- Rows 2–4, seats B and E (Space Plus): space Plus: Vueling's extra-room rows 2 to 4
- Row 20, seats A and F (Economy): second overwing exit row: extra legroom and a window; you must be able to help in an emergency.
Seats to avoid
- Row 18, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): row in front of the overwing exits: recline is likely limited.
- Row 40, seats D, E and F (Economy): in front of the rear galley Vueling draws beside row 41: galley noise and light, and likely limited recline.
- Row 41, seats A, B and C (Economy): last row, with the galley beside it and the lavatory behind: likely limited recline and the busiest spot in the cabin.
