British Airways 787-9 Club Suite retrofit layout. Seat arrangement, cabin zones (First; the map labels the business zone 'CLUB' but the hardware drawn is the reverse-herringbone Club Suite; World Traveller Plus; World Traveller), exits, galleys, lavatories (incl. wheelchair-accessible) and carry-cot positions are READ row-by-row from British Airways' official Scene7 representative seat-map image 'boeing-787-9-full-plane-seat-map' (PRIMARY, layoutProvenance published_map). Per-cabin counts read from the map: 8 First (rows 1-2, 1-2-1); 38 Club Suite = 14 forward (rows 5-8, 1-2-1 reverse-herringbone; rows 5-7 full A/E/F/K, row 8 window suites A/K only where the centre pair is replaced by a galley) + 24 rear (rows 20-25, 1-2-1); 39 World Traveller Plus (rows 45-50, 2-3-2; rows 45-49 full seven-abreast, row 50 window pairs A/B/J/K only where the centre is the mid-cabin lavatory/galley); 130 World Traveller (rows 60-75, 3-3-3; rows 60-72 full nine-abreast = 117, row 73 tapers to seven B/C/D/E/F/H/J, rows 74-75 centre D/E/F only). Totals cross-checked against the Wikipedia British Airways fleet table (NEUTRAL): 787-9 fleet of 18, with the Club Suite configuration listed as 8/38/39/130 = 215. BA labels the map 'representative' (config.representative true) — the real per-flight layout appears in Manage My Booking and per-tail layouts may vary. Club Suite is a Collins Aerospace Super Diamond reverse-herringbone lie-flat with a privacy door and direct aisle access from every seat. BA does not publish pitch/width/bed or screen sizes on the cited sources, so all seat-type dimensions and screen sizes are unsourced estimates (unsourced:true). windowAlignment is left 'unknown' on window seats because the schematic map does not prove real window alignment. No engineering window grid exists for the 787-9 so windowGridType is omitted. Door numbering and exact furniture row-alignment are interpretations of the schematic monuments. This config is the retrofit_target replacing ba-789-legacy; the two coexist while the retrofit runs through 2026-27, and the 18-airframe fleet split between the two configs is not published on the cited sources.
