Introducing aeroLOPA: A new portfolio of detailed UA cabin layout plans
Hello esteemed FlyerTalkers. I'd like to welcome you to aeroLOPA. It's a project I started over a year ago initially for my own benefit but from May this year the project transformed into its own dedicated website. Today, I am happy to announce a new portfolio of United cabin layout plans is in production and the first (beta) phase covering the Boeing 787 Dreamliners is now available on aeroLOPA.com
AeroLOPA's mission is to create and share detailed seat diagrams that are as easy to access and read on a mobile phone as they are on a desktop computer. What they do not do is tell you where the best seats are, rather its aim is to provide all the necessary information you need to make your own informed decision. For the all chit chat, questions, answers, and debate, FT is still the place
The creative process starts with a technical blueprint of each aircraft type. Factory standard galley, washroom, storage units are inserted, then the cabins are populated with seats and carefully space planned. It sounds simple, but to ensure accuracy scores of photos are scrutinised, cabin videos closely studied allowing seat positions to be spot checked, adjusted if necessary and the diagrams fine tuned. Thanks to the detailed information I have read here in the United forum the 787 content has been a joy to prepare and I hope the cabin layout plans will also be useful to you.
Full cabin and seat descriptions for each aircraft type will be added during the days ahead, and other aircraft types will be added in future weeks.
Enjoy and let me know what's working and any areas you think need attention.
Samples below:
Boeing 787-8
Boeing 787-9
Boeing 787-10

I am using United’s own fleet webpage and planespotters.net as references for the fleet status. Is there a more authoritative source I should be referring to?

In one way it is a shame the type 1 787-8 has now been consigned to the history books. The E+ seat pitch was remarkably generous at 35.4 inches
