- Configuration label: 58J / 557Y
- 615 seats total
- Cabin split: 58J · 557Y
- Seat selector spans rows 6–88
- Business Class: 2-4-2 across rows 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23

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 (58J + 557Y = 615 on this aircraft). Per-seat notes are rewritten into plain-language warnings for row selection.
