Frontier Airlines Airbus A321-200 (230 seats)
230 seats: 20 good, 14 mixed, 6 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 41, 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.
Gulf Air Airbus A321-200 (169 seats)
169 seats: 15 good, 8 mixed, 14 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 1, seat A (Falcon Gold): one of only eight Falcon Gold flat beds, in the front row.
- Row 2, seat D (Falcon Gold): second Falcon Gold row, away from the front galley and toilet.
- Row 8, seat A (Economy): first Economy row, behind the partition, with no one in front.
- Row 12, seat A (Economy): exit row behind the second doors, with open floor in front.
Seats to avoid
- Row 11, seat B (Economy): row 11 has no window seat, and it sits in front of the doors, so recline is likely limited.
- Row 11, seats C, D and E (Economy): in front of an exit row, so recline is likely limited
- Row 25, seats B, D and E (Economy): in front of an exit row, so recline is likely limited
- Row 25, seat C (Economy): in front of the third doors, so recline is likely limited.
