About this layout
Identify this configurationMatch it to your Air New Zealand booking ↓
Match these clues against the seat selector in your airline booking or manage-booking screen. Aircraft names alone are not enough because one airline can fly several cabin layouts of the same type.
- Configuration label: 171Y
- 171 seats total
- Cabin split: 171Y
- Seat selector spans rows 1–29
- Economy: 3-3 across rows 1, 2–29
If the total, cabin split, row numbers, or seats abreast do not match, return to the Air New Zealand configuration list instead of relying on this map.

The seat grid and cabin totals pass FlightQ's internal coordinate and arithmetic checks; a public source link is not currently available. The map cannot render unless its seat-by-seat count reproduces the published totals exactly (171 on this aircraft). Per-seat notes are rewritten into plain-language warnings for row selection.
