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.
Wizz Air Airbus A320-200 (A320B, 186 seats, all Economy)
186 seats: 12 good, 6 mixed, 12 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 1, seats A and F (Economy): front Row window seat, tagged XL: more legroom and first off, but the front lavatory and galley area are right ahead, and no floor storage for takeoff and landing.
- Row 1, seats C and D (Economy): front Row aisle seat, tagged XL: more legroom and among the first off, Wizz Air says. People queue for the front lavatory beside you.
- Rows 12–13, seats A and F (Economy): exit row window seat, tagged XL: the most legroom in Economy. You must be over 16 and able to help in an emergency, and no infants here.
- Row 13, seats B, C, D and E (Economy): exit row with extra legroom
Seats to avoid
- Row 11, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): likely: right in front of an overwing exit row, so recline is probably limited or blocked. Wizz Air's map doesn't show it
- Row 31, seats A and F (Economy): last row window, against the rear lavatories: recline is likely limited, with queues and noise behind.
- Row 31, seats B and E (Economy): middle seat in the last row, against the rear lavatories: recline is likely limited and people queue beside you.
- Row 31, seats C and D (Economy): last row aisle, against the rear lavatories: people queue in the aisle beside you and recline is likely limited.
