Hey guys,
Like everyone else I'm sure, I keep seeing online that the L-049 had a capability to carry 60-84 passengers. While most people know that these sources are confusing the stats for the L-749 or L-1079, some might still be unsure which information is correct (even wikipedia has it mislabeled).
So, I was able to find an article from a reputable source that actually includes a seating diagram of the L-049 from BOAC Airlines. A2A has it correct, the seating was 10 rows of 4 seats, and then 3 in the back. It's definitely worth a read and has some interesting information.

Re: L-049 max passengers
Hi.
A2A have a max 44 pax your seating would suggest 43 seats , but dont get hung up on this , the reasons are simple , depending on airline requirements on internal fit would cause more or less seats to be fitted , depending on bunk beds / first class / second class / galleys ectra , seat spacing ie leg room , so A2A probably picked the base seating of original aircraft as per howard hughes requirements for his airline.

Yes, context is everything here.
You need to forget modern air transport and go back to a time when every airline had there own way from the aircraft layouts and fitting to checklists. The era had not yet standardised many things that are now taken for granted in todays world of civil aviation.
thanks,
