Seats to avoid
- 1A, 2A, 2K, 3A, 3K, 4A, 4K, 5A, 5K, 6A — 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.
- 1C — A native bassinet position is at this seat group; possible infant-related disturbance is a qualified editorial caution, not measured noise.
- 1D — 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.
- Bassinet rows: 1
- Rows next to a galley: 1 and 6
- Rows next to a lavatory: 1 and 6
Economy Class
Seats to avoid
- 7A, 7B — The native diagram conditionally annotates non-removable armrests on registrations B-18310/B-18311/B-18315/B-18316/B-18317. Tail-to-layout allocation is unresolved; this is a disclosed possible armrest limitation, not a claim that every aircraft of this layout has fixed armrests.
- 7J, 7K, 25A, 25B, 26D, 26E, 26F, 26G, 26J, 26K — This exact seat is next to a labeled lavatory bank in the native schematic. Possible disturbance is an editorial caution; distance, noise and queues are unmeasured.
- Bassinet rows: 8 and 27
- Rows next to a galley: 8 and 44
- Rows next to a lavatory: 7, 25, 26, 27, and 41

The official In-Service Fleet section, dated 31 May 2026, reports 64 passenger jets and identifies 12 of them as A330-300 aircraft.
This airline-wide type count proves current passenger-fleet service but does not allocate the 12 airframes between the two published cabin layouts.

The current official English seat-map index publishes an A330-300 entry and links to the airline seating chart.
Fresh official index HTML downloaded directly from the airline URL on 2026-10-05. The preserved snapshot contains current route qualifiers and official chart URLs; route qualifiers are not guaranteed aircraft assignments for individual flights.

The current official A330-300 chart publishes two exact layouts: 30 Business / 277 Economy and 36 Business / 277 Economy; it also gives row and seat positions, Extra Comfort and Preferred seat lists, pitch and width, exits, bassinets, galleys, lavatories, accessible lavatories, closets, and tail-specific fixed-armrest notes.
Fresh native bytes downloaded directly from the official airline URL on2026-10-05; personally inspected with retained readable panels. Furniture anchors are derived schematic positions, not calibrated footprints. Armrest symbols are conditional for the listed five registrations; no tail-to-layout allocation is established. Qualified seat-level reasons preserve the uncertainty.

China Airlines' official chart publishes this as one of two current A330-300 layouts: 36 Business and 277 Economy seats (313 installed seats). Business is 2-2-2 in 6 complete rows 1-6. Economy is 2-4-2 with 277 seats: 7AB/7JK; full row 8-12; row 13 is skipped; full rows 14-25; 26DEFG/26JK; full rows 27-39; 40AB/40DEG/40JK and 41AB/41DEG/41JK; 42DEG/42JK and 43DEG/43JK; and 44DEG. The chart designates 16 Economy positions as Extra Comfort and 20 as Preferred. Although 7A/7K/27A/27K are listed as Extra Comfort, the same chart states that an escape-slide container ahead leaves those four positions with no additional leg space. The official map and 31 May 2026 fleet page establish current service but do not publish per-layout fleet counts or registration assignments. Ordinary window alignment remains unknown because the schematic does not show fuselage window positions. 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. CRS installation exceptions do not prove missing windows. 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 36J/277Y. 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. The chart conditionally labels fixed armrests for B-18310/B-18311/B-18315/B-18316/B-18317; allocation of those tails between307/313 layouts remains unresolved. Exact seat reasons preserve this conditional limit. No orange no-window side-wall marker is shown on either A330 native diagram.
What changed
- Oct 5, 2026Root source review: replace historical relay caveat with correct fresh direct index provenance; retain historical access failures separately in audit ledger.

- 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.
- Oct 5, 2026Root review: replace unsupported fee-category extra_legroom claims with paid_seat and qualify Extra Comfort dimensional notes.
- Oct 5, 2026Independent official-diagram methodology assessment; corrected unsupported window inferences, physical drawback caps and categorical service-bank cautions.
- Jul 16, 2026Initial China Airlines 36J/277Y A330-300 configuration, transcribed from the current official two-layout chart.
