How this map was built

Air France Boeing 787-9, the single passenger configuration across all 10 airframes (Wikipedia Air France fleet table, July 2026): F —, 30 Business (J), 21 Premium (W), 228 Economy (Y) = 279. The retained cabin-product descriptions are historical models. The archived primary sources do not establish the Business hardware generation, manufacturer/model, reverse-herringbone arrangement or privacy-door status for this current 279-seat variant; Premium and Economy product binding also remains unresolved. The Air France press release “Air France welcomes its first Boeing 787” states the three cabins (Business 30 / new Premium Economy 21 / Economy) and the “Full Flat / Full Access” business seat with an almost-2 m bed; that release quoted 225 Economy at launch, whereas the current Wikipedia fleet table shows 228 (a later minor densification) — the 228/279 current figure is used here. ROW GRID IS DERIVED, not a published map: The official Air France 787-9 cabin-layout widget was fetched as a text extract on 2026-09-30 and lists 279 seats with a reference-only layout disclaimer. Its interactive numbered diagram was not captured, so exact geometry remains unresolved; competitor seat-map sites are excluded. Row numbers, cabin boundaries, galley/lavatory/door placement, the wing band, the mid-cabin over-wing exit row, the extra-legroom (N) rows and the forward Preferred zone are structural inferences from the published cabin counts and standard 787-9 geometry (Business 1-2-1, Premium 2-3-2, Economy 3-3-3). DERIVATIONS: Business rows 1-8 (rows 1-7 full 4-abreast = 28; row 8 a derived partial centre pair to reach 30). Premium rows 11-13 (3×7 = 21). Economy rows 20-45: the published 228-seat Economy total is split into 18 derived extra-legroom (N) seats — the bulkhead row 20 behind the galley (9) and the mid-cabin over-wing exit row 34 (9) — plus 210 standard Economy (Y); rows 21-24 are modelled as the forward Preferred (paid location) zone; row 45 is a derived partial 3-seat tail-taper row (centre triple) to reconcile the count against integer 9-abreast rows. The 18 N split is itself derived: Air France sells paid extra-legroom Economy seats but does not publish how many. Seat pitch/width/recline are not published by Air France on any fetchable source and are marked approximate/unsourced. AUDIT 2026-09-30: Current official specifications do not independently verify this derived row/letter scaffold. Complete configuration verification remains unresolved: dimensions, per-seat claims, furniture, exits, window alignment and operator-specific retrofit state require configuration-specific primary evidence.
