Qatar Airways' sole Boeing 787-9 cabin: 30 Business / 281 Economy = 311. Transcribed ROW-BY-ROW from the official Qatar Airways B787-9 seat-map PDF (qatarairways.com/content/dam/documents/fleet/B787-9.pdf), rendered from the Wayback snapshot 20230522171929 and still the map Qatar links from its current fleet listing (per the 2026 Wikipedia fleet table, which also states 30J/281Y=311). BUSINESS: lie-flat 1-2-1 (columns A | E,F | K); row 1 is a two-seat bulkhead row with only the window suites 1A/1K (the centre position is occupied by the forward galley/console), rows 2-8 are full 1-2-1 = 2 + 7x4 = 30. Pitch 42 in / width 22 in / fully-flat 180-degree recline per the map's technical-details table. The seat product is not named on the official map (Qatar's 787 Business is widely reported as the Collins/B-E Aerospace Super Diamond reverse-herringbone, but no primary source names it, so hardwareModel is omitted); geometryHint reverse_herringbone is a structural read of the angled 1-2-1 all-aisle-access schematic. ECONOMY: 3-3-3 (A,B,C | D,E,F | H,J,K), pitch 31-32 in / width 16.9-17.4 in / 6-degree recline per the map. The cabin is split by Door 3 (lavatory bank after row 27). Row numbering skips 13. Partial rows read directly from the map: row 10 = D,E,F only (3, bulkhead behind the Door 2 galley/lavatories); rows 11,12,14-26 full (15x9=135); row 27 full (9, backs onto Door 3 lavatories); row 28 = B,C,D,E,F,H,J (7, bulkhead facing Door 3 lavatories, window seats A/K removed); rows 29-41 full (13x9=117); row 42 = B,C,D,E,F,H,J (7, tapered, A/K removed); row 43 = D,E,F only (3, last row against the aft galley/lavatories) => 3+135+9+7+117+7+3 = 281. windowAlignment left "unknown" for all window seats and "no_window_seat" for the rest — a top-down schematic does not prove a real window lines up (no 787 window grid used). Bulkhead partial rows 10/28 are rated good for their extra legroom; the map does not mark bassinet positions, extra-legroom pricing, or in-seat power/Wi-Fi, so none are asserted. Four door pairs (1 fwd, 2 behind Business, 3 mid after row 27, 4 aft) placed at the galley/lavatory monument breaks; no economy row sits directly beside a door (all door areas are monuments), so no exit_row attributes are set.
