How this map was built

Qantas’ refurbished (2019–2020) four-class A380 — the only configuration now flying. First (14) and Economy (341) on the main deck; Business (70) and Premium Economy (60) upstairs. Every seat, row number and cabin boundary is read directly from Qantas’ official A380 seat-map PDF (qantas.com), and all seat counts reconcile exactly to Qantas’ published 14/70/60/341 totals. First is a 1-1-1 staggered suite (window A/K rows 1–5, centre F rows 2–5). Business is a 1-2-1 staggered lie-flat suite (window A/K rows 11–28 = 36 seats; centre E/F on 17 rows — row 16 centre is a bulkhead bassinet monument — = 34 seats; total 70). Premium Economy is 2-3-2, rows 31–37 full then tapering (row 38 = D-K, row 39 = E-K, row 40 = J/K) to 60. Economy is 3-4-3, rows 48–88 (no row 78), staggered around the doors, wing and monuments: front rows 48–51 and 64–65 are partial, row 70 omits 70D, rear rows 79–80 and 87–88 taper. All seat dimensions, pitch, recline, screen sizes and the 2019 refurbishment are published by Qantas; converted from the cm figures on qantas.com. Fleet is 10 aircraft (VH-OQE and VH-OQF were retired/scrapped after the pandemic and are excluded). windowAlignment is ‘unknown’ on window seats because the map shows seat positions but not true window alignment. Furniture placement and over-wing row extent are derived from the map and marked approximate/derived.
