Numbered seat banks were independently read from retained official native diagrams on 2026-10-04. Current configuration listings do not certify live diagram byte identity or flight-specific aircraft allocation. Staggered row numbers do not imply aligned physical seat stations. All retained seats have been assessed against JAL published restrictions and native labelled-monument observations. Standard is the reviewed cabin baseline. Confirmed physical drawbacks cap quality at be_aware; compounding published missing-window and non-recline or non-movable-armrest restrictions warrant avoid. Potential lavatory noise is an unmeasured inference. Published fixed armrests do not certify tray placement or reduced seat width. Verified product facts use the cited configuration-bound JAL evidence. Unresolved hardware classes use the broad category standard as a hardware classification; this is separate from assessed seat quality. Exact manufacturer models and unlisted hardware details remain unverified. Cabin canonicalTier is a schema mapping. Explicit JAL no-window IDs use none/manual/high. Non-window column positions use no_window_seat as a structural classification, not engineering window verification. Other window positions remain unknown; no exact station or photographic alignment model is applied. Exit designation is in bank-specific notes and infant_restricted flags; exit_row attributes are held without verified categorical door anchors. Eligibility and temporary baggage restrictions are disclosed without granting a legroom advantage. Divider observations apply to listed seats, with a bulkhead row attribute only when the whole row is covered; usable legroom and storage remain unknown. Immediate adjacency flags cover directly adjoining bank-edge seats without an intervening entry area or monument. A published lavatory behind a multi-seat bank supports a vicinity disclosure; it does not establish immediate adjacency for every seat in that bank. Selected published nearby lavatory locations are disclosed where direct adjacency has not been confirmed; forward entry-area lavatories do not automatically receive per-seat adjacency cautions; distance, traffic and noise remain unmeasured. Historical source objects and prior changelog entries remain intact.
What changed
- Oct 4, 2026Replaced obsolete placeholder and blanket hardware assertions in current notes; historical prose is archived separately. Completed all 144 seat assessments from official restriction lists and native observations. Added explicit no-window flags. Added explicit non-recline flags. Added narrow directly adjacent monument cautions and disclosed published nearby lavatories where immediate adjacency is held. Exit designations are notes only plus infant_restricted; bank-front divider notes are seat-specific. Added configuration-bound product facts with exact primary excerpts where supported; numerical specifications remain held where variant binding is insufficient. Preserved identifiers, layout, counts and historical sources/changelog.
- Oct 4, 2026Root-review qualification: use neutral standard schema category for all unverified hardware.
- Oct 4, 2026Independent native numbered-diagram audit; corrected staggered row identifiers where needed and removed unverified display claims. Historical source URLs/changelog preserved.
- Jul 14, 2026Initial JAL 737-800 international V40 config from jal.co.jp published seat map and configuration page.
