Numbered seat grid, MCE allocation, wing rows, exit-seat and no-window labels verified against American view-only sample AA20 DFW–LHR on 2026-11-05, retrieved 2026-09-30. Equipment CSS 79H. Total/product counts and pitch/width checked against American fleet table. Temporary availability is not structural and does not affect bookability. Monument coordinates, recline/bed length, amenity details, fleet counts, individual window alignment beyond explicitly labelled blanks and retrofit dates remain unverified. Historical unsourced monuments and seat ratings removed when grid replaced. This proves the sampled variant, not every aircraft tail. Historical undated fleetCount 8 is withheld. The archived neutral fleet table labelled June 2026 lists 11 premium 787-9 aircraft in service and 19 on order; this does not establish the current per-tail roster or an exact June effective day.
