How this map was built

Cathay's current A321neo selector publishes both 32P and 32Q. It states 32Q has 12 Business / 190 Economy = 202. Every seat row comes from the official CX-A321neo-32Q-fleet.png: 2-2 Business rows 10-12 (12 seats); Economy has full rows 22-32 (66), full row 35 (6), full rows 36-44 (54), partial row 45 with 45B/45C/45H/45J (4), and full rows 55-64 (60) = 190. Cathay identifies row 35 and the first row of the second Economy section (row 55) as emergency-exit rows, marks all six row-55 seats as extra legroom and explicitly identifies 55A/55K as non-viewing. The six row-55 seats remain inside one physical Economy cabin but resolve to 6N in cabinSummary, leaving 184 ordinary Y seats. Wing rows 31-41 are read from the official schematic's wing outline. Cathay's Annual Report 2025 says the airline will reduce A321neo Economy seat counts to add space; because original 202-seat 32Q remains beside lower-density 32P on the current selector, 32Q is linked as the inferred retrofit source superseded by 32P. Cathay does not publish a per-tail conversion roster, so the retrofit relationship is a reasoned inference rather than a stated code-to-code mapping. Window alignment is unknown except for the explicitly non-viewing 55A/55K. Unpublished pitch, width and recline numbers are omitted.
