Aer Lingus Airbus A320neo (A320neo, 184 seats)
184 seats: 16 good, 3 mixed, 9 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 31, seats A, B and C (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.
