How this map was built

Flagship four-class A380 (First, Business, Premium Economy, Economy). Cabins, rows, seat letters and bassinet positions read directly from Emirates' official per-deck seating-chart SVGs (every seat enumerated). This is the Premium Economy retrofit target: Emirates is converting its three-class A380s (see ek-388-517 and ek-388-491) to this layout, and new-build A380s were delivered in it. `replaces` names the 517-seat three-class source; the 491-seat three-class (ek-388-491) also converts to this config. First = staggered 1-2-1 private suites (window suites A/K; centre suites E/F); Business = fully-flat staggered 1-2-1 (window suites A/K sit against the window, B/J shifted toward the aisle, D/E/F/G centre); Premium Economy = 2-4-2; Economy = 3-4-3. Furniture (galleys, lavatories, Shower Spas, Onboard Lounge, staircases, doors) placement is derived from the seat gaps in the maps plus Emirates' known A380 layout and is marked derived:true. Over-wing rows and pitch/width are approximate/unsourced (Emirates does not publish seat dimensions).
