Variant identity
Qatar Airways uses this Boeing 787-8 page for 18J / 249Y. The seat counts below come from this airline-aircraft layout, not a generic aircraft template.
- 18J / 249Y
- 267 seats as drawn
- 18 Business Class, 249 Economy Class
Seat-map fields were independently confirmed against recorded evidence for Qatar 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 (18J + 249Y = 267 on this aircraft). Per-seat notes are rewritten into plain-language warnings for row selection.
