    Current official seat-map catalog presents one representative map for each aircraft type: 16 PorterReserve / 20 PorterClassic Stretch / 96 PorterClassic on the E195-E2 and 6 PorterReserve / 72 PorterClassic on the Dash 8-400.

    The live origin returned HTTP 403 to curl. The claim was verified from the current search-indexed official page in July 2026; the September 2025 official catalog and its two detailed diagrams are separately snapshotted for offline reprocessing.

    Official seat-map catalog calls the maps sample illustrations representative of onboard layouts and publishes the E195-E2 and Dash 8-400 product counts and legends.

    Official Dash 8-400 fleet page publishes a 2-by-2 78-seat cabin in 20 display rows, exact bulkhead/exit/overwing positions, 17-inch width, 30-inch standard pitch, one front lavatory, no Wi-Fi/power/IFE, and Expliseat TiSeat E2 hardware across the fleet.

    Wayback raw-byte capture of Porter's own page; later captures and the live origin returned the airline's bot-block page to curl. The current July 2026 official catalog separately confirms the same 6/72 product split.

    Official seating table publishes seat-product counts, exact row locations, pitch, width and recline for both the E195-E2 and Dash 8-400.

    Wayback raw-byte capture of Porter's own page; the live origin was bot-blocked to curl. The Q400 table's hidden screen-reader text contains stale E195 values (36/34-inch pitch, 46.5-inch width and up-to-6-inch recline) that conflict with the visible Q400 values. Visible 32/30-inch pitch, 17-inch width and fixed pre-reclined 2-inch values are used; the aircraft page independently repeats 30-inch pitch and 17-inch width.

    Official detailed diagram publishes partial row 1, full rows 2-20, PorterReserve and PorterClassic zones, front/rear exits and the front lavatory.

    The SVG is not an engineering window diagram and does not prove window alignment. It repeats labels 3C/3D on the right side of display row 4; Porter's explicit rows 3-20 A/B/C/D table and numeric total establish 4C/4D.

How this map was built

CURRENT CONFIG SET: Porter's current official seat-map catalog exposes one representative Dash 8-400 map, with 6 PorterReserve and 72 PorterClassic seats; no second current Dash 8-400 configuration is published. PUBLISHED STRUCTURE: Porter's official specifications state 78 seats in 20 display rows, 2-by-2 seating, bulkhead/exit positions 1A/1B/2C/2D, overwing rows 11-15 and one front lavatory. The diagram and seating table establish partial row 1 with A/B only and full A/B-C/D rows 2-20, totaling 2 + 19x4 = 78. SOURCE RECONCILIATION: the detailed diagram accidentally repeats 3C/3D on the right side of display row 4; Porter's explicit rows 3-20 A/B/C/D table and 78-seat total win, so this instance encodes 4C/4D and uses mixed provenance. PRODUCT MODEL: 1A/1B and all four row-2 seats are PorterReserve with visible 32-inch pitch, while rows 3-20 are PorterClassic with 30-inch pitch; the six physically extra-legroom seats resolve to the canonical extra-legroom tier, producing 6N/72Y. The 78Y config code is a capacity discriminator, not a claimed internal Porter code. The seating page contains stale hidden screen-reader values that conflict with its visible Q400 values; visible 32/30-inch pitch, 17-inch width and fixed pre-reclined 2-inch values are used, with 30-inch pitch and 17-inch width independently repeated on the aircraft page. Porter's page identifies only 2C/2D as row-2 bulkhead/exit seats; the row-level schema cannot encode a half-row bulkhead, so that limitation is preserved in the row-2 note. No Q400 engineering window grid exists, so windowGridType is omitted and all window positions remain unknown.
