Some sources on here previously have quoted this article:

https://onemileatatime.com/news/brit...7-club-suites/

It states the following:

Meanwhile British Airways Boeing 787-9s will go from having 216 seats to having 215 seats, resulting in a capacity reduction of one seat:
  • First class will maintain eight seats
  • Business class will go from 42 seats to 38 seats
  • Premium economy will maintain 39 seats
  • Economy will go from 127 seats to 130 seats
There’s not nearly as much of a change to the Boeing 787-9 configuration, as I imagine we’re not seeing most cabin dividers moved.

Whether it has good sources or is correct or not I do not know and having locked at a current Aerolopa 789 seating plan, I am not clear how they easily add three WT/Ecenomy seats but we shall see in 3-4 months I guess ....
