How this map was built

Kenya Airways publishes 30 Premier World / 204 Economy = 234, a 75-inch full-lie-flat Premier World product, and an Economy-only diagram. The published Economy grid uses sparse rows 11, 12, 14-23 and 25-36. Reconciled to the explicit 204-seat count, rows through 34 contain all nine installed positions and rows 35-36 contain only D/E/F (22 x 9 + 2 x 3 = 204); gray X marks elsewhere in the static selection illustration are treated as unavailable seats, not absent structure. Economy Comfort rows 11/12/14 and 34-inch pitch come from KQ's product-specific FAQ; that source's 31-inch remaining-Economy pitch controls over the generic aircraft page's conflicting 32-inch figure. The diagram omits Premier World, so its five conventional 2-2-2 rows, row numbers 1-5 and A/C-D/F-G/J columns are DERIVED from the published count and paired full-flat product; the premium cabin and its rows are marked derived. Economy category zones and the Door 3 anchor are published. Exact window alignment, other monuments, bassinets, recline exceptions, seat widths, screen sizes and hardware models are not asserted. The repository contained no 787-8 window-grid file on 2026-07-17, so aircraft.windowGridType is intentionally omitted.
