How this map was built

Lufthansa Boeing 747-8I in its single current long-haul layout (8F/80C/32W/244Y = 364), the only 747-8 configuration in Lufthansa's current fleet table. First Class (nose) and the main-deck Business cabin sit on the main deck; a second Business cabin fills the upper deck; Premium Economy and Economy fill the rest of the main deck. Transcribed row-by-row from the authoritative Lufthansa fleet PDF (revision 202603). Pre-Allegris First and Business (2012-era angled lie-flat). The 747-8i fleet is announced for an Allegris retrofit (Lufthansa, March 2025) but no retrofit-target seat map has been published yet, so this remains the active fleet-wide config. A second historical 747-8 layout (8F/92C/32W/208Y = 340) exists only as stale 2018-dated PDFs (seatmap-747-8-208m.pdf, internal title 201802_B748_8-92-32-208) with no 2026 refresh and is absent from Lufthansa's current fleet table, so it is treated as retired and not built. COUNT RECONCILIATION (AUTHORING §5b): the PDF header states 244 Economy (364 total), but the drawing enumerates ~246 Economy — the forward wing-box Economy sub-cabin (rows 22-25) is drawn staggered 2-4-2 with an extra forward left-window half-row (numbered 21). The explicit header count wins: that forward half-row (2 seats) is omitted so Economy totals the published 244; layoutProvenance is "mixed" for this reason. The header itself notes the layout is "representative" and "deviations are possible". Markings read from the PDF legend: orange arrows = "Sitze mit mehr Beinfreiheit" (extra-legroom seats, sold at a surcharge → row 27, modeled as extra_legroom_economy/N); dark-navy band = "Preferred Zone" (row 28, a location surcharge, still Economy/Y); cream/yellow highlight = bassinet / family-with-child positions (bulkhead rows 1, 4, 10, 16, 22, 34 — NOT extra legroom). No numeric pitch/width/screen sizes are printed on the fleet PDF; all seat-type dimensions and screen sizes are unsourced estimates. windowAlignment is left "unknown" for window seats (a top-down schematic does not prove window-to-seat alignment). The over-wing forward Economy sub-cabin (rows 22-25) is 2-4-2 (no B/J columns); the rest of Economy is 3-4-3. Row 33 centre is a galley bank at Door 4; rows 48-49 are centre-section-only as the cabin tapers to the tail.
