Iberia Airbus A330-200 (A330-200, 290 seats)
290 seats: 22 good, 13 mixed, 11 to avoid
Best seats
- 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.
Seats to avoid
- 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.
