184 seats: 22 good, 6 mixed, 12 to avoid

Rows 3 and 5, seats A and K (Business): solo seat set in the middle of its pod, with a side table on each side and no neighbour: one of the most private Business seats on this map.
Row 7, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): bulkhead row sold as an Extra Legroom seat: nobody in front of you, right behind the Business cabin.
Rows 14–15, 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.

Row 13, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): in front of an overwing exit row, so recline is likely limited
Row 34, 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.

197 seats: 32 good, 8 mixed, 6 to avoid

Row 34, seat A (Economy): last left-side row, in front of two lavatories.
Row 34, seats B and C (Economy): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
Row 35, seats D, E and F (Economy): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
