That is really, really interesting! So far, the narrowest plane with 3-4-3 has been DC-10. A350 will have 10 abreast, too - but B787? Though it is not in the source linked: with the slimline Pinnacle economy seats ranked in a 3-3-3 layout.

355 seats, 21 business class seats in a 2-3-2 configuration and 314 seats in a 3-4-3 [edit] 3-3-3 configuration This accounts for 314+21=335 seats of the total of 355. What are the other 20? Anyway, the article quoted finds only 335 seats, which matches the sum of classes.

Is that the -8 or -9? It's a sardine can nevertheless! But not a new sardine can! 335 seats in 787-8 is exactly what ANA already has. ANA has both most seats on 787 (335) and fewest (158). Nobody else has more than 270 (Ethiopian) nor fewer than 186 (JAL). The only difference between Jetstar and ANA is that Jetstar has fewer economy seats, at 314, whereas ANA has 323. This is a difference of 9 seats, meaning exactly one row. Also, Jetstar´s business class is 7 abreast where ANA is 6 abreast - and 1 more row gives Jetstar 21 business seats, exactly 9 more than JAL has. ANA 323 coach seats are 9 abreast - but so are all other airlines besides JAL and ANA. Are there any differences between the economy classes of different 787 operators?
