Variant identity
Royal Brunei Airlines uses this Boeing 787-8 page for 18J / 236Y. The seat counts below come from this airline-aircraft layout, not a generic aircraft template.
- 18J / 236Y
- 254 seats as drawn
- 18 Business, 236 Economy
Seat-map fields were independently confirmed against recorded evidence for Royal Brunei Airlines. 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 + 236Y = 254 on this aircraft). Per-seat notes are rewritten into plain-language warnings for row selection.
