    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 E92 (total 239): 28 Business (JAL SKY SUITE III, 1-2-1 staggered lie-flat, rows 1-7), 21 Premium Economy (JAL SKY PREMIUM, 2-3-2, rows 17-19), 190 Economy (JAL SKY WIDER, 2-4-2 / 8-abreast, rows 23-59). Read from the official JAL 787-9 config page and the E92 seat-map graphic. BUSINESS 1-2-1 columns A|D,G|K = 7x4=28 (published_map). PREMIUM ECONOMY 2-3-2 columns A,C|D,E,G|H,K = 3x7=21 (published_map). ECONOMY 2-4-2 columns A,C|D,E,F,G|H,K: front block rows 23-31 full 2-4-2 (9x8=72) plus row 32 = H,K only beside the Door 3 mid-cabin lavatory complex (2); rear block 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); economy total 72+2+4+112=190, reconciled to JAL's published 190. The exact seat-by-seat split of the two Door-3 monument partial rows (31-32) is derived to reconcile to the published Economy total, hence layoutProvenance=mixed. Published seat markers honoured: exit rows before rows 1/17/45 and after 59; no-window 45AK & 56AK; fixed-armrest (tray-in-armrest) Economy seats 23 AC/DE/FG/HK, 45 AC/HK, 46 DE/FG. DERIVATIONS/UNPUBLISHED: JAL does not publish Economy/Premium Economy pitch/width or non-Business screen sizes on the accessible pages, so those dimensions are unsourced estimates;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 (a top-down schematic cannot prove window-to-seat alignment) except the explicitly published no-window seats (none).
