How this map was built

Korean Air Boeing 787-9, 269-seat configuration (24 Prestige Suite / 245 Economy), built from Korean Air’s official English seat-map diagram (fl-787-269-seatmap-pc.png) plus the accommodation text and dimensions in the page’s AEM seat-map model (9-269/seat-map.model.json) and the Prestige Class page. PRESTIGE: fully lie-flat "Prestige Suite" (Apex) in a staggered 2-2-2 layout (columns A,B / D,E / H,J), numbered rows 1, 7, 8, 9 on the published map = 24; 190 cm (75 in) pitch, 53 cm (21 in) width, 180° recline, 17-inch monitor; 9J is a pet (PETC) seat. cabin.layout "2-2-2" with geometryHint "staggered" (the seats within each bay are longitudinally staggered). ECONOMY: 3-3-3 (columns A,B,C / D,E,F / G,H,J), rows 28–56. Row 28 = centre D,E,F only (bulkhead behind the Door-2 galley/lavatories, bassinet, 28E wheelchair-accessible); rows 29–32 are the preferred/front block (row-29 side seats are bulkhead extra-legroom, rows 30–32 the 26 paid "preferred" seats, with wheelchair-accessible seats at 29E/29F/31E/31F); row 43 = A,B,C + G,H,J with the centre replaced by the mid-cabin lavatories; row 44 = A,B,H,J exit row behind Door 3 (centre galley) with extra legroom (44B/44H carry the map’s legroom marker); row 45 = bulkhead behind the mid galley (bassinet); rows 33–42 and 46–55 are full 3-3-3; row 56 = B–H (A/J absent) tapering to the rear galleys/lavatories. 41J, 55A and 55J are pet (PETC) seats. DERIVATIONS / RECONCILIATION (layoutProvenance "mixed", AUTHORING §5b): the published seat-map schematic depicts roughly three more Economy seat positions than Korean Air’s own accommodation count of 245 (the page carries the disclaimer "the configuration and location of in-flight facilities may differ from the actual aircraft"); the explicit count of 245 Economy (269 total) is authoritative and wins, so the extreme rear centre positions (a schematic row 57) are reconciled out and the grid is trimmed to exactly 245. The 26-preferred / 2-extra-legroom / 5-accessible seat counts stated in the model are reproduced; the "2 extra legroom" figure counts the isolated exit-row seats (44B/44H) while the row-29 bulkhead seats are additionally rated good for their genuine bulkhead legroom. Economy recline and Economy monitor size are not published (omitted); window alignment is left "unknown" for window seats because a top-down schematic cannot prove real-window alignment.
