How this map was built

Qantas Boeing 737-800, primary two-class domestic/short-haul configuration: 12 Business (2-2, rows 1-3) + 156 Economy (3-3, rows 4-29) = 168. PUBLISHED (qantas.com 737 fleet page): 'One configuration has 12 Business seats and 156 Economy seats (including 48 Qantas Economy Plus seats), with a total of 168 seats'; Business 2-2, width up to 55.9 cm (22 in) and pitch up to 99 cm (39 in); Economy 3-3, pitch 76.2 cm (30 in), width up to 43.7 cm (17.2 in), recline 12.7 cm (5 in); Charging and HD seat-back screens on selected aircraft; the current Business specification does not state a screen diagonal, and generic Economy USB connector type is not established; free Wi-Fi on selected 737s; a small number of 737s lack seat-back screens/Wi-Fi. PUBLISHED (official Qantas 737-800 seat map PDF, read row-by-row): Business columns A/C/D/F rows 1-3; Economy columns A-F rows 4-29 in continuous numbering; forward galley (right) + forward baby-change lavatory (left) ahead of row 1; over-wing emergency exits at rows 12 and 13 (both sides); two aft baby-change lavatories flanking a rear galley behind row 29; note on the fleet page 'bassinet seats aren't available on this aircraft'. The seat map colour-codes named selection categories: 'Economy Plus Front' (row 4), 'Economy Plus' (rows 5-9), 'Forward 2' (rows 10-11), 'Economy Plus Exit' (rows 12-13) and 'Forward 3' (rows 14-15) — the three Economy Plus zones total 6+30+12 = 48 seats, matching the fleet page's '48 Qantas Economy Plus seats'. DERIVED/INFERRED (marked with derived cabin=false because the grid itself is read from the published map; these are rating/attribute inferences): Economy Plus is marketed as offering more legroom, without a numeric product pitch in these snapshots. Existing ratings for front, exit and other positions remain editorial judgments rather than measured product comparisons; row 11 (immediately ahead of the forward over-wing exit) is modelled with limited recline (be_aware) per standard 737 exit geometry; row 29 (last row) is modelled with limited recline backing onto the rear galley/lavatories; the diagram establishes product/category names, not selection prices or pricing tiers; unsupported commercial literals have been withdrawn; the over-wing span (rows 10-16) is read approximately from the wing graphic. Business recline value and food service are not published on the cited pages and are omitted. SCOPE: Qantas has announced a 737-800 cabin upgrade (new Business/Economy seats, larger lockers) for 40+ aircraft from 2028 — a future product, not modelled here. A separate current 162-seat 737-800 configuration (4 airframes, Panasonic overhead video) is modelled in qf-738-162. fleetCount 75 = airframes listed in this config's registration block on the seat map PDF. WINDOW ALIGNMENT: windowGridType '737-800' is bound and scripts/window-alignment.js was run; the AC-riser windowless-window candidate (seat 8A) resolves only to MEDIUM confidence by geometric projection (no exact Qantas reference seat), so per AUTHORING §5 it is left windowAlignment 'unknown' rather than asserted 'none'; all other window seats are 'unknown'. The current native map publishes 48 Economy Plus positions: full rows 4–9 and 12–13. This product is already introduced according to FY2026 Annual Report; 2028 new-seat cabin upgrades remain future. Independent review withdrew unsupported Business 10 in screen and Economy USB-A connector assumptions; Business USB-A remains a selected-aircraft type-level specification. 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.

What changed

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Oct 1, 2026Appended native primary evidence, fleet/retrofit scope, and product/dimension corrections without full certification.
  5. Jul 14, 2026Initial creation of the 168-seat (12J/156Y) Qantas 737-800 config from the qantas.com 737 fleet page and the official Qantas 737-800 seat map PDF.
