Seats to avoid

  • 10A, 10K, 11A, 11K, 12A, 12K — In this paired Business layout this window-side seat must pass its aisle-side neighbor. This is a within-Business access difference, not a downgrade for window position alone.
  • 10H — This exact seat is next to a labeled galley bank in the native schematic. Possible service disturbance is an editorial caution; distance and noise are unmeasured.

Seats to avoid

  • 40A, 40B, 40C, 40H, 40J, 40K — The native diagram explicitly outlines this exact Economy seat as having non-removable armrests. No tray location or numerical width loss is inferred.

How this map was built

China Airlines publishes 12 Premium Business and 168 Economy seats = 180. The exact official grid has three full 2-2 Business rows 10-12 (12 seats) and 28 full 3-3 Economy rows 40-43 and 45-68 (168 seats). The map marks all seats in rows 48 and 49 as non-reclining, identifies rows 49-50 as the two adjacent ACF exit rows, and marks 60A/60K as side-wall positions without windows. STELIA identifies the customized ELYSIUM Premium Business hardware. The official A321neo map does not key any Family Couch or Skycouch-style rows, so none are invented or assigned. Paid Preferred/Extra Comfort labels alone do not prove a comfort advantage within the modeled cabin. Schematic proximity supports qualified Be Aware cautions, not calibrated distance or measured disturbance. All unannotated window alignment remains unknown; no engineering window model is used. Extra Comfort remains a commercial selection name on the underlying Economy hardware. Its seat-type category and canonical tier remain Economy; paid_seat records its fare-dependent pricing category. There is no source-supported physical extra-legroom taxonomy. Official installed cabin totals are 12J/168Y. Exact native G/L/accessible icons have each been transcribed separately. Their row anchors support schematic ordering, not literal footprint or distance. Closets and intervening service/lounge blocks are not inferred as lavatories or galleys. Ordinary unannotated window alignment remains unknown.

What changed

  1. Oct 5, 2026Root source review: replace historical relay caveat with correct fresh direct index provenance; retain historical access failures separately in audit ledger.
  2. Oct 5, 2026Actual Claude findings: reconstruct all labeled native service icons, reconcile exact nearest-seat cautions and armrest observations, remove unsupported mirrors and stale evidence metadata.
  3. Oct 5, 2026Root review: preserve Extra Comfort commercial names and type IDs, classify physical hardware as underlying Economy, recompute official cabin totals and retain fare-category information only.
  4. Oct 5, 2026Root review: replace unsupported fee-category extra_legroom claims with paid_seat and qualify Extra Comfort dimensional notes.
  5. Oct 5, 2026Independent official-diagram methodology assessment; corrected unsupported window inferences, physical drawback caps and categorical service-bank cautions.
  6. Jul 16, 2026Initial China Airlines standard A321neo 180-seat configuration, transcribed from the current official map.
