Not yet confirmed against a primary source. Treat row-level detail as indicative and check at booking.
Japan Airlines Domestic publishes 239 seats for this aircraft; this map draws 233. Japan Airlines states 239 seats for this 787-9 variant: 28 Business, 21 Premium Economy and 190 Economy. Business divides exactly into seven rows of four and Premium Economy into three rows of seven; both are drawn in full. 190 economy seats do not divide into whole rows of eight, and JAL publishes no diagram of this variant showing which row is short, so this map draws 23 full rows — 184 seats — and leaves six off.
What we could not settle on this aircraft
This Japan Airlines 787-9 holds 239 seats — 28 Business, 21 Premium Economy and 190 Economy — according to Simple Flying. Japan Airlines' own site refuses our requests outright, so none of this comes from JAL. The 190 Economy seats do not divide into rows of eight, so at least one row is short and nobody has published which. We draw the 23 full rows the figure supports, 184 seats, and leave the other six off the map. JAL flies at least three different 787-9 cabins, so the aircraft type alone tells you very little here — and unusually for a 787, its Economy is eight abreast rather than nine, which is why the seats are wider than most.
Our best current understanding, not yet confirmed against a primary source.
About this cabin
Japan Airlines Domestic's 787-9 in this configuration seats 233 (J/W/Y). This is our best current estimate for this layout, built mainly from secondary sources — treat exact seat-by-seat detail with a little more caution than usual. Japan Airlines Domestic flies only this one cabin layout on the 787-9 — no version lottery on this type.
Quick pick, by traveller
| If you're… | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Travelling solo | 2A | A window seat rated highly with nothing working against it — lean on the wall, control the shade, nobody climbing over you. |
| Travelling as a couple | 2B | This row's layout puts a genuine two-seat pair here — no middle seat exists in this group, so it's just the two of you. |
| Tall passengers | 1B | Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does. |
| Trying to sleep | 2A | A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you. |

Known quirks on this aircraft
- Seat doesn't recline (15 seats: 13A, 13B, 13C, and 12 more) — This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight.
- Often cold or draughty (4 seats: 1A, 1D, 11A, and 1 more) — Seats next to a bulkhead or door on a long-haul widebody are usually the coldest in the cabin — bring a layer for this one.
- No underseat storage (11 seats: 1A, 1B, 1C, and 8 more) — Bulkhead and exit-row seats have nothing in front of the seat to store a bag under, so your bag must go in the overhead bin for the whole flight.
