Hi there all, I was browsing seat maps for LATAM's 787-900 which they use on their SCL-AKL-SYD and SCL-MEL trans-pacific routes.
Specifically I was trying to work out why their J seats are so cramped. In general the Qantas 787's devote more space to premium seats. But then I noticed something else - Latam seem to have a lot more seats overall in all classes and fewer exits than the QF 787?
Using the seat maps as per seatguru (and checked against expertflyer) I got the following stats:
Total pax: QF 236 vs Latam 313
Exits: QF 8 vs Latam 6
Pax per exit: QF 30 vs Latam 52
How can this be so? They are identical aircraft, both used for very long-haul routes.
