Does the cabin layout on the ATR 42-500 differ by airline?

Yes, significantly. Airlines configure the same airframe with completely different seat counts, classes and pitches — this page groups every configuration we've documented by airline so you can compare the real differences rather than assume one layout fits all.

Who makes the ATR 42-500, and what family is it part of?

ATR builds the ATR 42-500, part of the ATR 42 family — a 2570mm-wide fuselage that every operator's cabin layout has to fit within.

I flew this aircraft and the layout looked different — what do I do?

Tell us. Airlines retrofit cabins constantly and different registrations of the same type can carry different cabins. Email corrections@bestplaneseats.com with the airline, flight number, date and what you actually saw.
