Cabin Seats Rows Abreast Seat letters Pitch
Class J 20 1-4 2-3 A B D E F Not recorded
Economy 145 15-39 3-3 A B C D E F Not recorded

Rows and cabin features

  • Seat rows: 39
  • Rows numbered: 1-39
  • Bulkhead rows: 1 and 15
  • Galleys: row 1 (front) and row 39 (rear)
  • Lavatories: row 1 (front) and row 39 (rear)

What is distinctive about this configuration

  • Clearly distinguished from international config the 12J / 132Y configuration (12J/132Y = 144 total) by a much larger domestic Class J cabin (20 vs 12 seats) and a higher total seat count (165 vs 144).
  • Economy row numbering (15-39, spanning 25 row-number labels) is disproportionately large relative to the ~145/6 = ~24 physical rows needed for 145 seats at 3-3 abreast, consistent with JAL's practice of leaving numbering gaps between cabins; the exact skipped-row pattern was not confirmed by any accessible source in this pass.

Where this comes from

Every row above is researched against published cabin plans for this operator and then checked against live availability. Where a figure is not known it says so rather than being estimated, which is why some pitch cells read "not recorded" instead of carrying a number we would not defend.

Seats abreast and seat pitch are defined in the glossary, alongside cabin layout.
