    Airframe geometry for the Boeing 787-8: four door pairs, forward and mid-cabin galley/lavatory complexes, wheelchair-accessible lavatory and carry-cot positions, and the World Traveller Plus 2-3-2 and World Traveller 3-3-3 seating cross-sections.

    This is the only Scene7 raster that resolves for the 787-8 and it PREDATES the Club Suite retrofit — it shows the superseded Club World business product (2-3-2), so it is used only for airframe/monument geometry, not the current business layout or the per-cabin counts. BA labels its maps representative; per-tail layouts may vary. The Club-Suite-era slug boeing-787-8-full-plane-seat-map returns 'Unable to find image'.

How this map was built

AUDIT 2026-09-30: Current official Club Suite diagram is available at asset787-8-full-seatmap-with-club-suite. Numbered seats/cabin assignments corrected:31J/37W/136Y. Business1–4AEFK,5A,6EF,7–9AEFK; W10–14ABDEFJK,15AB; Y20DEF,21–24ABCDEFHJK,25ABC,30–38ABCDEFHJK,39BCDEFHJ,40–41DEF. Previous count-derived seat grid and claim that no Club Suite diagram existed are superseded; their history is preserved in the immutable baseline. Original count-derived furniture/wing retained as unresolved historical geometry, with monuments marked derived; anchors may not reliably track corrected labels. All re-enumerated seats have neutral ratings; no adjacency advantages inferred. Seat dimensions/screens remain unsourced baseline estimates. Current diagram cannot establish completed fleet retrofit, exact operating fleet count, or a retirement date; historical dated fleet values are not reverified. Actual flight layout may differ from this representative map. AUDIT 2026-09-30: Current brand inventory reviewed. Full configuration verification remains partial; historical/derived values retain their original dates and uncertainty. See docs/audit-europe-2026-09-30/BA.json for exact field scope and gaps.

What changed

  2. Sep 30, 2026European primary-source inventory audit; correct_numbered_seat_geometry_preserve_uncertain_monuments; complete verification remains partial.
  3. Jul 14, 2026Initial British Airways 787-8 Club Suite config (31J/37W/136Y = 204).
