    Exit-seat occupants must be at least 12 years old whether accompanied or not, and not seated with an infant. Advance seat-reservation limitations for unaccompanied minors are separate from exit occupancy eligibility. Extra-legroom seats can be reserved for an additional fee by passengers not eligible for free reservation; Cathay Diamond/Gold, oneworld Emerald/Sapphire and Economy Flex passengers can reserve them free.

    Applied only to individually native-marked exit seats. No blanket unaccompanied-minor occupancy prohibition is inferred from advance-reservation policy; no quality effect.

How this map was built

Cathay's current official 33A native seating plan supplies numbered rows, seat letters, partial rows and the published 280-seat layout. Individual native legend glyphs: emergency exit only 59A, 59K; emergency exit with extra legroom 59C, 59H; extra legroom without exit designation none. Plain exit glyphs establish eligibility alone. No family-wide or row-position assumption fills unmarked seats. Eligibility remains neutral; ordinary window alignment and as-flown assignment remain unknown. Methodology assessment 2026-10-05: each bookable seat reviewed within its own cabin against the current official seat plan and published exceptions. Cabin amenities and seat-selection eligibility do not create a quality upgrade. Standard denotes the reviewed cabin baseline, with unresolved physical details explicitly retained. G/L flags identify only inspected nearest labelled schematic boundaries and remain capped BeAware; unlabelled blocks, intervening structures and uncalibrated gaps do not establish physical proximity. Every expressly icon-labelled galley/lavatory block is transcribed using its native transverse bank and a qualified derived row anchor. Furniture rendering remains a coarse schematic; unlabelled blocks and overlapping anchors do not certify exact footprint or distance. Paired Business window-position A/K seats are assessed against aisle positions within that same cabin: the native grid shows an intervening neighbour, so independent aisle access is absent and quality is capped BeAware. This rule is not applied to ordinary Economy positioning.

What changed

  1. Oct 5, 2026Rechecked official native rows and cabin totals; preserved historical ID and seat grid. Assessed every seat relative to its cabin and retained unknown physical details. Transcribed labelled service icons with qualified bank/row anchors and documented cautious service exposure or explicit exclusions. Rechecked individual exit and extra-legroom glyphs. Cited current airline exit eligibility policy: minimum age 12 and no infant. Eligibility remains separate from comfort quality. Withdrew unsupported extra-legroom flags/types on 59A, 59K. Applied the same-cabin Business aisle-access cap to 14A, 14K, 15A, 15K, 16A, 16K, 17A, 17K, 18A, 18K, 19A, 19K, 20A, 20K. Corrected row-group notes to list only exact extra-legroom seats and removed unproven whole-row pricing classification.
