How this map was built

Vietnam Airlines' current A321 page embeds this official A321-1 map, which supplies the exact published row grid, cabin boundary, doors and monuments; layoutProvenance is published_map and no cabin or row is reconstructed from counts. Business is full 2-2 in rows 1-4 (16); Economy uses rows 10-12 and 14-38, with row 14 A/B/C/E/G; row 27 A/B/C/E/G; row 38 E/G; the enumerated total is 16J/162Y=178. The same carrier page labels Economy rows 10-12 as Premium Economy on domestic operation but as Economy on international operation. Because this is a route-dependent service overlay on the same 3-3 seats rather than a stable physical configuration, the seats remain in one Economy cabin and count as Y; no fixed Premium Economy cabin is invented. Emergency-exit rows 14 and 27 are flagged extra-legroom because Vietnam Airlines sells emergency-exit-row positions as wide/extra-legroom seats; exact row placement comes from the published doors. No a321ceo engineering grid exists under data/window-grids at generation time (the shorter a320ceo and ACF a321neo grids are not substitutes), so windowGridType is omitted and window-position alignments remain unknown. The neutral fleet table duplicates the 8J/195Y=203 split under A321-200 and A321neo, but Vietnam Airlines explicitly identifies 8J/195Y as its A321neo configuration; no separate ceo-203 file is fabricated. October 6 assessment: every bookable seat independently evaluated within its own cabin against the exact numbered native map, published product, marked bassinet/exit evidence and nearest contiguous labelled service bank. Standard is a reviewed baseline; cabin-wide pitch/flat-bed/IFE benefits and selection fees do not justify Good. No window positions, seat-specific recline restrictions, armrest/tray geometry or door temperature measurements are published: outboard alignment remains unknown, and no warnings or glyphs are inherited from another variant. Service cautions are qualified possibilities, not measured noise; no inferred cold-door/recline/armrest/storage penalties. Service cautions are not extended across gaps whose separation is unverified.

What changed

  1. Oct 6, 2026Exact native grid reverified with historic seat identities and URL preserved. Prior blanket Business Good removed: outboard Business seats are Be Aware for their within-cabin paired-seat access disadvantage; directly accessible Business seats are Standard. Forward service warnings are not inferred across Door 1. Source-specific aft lavatory bank cautions added; exit-row Good rests on carrier extra-legroom evidence with hardware limitations unknown. Maximum-only 45 in Business pitch removed numerically; recline near10 in remains approximate. Furniture sides/anchors corrected and outboard windows unknown. Each of the two distinct longitudinal left aft lavatory glyphs is represented separately. The centre aft galley lies beyond Door 4, without a cross-gap comfort warning.
