusk. Factor in taller ceilings and less noise, and you're in for a much comfier flight.

I believe it's worth it. We've been both economy and premium. Benefits I think are - shorter check-in lines, first on and off the plane so less queuing at customs, better toilet to passenger percentage, more comfortable, access to lounges and more luggage allowance.
