    New World Business Class seats with a sliding door for greater comfort and privacy were introduced on the Boeing 777 fleet (2023); all World Business Class passengers have direct aisle access.

    The release describes the newer 777 product and states JAMCO Venture seats were previously installed on the 787 fleet. Its 198 cm bed, door, massage and charging innovations are not independently bound to this retained 787-9 configuration. It does not certify current 787 door absence or movable divider; no replacement features are inferred.

    The archived September 30, 2026 787-9 family specification publishes maximum 294 passengers, average Economy/Economy Comfort/Premium pitches 79/89/97 cm, 1-2-1 Business and six toilets. The maximum conflicts with this retained275-seat derived layout; interactive numbered labels and exact cabin allocations are absent, so no replacement grid or numeric installed dimensions are inferred.

How this map was built

Four-tier KLM long-haul stack on the Boeing 787-9, the shorter sister of the 787-10: World Business Class (JAMCO Venture, 1-2-1 reverse-herringbone, all-aisle-access), Premium Comfort (2-3-2), Economy Comfort (extra-legroom zone within Economy) and Economy (3-3-3, 9-abreast). BUSINESS PRODUCT: KLM's 2023 release states that JAMCO Venture seats were previously installed on the 787 fleet, but the newer 777 door, bed and charging details are not transferred to this configuration. Current 787 door absence, movable divider, exact orientation and screen sizes remain unverified. LAYOUT DERIVED_FROM_COUNTS: the archived current family page provides specifications but omits interactive numbered labels. The retained row grid remains a reconstruction from the historical neutral counts and product context, not a primary numbered map. COUNTS (Wikipedia KLM fleet table, 787-9 row, as of June 2026): 13 airframes, J=30 World Business / W=21 Premium Comfort / Y+=48 Economy Comfort / Y=176 Economy = 275. The assignment's ~24 Economy Comfort / ~219 Economy (~294) hint is SUPERSEDED by this table: 48 Economy Comfort + 176 Economy = 224 in the single Economy cabin, total 275. MODELLING: business rows 1-8 in 1-2-1 (30 = 7 full rows of 4 + a final centre pair D/G at row 8, since 30 does not divide evenly into 1-2-1 rows and the cabin narrows toward the rear galley). Premium Comfort is 2-3-2, 3 full rows of 7 = 21 (rows 11-13; rows 9-10 skipped for the galley/vestibule per common KLM numbering). Economy Comfort is modelled as a ZONE within the single Economy cabin per AUTHORING §6 (seatTypeId economy-comfort, canonicalTier extra_legroom_economy, contributing the 48N token) — NOT a separate cabin: rows 15-19 full 9-abreast (45) plus a 3-seat centre triple at row 20 (D/E/F) = 48. Standard Economy is rows 21-40 (176): row 21 a bulkhead exit row at door 3 (extra legroom), rows 22-38 full 9-abreast (153), a galley-approach row 39 (9), and a 5-seat last row 40 that narrows to a port triple (A/B/C) plus a starboard aisle+window pair (G/J) ahead of the aft galley/lavatories. DERIVATIONS / UNPUBLISHED: retained door positions, wing span, skipped row numbers, partial-row narrowing, monument areas, per-seat warnings, storage/tray/bassinet restrictions and ratings are unverified historical modelling assumptions. Every retained furniture anchor is marked derived and no lavatory area represents a verified fixture count. The current family page lists six toilets and average pitches of 79/89/97 cm, but its 294 maximum conflicts with this retained 275-seat scaffold; those figures do not certify exact locations, product generation or installed pitch here. Retained numeric seat measurements and screen sizes remain estimates. windowAlignment is left 'unknown' for window seats because the grid is derived and a real window cannot be proven to line up (no 787 window grid exists, so windowGridType is omitted). AUDIT 2026-09-30: Current official specifications do not independently verify this derived row/letter scaffold. Complete configuration verification remains unresolved: dimensions, per-seat claims, furniture, exits, window alignment and operator-specific retrofit state require configuration-specific primary evidence. SOURCE CONTRADICTION: Official maximum 294 contradicts baseline Premium Comfort 275; exact cabin counts and numbered map required.

What changed

  1. Oct 1, 2026Qualify primary-source product, measurement and historical-map scope; correct nonexistent E190 corroboration and make retained787 schematic furniture explicitly derived, without changing seat positions or capacity.
  2. Sep 30, 2026Partial European audit: archived current official specifications, documented unresolved numbered geometry and source contradictions; preserved stable ID and baseline layout.
  3. Jul 14, 2026Initial KLM 787-9 four-cabin instance (275 seats: 30J/21W/48N/176Y) built from the Wikipedia KLM fleet table (counts) and KLM newsroom releases (products); row grid derived from published counts. 787 World Business modelled without the sliding door (that is the 777 product).
