Live A330-300 fleet page: six current registrations; one configuration with 31 Upper Class, 48 Premium, 36 Economy Delight and 149 Economy Classic & Light seats; cabin pitch, width and recline specifications; embedded official seating-plan image.
The page metadata says last modified 30 March 2026 and build date 16 July 2026. Its explicit 36-seat Economy Delight count conflicts with the linked diagram, which visibly marks only 24 individual Delight seats; the explicit count is used per the corpus tie-break.

The diagram marks 24 outboard Economy Delight seats, versus the live page’s explicit total of 36. It proves the published row grid and monuments but not the identities of the additional 12 Delight seats, real window alignment, numeric exit-row pitch, recline restrictions or wing-row boundaries.

ACTIVE-SERVICE GATE: Virgin Atlantic's live A330-300 page was built on 16 July 2026 (page content last modified 30 March 2026) and lists six named registrations under this configuration. Virgin Atlantic's 2025 Annual Report, published in 2026, says two A330-300s retired during 2025 and six remained at year end; Planespotters' fleet matrix updated 23 June 2026 independently lists six in service and none parked. The type is therefore still active despite its continuing replacement by A330neos. Virgin publishes one current A330-300 configuration: 31 Upper Class + 48 Premium + 185 Economy = 264. The count-based config.code is descriptive because no airline-internal code is published. PUBLISHED ROW GRID: the official A330-300 map shows Upper Class herringbone 1-1-1 A/G/K, rows 1-10 full plus centre-only 11G = 31; Premium 2-3-2 A/C | D/F/G | H/K, row 18 left pair, row 19 outboard pairs, rows 20-25 full = 48; Economy 2-4-2 A/C | D/E/F/G | H/K with full rows 40-45, 6-seat row 46, centre-only rows 47-49, full rows 50-60, 2-3-2 rows 61-64, and centre-only row 65 = 185. Preferred brackets are transcribed per seat. Door 3's four outboard seats 50A/C/H/K are explicitly labelled Exit Row. PRIMARY-SOURCE CONFLICT: the live page explicitly states 36 Economy Delight and 149 Economy Classic & Light, but the linked diagram visibly marks only 24 Delight seats (outboard A/C/H/K in rows 51-56). Per the explicit-count tie-break, the numeric 36/149 split wins. The 12 centre seats 51D/E/F/G through 53D/E/F/G are the narrowest contiguous extension of the published block that reconciles the explicit count; each carries seatTypeInferred:true and the source caveat records that the diagram does not identify those individual seats. Hence layoutProvenance is mixed. Bassinet/no-underseat-storage, nearest-seat galley/lavatory adjacency, cold-by-door and extra-legroom ratings are structural interpretations of the published schematic; exact exit-row pitch and recline are unpublished. Window alignment remains unknown on window positions and no_window_seat elsewhere: the schematic does not prove window-to-seat alignment and the repository has no A330-300 engineering window grid, so aircraft.windowGridType is intentionally omitted. Published 'up to' pitch/width/recline figures are encoded approximate where supported by the schema. No screen size, hardware model, power connector or wing-row range is asserted.
