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.
Frontier Airlines Airbus A320-200 (180 seats)
180 seats: 16 good, 10 mixed, 12 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 1, seats A and C (UpFront Plus): upFront Plus front row: extra legroom, the middle seat kept empty and nobody reclining into you, though the forward lavatory is just ahead on this side. Frontier offers no seatbelt extensions in row 1 and doesn't seat infants there.
- Row 1, seats D and F (UpFront Plus): upFront Plus front row: extra legroom, the middle seat kept empty and nobody reclining into you; the block ahead on this side is likely the galley. Frontier offers no seatbelt extensions in row 1 and doesn't seat infants there.
- Row 2, seats A, C, D and F (UpFront Plus): upFront Plus: extra legroom near the front, and Frontier guarantees the middle seat beside you stays empty.
- Row 3, seats A, C, D and F (Economy): premium row right behind UpFront Plus: extra legroom close to the front, without the UpFront Plus price.
Seats to avoid
- Row 11, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): row in front of the overwing exits: recline is likely limited (Frontier's map doesn't say), with no exit-row legroom of its own.
- Row 30, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): last row of the aircraft, right against the rear lavatories: recline is likely limited and the lavatory queue forms by your seat.
