Exact numbered cabin grid verified against the Emirates-hosted native SVGs associated by count/class structure on 2026-10-03. Active identifies a currently published representative offering; tail and route deployment are not established. Dimensions, amenities, furniture, wing extents, bassinet positions and seat-quality claims are omitted because they were not independently established. Columns describe diagram positions, not promised aisle access. The published fleet headline calls 517 long-range; its native SVG is named mid-range. Their association is by the matching 517 count, not a claim that the marketing labels agree. Required seat-type category values are broad provisional classifications unless a separate product source supports them; the numbered diagram verifies cabin tiers, not hardware. October 4 ratings assessment: sourced schematic galley/lavatory proximity is capped at be_aware with a plain-English reason. Other seats are standard within their cabin because the reviewed evidence establishes no supported seat-specific advantage or drawback; standard is not certification of comfort. Exit/bulkhead/recline/under-seat storage differences and window alignment remain unknown where exact per-seat evidence is absent.
