How this map was built

Vietnam Airlines' current official pages and current neutral fleet table support this 311-seat Boeing 787-9 split (28 Business / 283 Economy). The carrier's diagram supplies the cabin order, row ranges, doors and monument skeleton, but its drawn Economy grid enumerates 295 seats rather than the explicit 283; under the numeric-source tie-break, the explicit count wins. To reconcile the explicit 283Y count while preserving the published Economy range (16-50), Door 3 location and aft taper, this file models full 3-3-3 rows 16-31 and 33-46, centre-only row 32 at Door 3, centre-only rows 47-48 and two-seat centre-block rows 49-50. Those exact partial-row seat omissions are a documented count-reconciliation judgment, not an assertion from the inconsistent drawing; the Economy cabin and all its rows are therefore marked derived. Business rows 1-7 reconcile exactly to the published counts. The official product photograph supports reverse-herringbone Business geometry, while the product pages supply dimensions and screens. WindowAlignment remains unknown at window positions because no Boeing 787 window grid exists in the repository and none of the permitted sources maps windows to seats. The current fleet-wide count of 11 787-9s applies across both layouts and is not assigned per configuration.
