How this map was built

Exact current official B787-1 diagram independently enumerated: 28J/35W/211Y=274. Economy rows 16–24 full, 25DEF, 26–38 full, 39ACDEFGK, 40DEF. The formerly declared 221-seat diagram discrepancy was a counting error; the exact native partial rows and taper reconcile to 211Y, so the derived count-fit labels are withdrawn. Historic configuration ID/URL are preserved. Premium Economy printed letters are AC/DEF/GK in rows 10, 11, 12, 14, 15; no family-level letter convention is substituted. October 6 exact native letter correction: Premium Economy is AC / DEF / GK, replacing AC / DEG / HK; all five 7-seat rows match this printed 2–3–2 lettering. Cabin-wide benefits receive the within-cabin baseline, not Good. October 6 assessment: every bookable seat independently evaluated within its own cabin against the exact numbered native map, published product, marked bassinet/exit evidence and nearest contiguous labelled service bank. Standard is a reviewed baseline; cabin-wide pitch/flat-bed/IFE benefits and selection fees do not justify Good. No window positions, seat-specific recline restrictions, armrest/tray geometry or door temperature measurements are published: outboard alignment remains unknown, and no warnings or glyphs are inherited from another variant. Service cautions are qualified possibilities, not measured noise; no inferred cold-door/recline/armrest/storage penalties. Service cautions are not extended across gaps whose separation is unverified. Doors and nearby cross-aisle seats are depicted, but exact eligible exit-seat identities are not designated in this source. No bookability restriction is inferred from a centre block or a bassinet marker; carrier-assigned exit eligibility should be checked during reservation/check-in.

What changed

  1. Oct 6, 2026Exact native 28 Business / 35 Premium Economy / 211 Economy configuration verified. Premium Economy lettering corrected to AC/DEF/GK and derived Economy partial-row interpretations replaced by native-exact identities. Prior blanket Business/Premium Economy Good withdrawn; every bookable chair assessed within its own cabin. Bassinet markers alone do not establish a physical comfort drawback. Service warnings excluded from10DEF across Door 2 and25DEF across Door 3; source-specific same-side bank cautions apply elsewhere. Row25 unsupported exit-row designation removed. Maximum-only numeric pitch and USB-A subtype removed; generic USB/AC retained. Native furniture sides/order corrected; all outboard windows unknown.
  2. Jul 16, 2026Initial creation of Vietnam Airlines Boeing 787-9 274-seat configuration (28J/35W/211Y); documented and count-reconciled the carrier diagram’s Economy-seat conflict.
