271 seats: 16 good, 14 mixed, 12 to avoid

Rows 3 and 5, seat A (Business): solo seat on the window side of its pod, with the side table between you and the aisle: the most private kind of Business seat on this map.
Rows 3 and 5, seat 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 11, seats A and C (Economy): exit row by the door, sold as an Extra Legroom seat: open floor in front, but people pass on their way to the lavatories and galley. No children under 14 or people with reduced mobility.
Row 12, seat D (Economy): no seat in front: Aer Lingus's map has no seat 11D, so there is more room for your legs.

Row 6, seats D and G (Business): next to what is likely a galley: Aer Lingus draws an unlabelled box here
Row 29, seats A, C, H and K (Economy): backs onto the lavatories or galley Aer Lingus draws behind this row: recline is likely limited, and the queue forms beside you.
Rows 40–43, seat E (Economy): middle of the three centre seats where the cabin narrows: a neighbour on each side and no aisle of your own.
Row 42, seats H and K (Economy): backs onto the lavatories or galley Aer Lingus draws behind this row: recline is likely limited, and the queue forms beside you.

290 seats: 22 good, 13 mixed, 11 to avoid

Rows 2 and 4, seats A and L (Business): window-side seat in Iberia's staggered Business cabin: set against the window with the aisle further away, the most private kind of seat here.
Row 3, seats E and G (Business): one of the two centre seats drawn side by side in this row: the best pair for two people travelling together.
Row 21, seats A, C, J and L (Economy): exit row on Iberia's plan, with open floor in front at the door: lots of legroom, though people pass through to the door and lavatories.
Row 23, seat D (Economy): no seat in front: Iberia's plan has no seat 22D, so there is more room for your legs.

Row 40, seats A, C, D, E, G, H, J and L (Economy): row 40 backs onto the lavatories Iberia draws behind it mid-cabin: queues beside you and likely limited recline.
Row 56, seats D, E and H (Economy): last row of Economy, with galleys drawn right behind it: expect queues and galley noise.
