    Current official 217-seat domestic A321neo map: every seat identifier, exit rows, partial rows, seat-level pitch/recline, and narrow/fixed-armrest details.

    The row-27 exit seats have no separate pitch value, so none is invented. The schematic does not prove real window-to-seat alignment.

How this map was built

Air New Zealand’s current domestic A321neo map is transcribed directly from the interactive HTML: 217 Economy seats in rows 1-37, including partial row 26 (BCDE) and final row 37 (ABC). No Space+ block is published for this domestic layout. The 12 published exit-row seats in rows 17 and 27 resolve to the extra-legroom N tier, producing 12N/205Y inside the single Economy cabin. Row 17 publishes 96 cm (38 in) pitch; row 27 publishes the Exit Row designation but no separate pitch, so no value is invented. The forward 81 cm seats remain Y because Air New Zealand does not label them as a separately sold legroom tier on this map. Fixed-armrest, narrow-width and no-recline details are retained as notes/flags. Furniture comes from the official background diagram. The exact a321neo engineering grid is bound; no window alignment is asserted manually.
