Routes and cabin configurations, not a cabin diagram." canonical: "https://2lnr.com/seatmaps/jl/787-8" url: "https://2lnr.com/seatmaps/jl/787-8.md" date_modified: "2026-10-22T14:17:27Z" --- # Japan Airlines Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner seat maps and routes The Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner covers 65 nonstop routes and 30 airports for Japan Airlines (JL) in 2LNR's schedule data, Tokyo to Osaka, Osaka to Tokyo, and Tokyo to Fukuoka among them. Every route below links to that city pair, so you can find a departure on this aircraft rather than guessing. What isn't here is a static cabin diagram: 2LNR reads the live seat map for a specific flight and date instead. Updated October 22, 2026. [Get started free](https://2lnr.com/login) [The whole JL fleet](https://2lnr.com/seatmaps/jl.md) 65 Nonstop routes 30 Airports served 6,260 mi Longest route Per flight How the live map reads ## There is no cabin diagram on this page 2LNR doesn't publish stored seat diagrams or per-seat comfort ratings, for this aircraft or any other, and it won't invent them. What it has is the live seat map for a specific JL flight and date, read at the moment you ask, on Pro. That's a different thing from a drawing of the type, and it's the only version that survives an aircraft swap. If a diagram is what you came for, a maintained library such as [AeroLOPA](https://www.aerolopa.com/) is the right tool. ## What's on this page Every nonstop route Japan Airlines currently schedules the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner on, taken from the flight schedules 2LNR collects continuously. The aircraft is a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, a widebody. JL files it as 788 in its schedules; those spellings are treated as one aircraft here rather than as separate types. The longest of those routes is [Chicago (ORD) to Tokyo (NRT)](https://2lnr.com/routes/ord-nrt.md), about 6,260 miles. The median route runs about 1,860 miles, so most of this aircraft's flying is a good deal shorter than its longest leg. Distances are great-circle between the two airports, rounded to the nearest ten, rather than the track a flight files. ## Configurations recorded for JL The configuration Japan Airlines records for this aircraft. - Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner These are the aircraft names in 2LNR's own reference for JL, not seat counts and not a cabin layout. We don't refresh that reference on a schedule, so we don't claim a date for it. Configurations change with retrofits, and an airline can assign a different aircraft on the day, so treat this as context rather than as what you'll board. ## Where JL flies the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner 65 nonstop routes across 30 airports, grouped by departure city. A route appears here when JL has scheduled this aircraft on it. On 17 of these 65 routes, the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner is the only aircraft type JL schedules in 2LNR's schedule data. ### Bangalore (BLR) - [Bangalore (BLR) to Tokyo (NRT)](https://2lnr.com/routes/blr-nrt.md) ### Bangkok (BKK) -

The full list is on this page, grouped by departure city, and each route opens that city pair's own page. Schedules move seasonally, so this reflects what JL currently has filed rather than a permanent assignment. **Can I see the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner seat map for a specific JL flight?** Yes, on Pro, and it is the live map for the specific flight and date rather than a drawing of the type. 2LNR scores the open seats inside your cabin, marks paid seats as paid, and can keep watching for a better one. That is deliberately different from a static Japan Airlines Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner diagram, which cannot tell you whether 12A is free or whether the aircraft was swapped. **Is the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner the only aircraft on these JL routes?** No. A route appears here when JL has scheduled the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner on it, and most routes see more than one aircraft type across a season or even a day. That is exactly why 2LNR reads the map per flight: the honest answer to which cabin you will get is a per-departure answer, not a per-route one. **Does 2LNR have seat ratings for the Japan Airlines Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner?** Not as a published library of per-seat comfort ratings for the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, and this page will not invent them. What 2LNR scores is the seats actually open in your cabin on your JL flight, so the answer is a seat you can select rather than a general opinion about a row. For browsing a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner cabin layout on an aircraft you have not booked, a maintained diagram library such as AeroLOPA remains the better tool. **How far does the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner fly for JL?** The longest of the 65 routes JL schedules it on is Chicago (ORD) to Tokyo (NRT), about 6,260 miles measured great-circle between the two airports rather than as flown track miles. The median route on this aircraft runs about 1,860 miles, so the long one is the exception rather than the pattern. Range on the day depends on load, winds and the specific variant, so treat this as the shape of the flying rather than as a capability figure. ## See the seats on your JL flight Free to start.
