| Cabin | Seats | Rows | Abreast | Seat letters | Pitch |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| JAL SKY WIDER | 176 | 18-55 | 2-4-2 | A C D E F G H K | Not recorded |
Rows and cabin features

- Lavatories: row 1 (front, ahead of row 1), row 8 (rear of business cabin) x2 and row 55 (rear)
What is distinctive about this configuration
- 206 total seats with a 176-seat economy cabin distinguishes this 'Shell Flat Neo' config from the smaller 'Apex' 787-8 config (the Boeing 787-8 30J / 156Y configuration) which has only 156 economy seats (186 total) despite sharing the same 1-8/18-55 row numbering convention
- Presence of a dedicated 30-seat Business-only 2-class layout (Shell Flat Neo, 2-2-2 angle-flat, no direct aisle access for window seats) distinguishes this config from JAL's domestic 787-8 config (the Boeing 787-8 6F / 58J / 227Y configuration), which has no international Business/premium cabin and instead uses a 3-class-style domestic Class J + all-economy layout
- Economy is 2-4-2 (8-abreast, ~18-19in wide seats) rather than the industry-standard 3-3-3, a JAL-specific trait shared across its international 787-8/787-9/777-300ER widebody economy cabins

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.
