Variant identity
Korean Air uses this Boeing 787-9 page for 24J / 254Y. The seat counts below come from this airline-aircraft layout, not a generic aircraft template.
- 24J / 254Y
- 278 seats as drawn
- 24 Prestige Suites, 254 Economy
Seat-map fields were independently confirmed against recorded evidence for Korean Air. 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 (24J + 254Y = 278 on this aircraft). Per-seat notes are rewritten into plain-language warnings for row selection.
