How this map was built

Qantas’ published refurbished four-class A380 layout; exact current-tail installations are not independently certified here. 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. Independent review: current official generic USB charging does not identify connector type; prior USB-A structured assertions withdrawn. 2026-10-01 audit: public diagrams certify only explicitly checked rows, drawn positions and stated products. Window alignment, exact wing/furniture geometry, engineering installed capacity, hardware identities, tail allocation and inferred restrictions are not certified. Current page publication is not proof of completed fleet-wide conversion. Existing verification date remains historical. FURNITURE SCOPE: the furniture list is representative and not exhaustive. The main-deck native diagram also shows meal-icon monuments at the right side near rows 49–50 and between rows 77/79, and tail toilet icons behind the aft galley. Their omission from the furniture list does not assert absence; no additional measured geometry or precise row binding is inferred.

What changed

  1. Oct 3, 2026Qualified the A380 IFE summary to the published cabin-specific wording: high-definition seat-back screens throughout, with touchscreen expressly stated for First, Premium Economy and Economy. Published screen sizes are retained; no claim is made about Business touch capability.
  2. Oct 3, 2026Corrected spacing in the newly added forward staircase and furniture-scope prose. Source-supported content, furniture anchors, passenger seats, counts, verification date and prior history are unchanged. The prior actual A380 digest had a partial line 230 reading; this correction does not retroactively complete it.
  3. Oct 3, 2026Corrected the forward main-deck staircase identification with a derived coarse before-row1 centre anchor and paired upper-deck connection. Qualified the monument list as representative/non-exhaustive for the native omitted galley/tail-toilet symbols. Added narrowly supported native notes references. Passenger seats, counts, verification dates and historical changelog entries are unchanged.
  4. Oct 3, 2026Withdrew unsupported pricing-tier and paid/preferred commercial literals and matching active prose; preserved source-named product/selection categories, all passenger positions and prior source corrections. No fees inferred from diagram colours.
  5. Oct 3, 2026Validated actual final-first model findings against protected native diagrams and specifications; corrected supported monument/row/product claims and withdrew unsupported hardware or installation assertions. Coarse monument anchors remain derived; preserved all passenger positions, counts, historical verification date and prior changelog. Fresh final-byte source/render approval remains required.
  6. Oct 3, 2026Staged source-bound annual citations and supported product/public uncertainty corrections before first actual model review; preserved all numbered seats, counts, status, source verification date and original history. Final source/configuration review remains pending.
  7. Oct 1, 2026Appended native primary evidence, fleet/retrofit scope, and product/dimension corrections without full certification.
  8. Jul 14, 2026Initial Qantas A380-800 four-class config (485 seats, post-2019 refurbishment) built from Qantas’ official seat-map PDF and fleet page.
