    The Boeing 787 carries three cabins — Business (30 seats), a new Premium Economy (21 seats) and Economy (225 at launch) — with the “Full Flat / Full Access” Business seat (a bed almost 2 m long, direct aisle access) and HD on-demand seatback entertainment.

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. This 787-9 carries Air France’s OLDER long-haul cabins, not the 2023 “new standard” fitted to the A350/777: the Business seat is the 2014-generation full-flat, reverse-herringbone seat with direct aisle access from every seat (a bed almost 2 m long) but NO privacy door; Premium is the fixed-shell recliner in 2-3-2; Economy is 3-3-3. 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: Air France publishes no seat map on a fetchable primary/neutral source (wwws.airfrance pages time out for every client; corporate.airfrance.com is Cloudflare-gated and citable only from search snippets) and competitor seat-map sites are prohibited. 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.
