XiamenAir's official 787-8 chart publishes 4 First/18 Business/215 Economy=237 and provides the row-exact grid. Economy rows 41-63 are full 3-3-3; row 64 has B/C plus D/E/H (B becomes the left window position), and row 65 has D/E/H, reconciling exactly to 215. The current Chinese Wikipedia table lists this same F4C18Y215 split and reports the type in active service; the issuer filing confirms six parent-airline 787-8s at 2025-03-31. No exact 787-8 engineering window grid exists, so window positions remain unknown.
