Air Canada Airbus A320-200 (320, 168 seats)

168 seats: 12 good, 10 mixed, 12 to avoid

Best seats

Rows 19–20, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy Class): exit row on Air Canada's table: extra legroom. You must be willing and able to help in an emergency, and bags go overhead for take-off and landing.

Seats to avoid

Row 18, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy Class): directly in front of an overwing exit row, so recline is likely limited or blocked.
Row 37, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy Class): last row of Economy Class, with lavatories or a galley behind it: recline is likely limited and there is traffic and noise.

Aer Lingus Airbus A320-200 (A320, 172 seats)

172 seats: 16 good, 0 mixed, 12 to avoid

Best seats

Row 1, seats A, C, D and F (AerSpace): aerSpace front-row seat: Aer Lingus keeps the middle seat beside you free (it is greyed out on the map), with private overhead storage on AerSpace fares.
Rows 12–13, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): overwing exit row, sold as an Extra Legroom seat: more room for your legs. Aer Lingus doesn't seat children under 14 or people with reduced mobility in exit rows.

Seats to avoid

Row 11, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): in front of an overwing exit row, so recline is likely limited
Row 29, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): last row of the cabin, with lavatories or a galley drawn right behind it: recline is likely limited and there is traffic and noise.
