Variant identity
Kenya Airways uses this Boeing 787-8 page for 30J / 204Y. The seat counts below come from this airline-aircraft layout, not a generic aircraft template.
- 30J / 204Y
- 234 seats as drawn
- 30 Premier World, 204 Economy
Seat-map fields were independently confirmed against recorded evidence for Kenya Airways. Seat codes, cabin assignments, row structure and cabin totals passed independent source verification. Spacing and facility placement remain schematic unless the map explicitly says otherwise. The map cannot render unless its seat-by-seat count reproduces the published totals exactly (30J + 204Y = 234 on this aircraft). Per-seat notes are rewritten into plain-language warnings for row selection.
