Current fleet page, figures as at 24 June 2026: 74 Boeing 737-800s with 176- or 182-seat capacity.
The page gives a combined 74-aircraft 737-800 fleet count but does not split airframes between the 176- and 182-seat configurations.

Official common reconfigured 737-8/737-800 map: Business rows 1-2 (2-2); Economy rows 3-31 (3-3); Economy X rows 3-4 and 14-15; Preferred rows 5-13; exits at rows 14-15; forward and rear service monuments.
This official asset is explicitly shared by the reconfigured 737-8 and 737-800; the current fleet page serves the same 182-seat row grid for both types.

Economy X is a paid Economy product with 34-39 inch pitch at the front or over-wing exits; Preferred seats are paid forward locations with no additional legroom.
The FAQ's 737-800 Preferred Zone row examples are indicative and do not cover every current map; the configuration-specific airline map controls zone rows here.

The 737 refurbishment program is standardising 737-800 and 737-8 capacity at 182 seats; 79 aircraft had refreshed interiors at 31 December 2025, with in-seat power for every guest part of the program.
Program status is as at 31 December 2025; the 24 June 2026 fleet page is used for the newer current capacities and type counts.

CURRENT SCOPE: Virgin Australia's 24 June 2026 fleet page lists 182 seats as one of two current 737-800 capacities. The interim report identifies this as the standardised refurbishment target, so it is retrofit_target linked from va-738-176. The earlier 170-seat capacity is absent from the current page and is not modelled. PUBLISHED: the official Virgin Australia map supplies every displayed row, seat, cabin boundary, Economy X/Preferred zone, exit, lavatory and galley position. Business has 38 in pitch; Economy X has 34-39 in pitch; Preferred seating has no extra legroom. MODELLING: Economy X remains a zone within the physical Economy cabin but resolves to extra_legroom_economy for the computed cabinSummary. Ratings and the limited-recline cautions for the row immediately ahead of the over-wing exits and the last row are structural inferences, not airline-published seat warnings. Bulkhead storage/tray flags are likewise inferred from the published monument geometry. No unpublished ordinary-Economy pitch, width, or recline number is encoded. WINDOW ALIGNMENT: the exact variant grid is bound; scripts/window-alignment.js is run after generation and only tool-applied high-confidence structural blanks are accepted, while all other window positions remain unknown.
