China Southern fleet table: Airbus A321-200 (ceo, 81 in service) has THREE passenger configurations — 12 J / 24 W / 143 Y = 179, 4 J / 18 W / 167 Y = 189, and 4 J / 24 W / 167 Y = 195 (W = Premium Economy Class); listed separately from the A321neo (94 in service, 195/200-seat layouts).

Official A321(32L) cabin-layout page (the ceo): 189 seats — 4 Business (pitch 60 in, width 21 in, recline 6/7 in) / 18 Premium Economy (33 in / 17.8 in / 4/4.5 in) / 167 Economy (30/31 in / 17.8 in / 4/4.5 in). Note: on international routes Premium Economy Class is referred to as Economy Class. Seat map is a reference image only. The 17.8-inch economy seat (vs 18.36 in on the neo pages) marks this as the A321-200 (ceo).

Airbus cabin-layout index listing the A321 layouts currently published: A321-200(32Z), A321(321), A321(32L), A321(32Q), A321(32R), A321(32Y). The A321-200-labelled page plus the two plain-A321 pages carrying a narrow 17.3/17.8-inch economy seat correspond to the three A321-200 (ceo) fleet rows; the 18.36-inch economy pages (32Q/32R) are the A321neo.

Official A321(32Y) cabin-layout page: 208 seats — 8 Business / 24 Premium Economy / 176 Economy with an 18.36-inch economy seat. Cited as excluded-config evidence: this 208-seat 'A321' page appears in NEITHER the Wikipedia A321-200 (ceo) rows (179/189/195) nor the A321neo rows (195/200), and its 18.36-inch economy seat matches the neo width, so it cannot be neutrally attributed to the ceo and is out of scope.
Retrieved via Wayback (20240528 raw-bytes). Excluded config; included only as scoping evidence for the neo/ceo determination.

China Southern A321-200 (ceo) 189-seat configuration, csair fleet/config code 32L. PER-CABIN COUNTS AND DIMENSIONS ARE PUBLISHED/PRIMARY: China Southern's official cabin-layout page for A321(32L) (csair.com, retrieved via the Wayback 2024-05-28 snapshot) lists 4 Business (pitch 60 in, 21 in width, 6–7 in recline) / 18 Premium Economy (33 in / 17.8 in / 4–4.5 in) / 167 Economy (30/31 in / 17.8 in / 4–4.5 in), total 189. Business is a single 2-2 bulkhead row (4 seats). NOTE: China Southern markets the Premium Economy (W) cabin as 'Economy Class' on international routes; modelled here as premium_economy by canonical tier, consistent with the sister files. NEO vs CEO ATTRIBUTION: the Wikipedia China Southern fleet table (neutral backbone) lists the A321-200 (ceo) with exactly THREE configs — 12J/24W/143Y=179 (cz-321-179), this 4J/18W/167Y=189, and 4J/24W/167Y=195 (cz-321-195) — separate from the A321neo (195/200). The ceo pages carry a NARROW economy seat (17.8 in here) versus the neo's 18.36 in — the width is the primary ceo/neo signal. The csair 'A321(32Y)' 208-seat page (18.36 in economy) appears in NEITHER Wikipedia row and is excluded (see the excluded-config source). LAYOUT DERIVED_FROM_COUNTS: the csair seat map is a reference image only, so the row grid, door/exit positions and the monument-tapered forward partial row are structural reconstructions from the published counts + abreast layouts and CLASSIC A321-200 (ceo) door geometry — FOUR full door pairs (Doors 1-4) with Doors 2 and 3 flanking the wing as the emergency exits, NOT the neo's Airbus Cabin Flex Type III overwing hatches. No windowGridType is bound. Every cabin carries derived:true. DERIVATIONS: Business 2-2 row 1 (4, bulkhead); Premium Economy 3-3 rows 2-4 (18); Economy 3-3 rows 5-32 — a forward-right galley/closet tapers row 5 to a 5-seat bulkhead partial (column F removed), leaving 162 in the 27 full rows 6-32, to reach 167; the two full-door exit rows (Doors 2/3) are projected at rows 12 and 21 with normal recline and extra legroom, and the last row 32 backs onto the aft galley/lav (limited recline). Doors, galleys and lavatories are derived. windowAlignment left 'unknown' on all window seats (derived grid). China Southern operates 81 A321-200 (ceo) aircraft (Wikipedia); the per-config airframe split is not published. Exact row numbers, numbering gaps, monument positions and exit-door rows may differ from China Southern's actual map.
