2026-09-30: Seat labels, numbering gaps, column letters and Economy Plus assignment transcribed from United's archived official map image; standard dimensions from the matching aircraft page. Economy Plus is a zone within a shared economy cabin. Source table/image conflicts are recorded in the UA audit. Window alignment is unknown. Only published limited-recline exceptions are flagged; ratings default to standard. The schematic furniture inventory is intentionally incomplete, so unverified adjacency/bassinet/window flags from the prior inferred grid were removed. Current per-tail fleet counts, hardware, connectivity rollouts and all legacy amenity descriptions remain outside the verified claims. Matching version-2 map and table agree: First rows 1–3 ABEF, row4EF only. Pair3AB is staggered aft relative to3EF, publishes57-inch pitch and no in-seat power. No metric stagger offset or unrelated monument geometry is inferred.
