No window at seat 10A — Boeing routes the air-conditioning riser ducts up the left sidewall from the belly A/C packs to the ceiling distribution ducts, forward of the wing. The duct behind the sidewall panel displaces one left-side cabin window. Per Alaska fleet engineering this is standard on all 737 aircraft.

How this map was built

CURRENT SCOPE: Virgin Australia's 24 June 2026 fleet page lists the entire 19-aircraft 737-8 fleet at 182 seats and serves the 182-seat map. The earlier 178-seat delivery layout has been superseded and is not modelled as current. 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 No unpublished ordinary-Economy pitch, width, or recline number is encoded.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.
