How this map was built

Qantas Boeing 737-800 second current configuration (labelled '737-8SA' on the seat map; 4 airframes VH-XZQ/R/S/T): 12 Business (2-2, rows 1-3) + 150 Economy (3-3, rows 5-12 and 14-30) = 162. PUBLISHED (qantas.com 737 fleet page): 'The second configuration has 12 Business seats and 150 Economy seats, with a total of 162 seats.' Business/Economy seat dimensions are the shared 737 figures (Business 2-2 up to 55.9 cm/22 in width, up to 99 cm/39 in pitch; Economy 3-3 76.2 cm/30 in pitch, up to 43.7 cm/17.2 in width, 12.7 cm/5 in recline). PUBLISHED (official Qantas 737-8SA seat map PDF, read seat-by-seat): Business columns A/C/D/F rows 1-3; Economy columns A-F rows 5-12 and 14-30 (row 4 and row 13 are numbering gaps, absent on the map); forward galley + forward baby-change lavatory (with crew seat) ahead of row 1; over-wing exit rows 14 and 15 (marked EXIT ROW SEATING, not available to customers with a disability); twin aft baby-change lavatories + crew seats + rear galley behind row 30; legend states 'BASSINETS NOT AVAILABLE', 'PANASONIC OVERHEAD VIDEO', and 'AC POWER and USB-A THROUGHOUT - BYO DEVICE'. The map colour-codes named selection categories: 'Forward (1) Front' (row 5), 'Forward Zone (1)' (rows 6-10), 'Forward Zone (2)' (rows 11-12), Exit rows (14-15) and 'Forward Zone (3)' (rows 16-17). DERIVED/INFERRED: the forward selection categories are the same physical 30-inch Economy seat, so only the bulkhead front row (5) and the exit rows (14-15) are rated 'good' for genuine extra legroom; the other forward zones are location-based categories and rated 'standard'; row 12 (immediately ahead of the forward over-wing exit — row 13 being a numbering gap) is modelled with limited recline (be_aware); row 30 (last row) is modelled with limited recline backing onto the rear galley/lavatories; the diagram establishes category names, not selection prices or pricing tiers; unsupported commercial literals have been withdrawn; the retained over-wing span (rows 12-17) is an uncertain schematic inference around exit rows 14-15; this 8SA diagram draws no wing graphic. This sub-fleet has no seat-back screens (Panasonic overhead video); Wi-Fi installation is not established by this exact map. Business recline value and food service are not published and are omitted. The primary 168-seat 737-800 configuration is modelled in qf-738-168. fleetCount 4 = airframes listed on this config's seat map (VH-XZQ, VH-XZR, VH-XZS, VH-XZT). WINDOW ALIGNMENT: windowGridType '737-800' is bound and scripts/window-alignment.js was run; the AC-riser windowless-window candidate (seat 9A) resolves only to MEDIUM confidence by geometric projection, so per AUTHORING §5 it is left windowAlignment 'unknown'; all other window seats are 'unknown'. Exact 8SA diagram explicitly states AC and USB-A throughout and Panasonic overhead video, while generic fleet page also describes a small 737 subset without screens/Wi-Fi/Entertainment App. These are different evidence granularities; no tail allocation guessed. 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 native 8SA diagram also draws a galley-coloured segmented block on the forward left side between the blue lavatory/crew-seat symbol and seats 1A/1C. Its omission does not assert absence; no additional precise row anchor or engineering measurement is inferred.

What changed

  1. Oct 3, 2026Explicitly qualified the 8SA furniture list as representative and not exhaustive, documenting the native forward-left galley-coloured block without inventing another anchor. Passenger seats, furniture geometry, counts, verification date and prior history are unchanged.
  2. Oct 3, 2026Withdrew the unsupported drop-down overhead-video adjective and corrected punctuation spacing. Native diagram references explicitly bind only source-supported selection-category/notes statements; numeric dimensions remain type-page evidence. Added narrowly supported native notes references. Passenger seats, counts, verification dates and historical changelog entries are unchanged.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Oct 1, 2026Appended native primary evidence, fleet/retrofit scope, and product/dimension corrections without full certification.
  7. Jul 14, 2026Initial creation of the 162-seat (12J/150Y) Qantas 737-800 "737-8SA" config (4 overhead-video airframes) from the qantas.com 737 fleet page and the official Qantas 737-8SA seat map PDF.
