Hawaiian Airlines Airbus A321neo (189 seats)
189 seats: 49 good, 14 mixed, 15 to avoid
Best seats
- Rows 2–4, seats A, C, D and F (First Class): first Class recliner with 39-inch pitch (Hawaiian's figure), away from the front galley and lavatory.
- Row 11, seats A, C, G and J (Premium Class): premium Class front row behind First Class: 35-inch pitch, nobody in front, though bags go overhead.
- Rows 12 and 14, seats A, C, G and J (Premium Class): premium Class window or aisle seat with 35-inch pitch, near the front for a quick exit.
- Rows 12, 14 and 34–35, seats B and H (Premium Class): premium Class: more pitch than the Main Cabin
Seats to avoid
- Row 15, seats A, B, C, G, H and J (Main Cabin): main Cabin row between Premium Class rows, in front of the exit row: recline is likely limited (Hawaiian's drawing doesn't say) and there is no extra legroom.
- Row 27, seats A, B, C, G, H and J (Main Cabin): last row of the forward Main Cabin, against the lavatories Hawaiian draws on both sides behind it: recline is likely limited and the queue forms by your seat.
- Row 45, seats G, H and J (Main Cabin): last row on the right, against the rear lavatory Hawaiian draws behind it: recline is likely limited and the queue forms by your seat.
Lufthansa Airbus A321neo (215 seats)
215 seats: 12 good, 13 mixed, 18 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 19, seat A (Economy Class): second overwing exit row: more legroom as marked, and the seat can recline.
- Rows 19 and 29, seats B, C, D and E (Economy Class): exit row with extra legroom
- Row 19, seat F (Economy Class): second overwing exit row with more legroom.
- Row 29, seat A (Economy Class): exit row by the rear overwing door, marked with more legroom.
Seats to avoid
- Row 16, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy Class): in front of an exit row, so recline is likely limited
- Row 26, seats D and E (Economy Class): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
- Row 26, seat F (Economy Class): backs onto the mid-cabin lavatory: limited recline and foot traffic.
- Row 28, seats A, B and C (Economy Class): in front of an exit row, so recline is likely limited
