    Official B787-9(78Z) cabin-layout page: 28 Business / 28 Premium Economy / 220 Economy = 276, with per-cabin pitch, width, recline, screen size and power for each cabin.

    Retrieved via the Wayback Machine snapshot dated 2024-06-15 (csair.com is bot-hostile to direct automated fetch). The page publishes per-cabin counts and dimensions; the seat map is a reference image only, so the row-by-row grid is derived.

    China Southern fleet table: 21 Boeing 787-9s in two configurations — 28J/28W/220Y=276 (78Z) and 28J/269Y=297 (78C), each cited to the csair.com cabin-layout pages.

How this map was built

Three-class China Southern Boeing 787-9, fleet-tracking code 78Z. PER-CABIN COUNTS AND DIMENSIONS ARE PUBLISHED/PRIMARY: China Southern's official cabin-layout page (csair.com, retrieved via the 2024-06-15 Wayback snapshot) lists 28 Business (45" pitch, 20–23" width, 180° lie-flat recline, 16" TV) / 28 Premium Economy (38"/19"/7" recline/12–13" TV) / 220 Economy (32"/16–17"/6" recline/12" TV), all with AC power + USB, total 276. The Wikipedia China Southern fleet table (neutral) corroborates 21 787-9s carrying this 28J/28W/220Y=276 config and cites the same csair.com page. NOTE: China Southern markets the Premium Economy cabin as 'Economy Class' on international routes (per the source page); it is modelled here as premium_economy by canonical tier. THE ASSIGNMENT HINT (1 config ~28J/24W/245Y) IS SUPERSEDED: the airline publishes TWO distinct 787-9 configs — this 78Z three-class 276-seater and a two-class 78C 297-seater (cz-789-297). LAYOUT DERIVED_FROM_COUNTS: the csair map is a reference image only, so the row grid, door/exit positions, over-wing band and the tapered last Economy row are structural reconstructions from the published counts + abreast layouts; every cabin carries derived:true. DERIVATIONS: Business 1-2-1 rows 1-7 (7×4=28); Premium Economy 2-3-2 rows 11-14 (4×7=28); Economy 3-3-3 rows 20-44 — bulkhead row 20, over-wing exit row 31, 24 full 9-abreast rows (216) plus a tapered last row 44 (A/C/H/K = 4) to reach 220. Doors (1 fwd, 2 at the Premium Economy bulkhead, 3 over-wing, 4 aft), galleys/lavatories and the wing band are derived. windowAlignment is left 'unknown' for window seats because the grid is derived (no 787 window grid exists, so windowGridType is omitted). China Southern operates 21 787-9s split between the 78Z and 78C configs; the per-config airframe count is not published.
