Current official numbered diagram independently reviewed on 2026-10-05: exact seat IDs, cabin counts, partial rows, skipped numbers, exits and labelled lavatories. Historical ID and URL preserved. Every seat evaluated against its own cabin baseline. Normal Economy window/middle/aisle position, exit-seat colour and cabin-wide product amenities alone do not improve or penalize the rating. The current 787-9 page explicitly names72A/K as no-window. This diagram contains 9 distinct labelled lavatory objects, including two ordinary central Door 3 objects and one accessible Door 2 object. No unlisted recline restriction or galley function is inferred. The native rectangular seat depictions do not establish 777-style reverse-herringbone hardware. Immediate native lavatory boundaries receive cautious Be Aware judgments; noise and queueing are possible editorial implications, not measurements. No proximity is inferred across unknown blocks or uncalibrated gaps. Unlabelled service blocks remain other with function unknown; no galley function or recline loss inferred from them. No positive window alignment or engineering belt is asserted. Bulkhead takeoff baggage rules are not treated as verified permanent storage loss. Missing hardware, exact per-seat dimensions and most window alignment remain unresolved. Type-level fleet quantity does not establish tail/configuration allocation.
