How this map was built

Three-class A380 (First, Business, Economy) — the ultra-long-range layout with the least Economy seating and no Premium Economy. Cabins/rows/seat letters read from Emirates' official seating-chart SVGs (every seat enumerated), which yield 14F/76J/401Y = 491 seats. Emirates' fleet page markets this variant as "489 seats"; the enumerated seat map is the more precise source and is used here, with the 2-seat headline discrepancy noted. Marked retrofit_source: converts to the four-class Premium Economy layout ek-388-484. First/Business are the shared staggered 1-2-1 cabins; Economy is 3-4-3. Furniture derived from seat gaps + known A380 layout (derived:true); pitch/width unsourced.
