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 A321-3 raster publishes the exact 8-Business/195-Economy grid (203 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.

Vietnam Airlines identifies its A321neo as a 203-seat two-class aircraft with 8 Business and 195 Economy seats, and publishes wireless streaming entertainment for passengers’ personal devices.

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 A321-3 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 1-2 (8); Economy uses rows 10-12 and 14-44, with row 17 B/C/D/E; row 18 A/B/C/E/G; row 31 B/C/D/E; row 32 A/B/C/E/G; row 44 D/E/G; the enumerated total is 8J/195Y=203. 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 18 and 32 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. The variant-exact a321neo engineering grid is bound for window classification; it has no high-confidence structural blanks, so window-position alignments remain unknown unless the classifier writes otherwise. 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.
