  • Bassinet rows: 17
  • 4 extra-legroom seats
  • 4 window seats with a missing or misaligned window

    Retrieved from the Wayback Machine as the original JAL image (id_ raw capture). Read visually; the low-resolution schematic prevents pixel-exact transcription of every seat around the mid-cabin monument and (for E71) the staggered Business suites — those are reconciled to JAL's published cabin totals (see config.notes).

How this map was built

JAL Boeing 787-9 international config E91 (total 203): 52 Business (JAL SKY SUITE III, 1-2-1 staggered lie-flat, rows 1-13), 35 Premium Economy (JAL SKY PREMIUM, 2-3-2, rows 17-21), 116 Economy (JAL SKY WIDER, 2-4-2 / 8-abreast, rows 45-59). Read from the official JAL 787-9 config page and the E91 seat-map graphic. BUSINESS 1-2-1 columns A|D,G|K = 13x4=52. PREMIUM ECONOMY 2-3-2 = 5x7=35. ECONOMY 2-4-2 columns A,C|D,E,F,G|H,K: row 45 = exit row A,C,H,K only (4, no centre block; A/K no window) plus rows 46-59 full 2-4-2 (14x8=112) = 116; this reconciles exactly to JAL's published counts (layoutProvenance=published_map). Published seat markers honoured: exit rows before rows 1/8/45 and after 59; no-window 45AK & 56AK; fixed-armrest (tray-in-armrest) Economy seats 45 AC/HK, 46 DE/FG. This is the premium-heavy 787-9 (largest Business cabin). DERIVATIONS/UNPUBLISHED: JAL does not publish Economy/Premium Economy pitch/width or non-Business screen sizes on the accessible pages, so those dimensions are unsourced estimates; only SKY SUITE III Business dimensions (width 51 cm, bed 198 cm, screen 17 in) are JAL-published. windowAlignment left "unknown" for real window seats except the published no-window seats.
