136 seats: 9 good, 14 mixed, 12 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 1, seat A (Falcon Gold): front Falcon Gold seat at the window.

- Row 8, seat A (Economy): first Economy row, behind the Falcon Gold cabin, with no one in front.
- Row 12, seats A, B, D, E and F (Economy): exit row with extra legroom
Seats to avoid
- Row 10, seats A, B, D, E and F (Economy): in front of an exit row, so recline is likely limited

- Row 28, seats B, C, D, E and F (Economy): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
Vueling Airbus A320neo (186 seats)
186 seats: 26 good, 10 mixed, 12 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 1, seats A, C, D and F (Space One): space One, the front row: about 20% more room than a standard seat by Vueling's figures, nobody in front and first off the plane. The front lavatory and galley are just ahead.
- Rows 2–4, seats A, C, D and F (Space Plus): space Plus: one of the extra-room rows 2 to 4 Vueling sells near the front, with priority boarding and a quick exit.
- Rows 2–4, seats B and E (Space Plus): space Plus: Vueling's extra-room rows 2 to 4
- Row 14, seats A and F (Economy): second overwing exit row: extra legroom, a window, and seats that should recline; you must be able to help in an emergency.
Seats to avoid
- Row 11, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): row in front of the overwing exits: recline is likely limited.
- Row 32, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): last row, against the rear lavatory and galley: likely limited recline, galley noise and the queue beside you.
