Qantas operates 14 Boeing 787-9 (with four more ordered in 2023 for delivery from 2027), all in a single 42 Business / 28 Premium Economy / 166 Economy = 236 configuration.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qantas_fleet ↗
Qantas's sole Boeing 787-9 cabin: 42 Business / 28 Premium Economy / 166 Economy = 236, flown across the whole VH-ZNA..VH-ZNN subfleet (14 aircraft; four more on order for delivery from 2027). Transcribed ROW-BY-ROW from a 300-dpi render of the official Qantas 787-9 International seat-map PDF (b789.pdf); dimensions, screen sizes and engines come from Qantas's official 787-9 onboard page. BUSINESS (Thompson-style staggered 1-2-1, columns A | E,F | K): row 1 has only the two window suites 1A/1K (the centre position is a fixed divider with a bassinet mount) behind the forward galley; rows 2-8 and 10-12 are full 1-2-1 (Door 2 splits the cabin between rows 8 and 10) = 2 + 7x4 + 3x4 = 42. PREMIUM ECONOMY 2-3-2 (A,B | D,E,F | J,K) rows 20-23 = 28; row 20 is the bulkhead with a centre bassinet. ECONOMY 3-3-3 (A,B,C | D,E,F | H,J,K): rows 40-44 (45), the Door 3 exit row 46 (9), rows 47-58 (108), and the tapered last row 59 which keeps only 59A/59B and 59J/59K (4) as the aft galley occupies the centre and the aisle seats are removed = 45 + 9 + 108 + 4 = 166. EXTRA LEGROOM (canonicalTier extra_legroom_economy, the N tier): the map marks 40D/40E/40F 'Extra Legroom - Front' (3) and the Door 3 exit-row outboard seats 46A/B/C and 46H/J/K 'Extra Legroom - Exit Row' (6) = 9 N; all other Economy seats are standard Y (157). The map's 'Forward (1) Front' and 'Forward Zone 1/2/3' colours are Qantas seat-selection PRICING zones (captured as cabin.zones feeTier preferred), not physically different seats, so those seats stay Y and are rated standard. Row 46 centre D/E/F are NOT extra-legroom: they are a bulkhead behind the Door 3 galley/lavatories (rated be_aware, bassinet at 46E). windowAlignment is left 'unknown' for all window seats — a top-down schematic does not prove a real window lines up (no 787 window grid used). Bassinet positions per the map: PE row 20 centre, Economy row 40 (seats B/J) and row 46 (seat E). Wi-Fi is not listed on Qantas's official 787 page (in-seat power + seatback IFE only) and Qantas had not fitted Wi-Fi to its international 787-9 fleet as of retrieval. The over-wing row range is an approximation.
