Official Boeing 787-9 Layout 1 seat map: First, Business and Economy seat identifiers row by row; front/rear Economy zones; bulkheads, bassinets, toilets and doors. Enumerating the published seats yields 8 First / 28 Business / 190 Economy = 226.
Retrieved through Wayback raw snapshot 2025-09-08 because the live Etihad PDF timed out. The PDF has no numeric capacity table; totals are exact enumerations of the seats drawn. The schematic does not prove window alignment or numeric seat dimensions.

Etihad current fleet page publishes this as Boeing 787-9 v1 / Layout 1. Transcribed row by row from the official PDF. FIRST: rows 1-2 are 1-2-1 (A,D,G,K), 2x4 = 8. BUSINESS uses the airline's mixed published seat-letter pattern: rows 5/8/10 are C,D,G,H (3x4=12) and rows 6/7/9/11 are A,E,F,K (4x4=16), grouped as one 28-seat sold cabin through cabinGroupId. ECONOMY: front rows 15-21 are 7x9=63; rear row 23 has D/E/G (3), rows 24-36 are 13x9=117, and tapered row 37 has B/C/D/E/G/H/J (7), giving 127 rear and 190 total. The dark seats with a black cap are explicitly keyed as Bulkhead, distinct from the separate Extra legroom and Standard legend entries; they remain canonical Economy and carry a qualified bulkhead note rather than being promoted to a separately sold tier. windowAlignment stays unknown for window positions because the top-down schematic does not prove window-to-seat alignment. Numeric seat dimensions, wing range and per-tail assignment are not published in the cited map. Editorial precautions reflect drawn bulkheads and immediate monument proximity, not measured clearance or an airline rating. Rendering geometry is unspecified; native diagrams establish seat letters and schematic shapes but not a named hardware or exact-facing guarantee. October 4 methodology re-review supersedes prior immediate adjacency claims across entry vestibules or intervening monuments; historical source observations/changelog remain preserved. Only direct native service-bank relationships retain service-area quality cautions. Bulkhead and extra-legroom evidence is assessed separately. Standard is a within-cabin baseline, not certification that unknown drawbacks are absent; per-seat recline exceptions and engineering window alignment remain unverified. Native First 1A/K restroom icons are directly ahead of the suites. Unlike the later side-chevron exit markers, no forward exit marker is shown in the retained V1 diagram; forward door location is unknown and is not drawn. The V1 native drawing assigns no Extra legroom symbol to any seat; the legend alone does not support a Good promotion. October 4 methodology correction: categorical storage and accessible-restroom claims without precise primary evidence are superseded. Bulkhead-only positions are Standard with specific effects unknown; bassinet, lavatory and galley cautions remain only where individually sourced. The native V1 drawing shows no chef/galley icons; missing galleys are not invented. First 2D/G have integral bassinet positions, preserved as furniture/function. This does not independently prove neighboring infant noise, and no comfort effect or eligibility guarantee is asserted. First-row bulkhead symbols do not establish storage, armrest, recline or clearance restrictions; those details remain unknown.
What changed
- Oct 4, 2026Removed unsupported forward exit-door marker: the retained V1 primary diagram shows no forward side chevrons. The two ordinary restrooms remain directly ahead of First row 1; no door or vestibule is invented. All seat assessments and later explicit side-chevron markers are preserved.
- Oct 4, 2026Resolved actual reviewer consistency findings: native partial-row37B/Jare outboard with unknown window alignment; integral First-suite bassinet functions remain furniture without an unsupported automatic noise flag.
- Oct 4, 2026Superseded unsupported crew-seat identity for unlabelled native figure symbols; their function remains unknown.
- Oct 4, 2026Applied actual Claude review findings after independent native review: corrected service-bank evidence and removed unsupported categorical claims where applicable. Historical claims are superseded; the native seat grid is preserved.
- Oct 4, 2026Superseded7A/K and23D/E/G lavatory proximity across the source-drawn entries; other retained assessments remain limited by source evidence.
- Oct 3, 2026Resolved actual Claude EY-R1/R2 findings against native archived diagrams: corrected supported letters, monument types and nearest-seat anchors; removed unsupported aisle/view and named-geometry claims; consistent immediate-monument precautions. Current-byte equality remains unverified.
- Oct 3, 2026Resolved actual Claude EY02/EY03 supported findings: removed unsupported aisle-access promises; narrowed product and service claims; harmonised bulkhead precautions and verified immediate monument annotations against each native archived diagram.
- Oct 3, 2026Rechecked the existing numbered row grid against the native Etihad PDF snapshot and current fleet link; no seat additions or removals.
- Jul 14, 2026Initial Etihad Airways 787-9 8F28J190Y configuration, transcribed row by row from the official Layout 1 PDF.
