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.

Cathay's current official 35G native seating plan supplies numbered rows, seat letters, partial rows and the published 280-seat layout. Individual native legend glyphs: emergency exit only none; emergency exit with extra legroom 59A, 59C, 59H, 59K, 60A, 60K; 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.
What changed
- 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. Removed unsupported no_underseat_storage penalties. Replaced unsupported row59 lavatory-bulkhead wording with a qualified Door 3 gap note.
- Jul 14, 2026Initial Cathay Pacific A350-900 35G configuration (38J/28W/214Y = 280), transcribed row-by-row from the official 2026 Cathay seating-plan image.
