Why can’t it just say on Japan airlines website 787-9 v1 or v 2?
JAL displays the exact seat type and seat map for the flight. You can see the available seats and their locations. Why does it matter whether it's E92, E91, E71, or whatever new variants that you get?
Most passengers probably don't care about that at all. Those who are interested in the exact config name are probably capable of figuring it out. Why add the info and confuse 99% of the people just so the 1% can benefit from it?
