- 317 seats as drawn
- 30 Business, 287 Economy
Drawn from per-seat coordinate data and validated seat-by-seat against Aer Lingus's published cabin totals. The map cannot render unless its seat-by-seat count reproduces the published totals exactly (30J + 287Y = 317 on this aircraft). Per-seat notes are rewritten into plain-language warnings for row selection.
