Current native-language A321 fleet page embeds the three official A321 maps used for the 178-, 184- and 203-seat grids; it labels rows 10-12 Premium Economy on domestic operation and Economy on international operation.
The localized headline displays 184 seats rather than enumerating all embedded maps; the three official raster assets and their exact seat grids are used for per-configuration totals.

Official A321-1 raster publishes the exact 16-Business/162-Economy grid (178 seats), including row numbers, partial rows, doors, bassinets, lavatories and galleys.
The raster does not print a numeric total or aircraft-generation label; the totals are reconciled by enumerating every depicted seat, and type attribution is cross-checked against the carrier release and neutral fleet table.

A321 Business Class has seat pitch up to 45 inches and reclines nearly 10 inches; some configurations do not have footrests.

Vietnam Airlines identifies emergency-exit-row seats as wide/extra-legroom seats and states that advance-selection fees vary by seat type and flight.

Fleet table lists 178- and 184-seat A321-200 accommodations and a separate 203-seat A321neo accommodation, matching the three official raster totals.
The table is labelled as of August 2024 and also duplicates the 8J/195Y=203 split under A321-200; Vietnam Airlines’ own A321neo release is decisive for assigning the 203-seat map to A321neo, so no ceo-203 file is created.

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.
