The extract gives per-cabin counts, class row ranges, abreast configs, and monument positions but not an exact per-row seat grid, so the per-row seat placement (main-deck Prestige 26-seat split, the Economy centre-block gaps and aft taper) is derived to reconcile to the published counts.

    Korean Air fleet table: Boeing 747-8I, 4 passenger aircraft in service (plus 1 VIP leased to the Republic of Korea Air Force), configuration 6 First / 48 Prestige / 314 Economy = 368; five 747-8Is retired 2017–2025 with one sold to Sierra Nevada Corporation.

How this map was built

Korean Air Boeing 747-8i in its single current passenger layout (6 First / 48 Prestige / 314 Economy = 368). Four passenger 747-8is remain in service (July 2026), retirement now projected from ~2031; five earlier 747-8is were retired 2017–2025 (one sold to Sierra Nevada Corporation), so passenger 747-8i operations are confirmed ongoing. Counts, per-class pitch/width, class row ranges (First rows 1-3, main-deck Prestige rows 7-11, Economy rows 28-65, upper-deck Prestige rows 16-21) and abreast configs (First 1-1 A/J; Prestige 2-2-2 main / 2-2 upper; Economy 3-4-3) are read directly from Korean Air's official 747-8i seat-map page, as are the monument, exit, galley, lavatory, bassinet (front of rows 31/38/51 DEFG), designated pet (10J, 36A, 45K, 60J) and accessible-seat (31G, 34/36 F/G) positions. DERIVED to reconcile to the published counts (layoutProvenance "mixed", cabins marked derived): (1) main-deck Prestige 26 seats over rows 7-11 — rows 8-10 full 2-2-2, rows 7 and 11 drop the centre pair (monument/exit vestibule) → 4+6+6+6+4 = 26. (2) Upper-deck Prestige 22 seats over rows 16-21 — rows 16-20 full 2-2, row 21 = H/J only because the staircase down sits behind row 20 A/B → 22. (3) Economy 314: 3-4-3 with the centre block (DEFG) absent rows 28-30 (forward galley/lav) and 46-50 (galleys behind row 45), present rows 31-45 and 51-65; the aft cabin tapers as the fuselage narrows — rows 58-60 drop the window pair (A/K), row 61 drops to C/H sides, and rows 62-65 are a centre-only bank — summing to exactly 314. Exact within-Economy gap/taper row boundaries are derived; the source is a top-down graphical schematic. First Class is 1-1 (columns A and J) with a single aisle per the official config string. windowAlignment is "unknown" for all window seats (a top-down schematic does not prove window-to-seat alignment) and no 747 window grid is bound. Seat pitch/width are the published values converted to inches; screen sizes and Economy recline are unsourced estimates. Prestige/First product names (Prestige Suites, Kosmo Suites 2.0) are Korean Air marketing names.
