Choosing the best seat on an Airbus A320 depends on what you value most—legroom, privacy, or a quiet cabin.
Legroom‑focused seats
- Exit‑row seats, especially the second exit row, provide the most legroom and the advantage that the seat in front cannot recline, preventing it from encroaching on your space.
- On British Airways A320s, the exit rows (rows 11 & 12) were highlighted as “heaven” with considerably more legroom than any other row.
- Aer Lingus’ first‑row bulkhead seats also offer noticeably more legroom than the rest of the cabin, making them a good choice for extra space.
- Hong Kong Airlines’ A320 acquired from StarFlyer features a 34‑inch seat pitch, the widest legroom reported for an A320 in the sources.
Privacy and convenience
- Bulkhead seats such as seat 1C on British Airways often have a blocked adjacent seat and no recline‑in‑the‑row issue, adding privacy and a clear workspace.
- Seats in the first row (e.g., AerSpace seats on Aer Lingus) give a direct line of sight to the crew and reduced foot‑traffic from the lavatory queue.
General tip
- If you prefer easy access and quick de‑planing, an aisle seat near the front of the aircraft is a reliable all‑round choice.

The Alviator Hong Kong Airlines’ Messy Fleet: 28″ or 34″ Seat Pitch?
While airlines strive to have fleet consistency, it’s quite normal for airlines not to hold too tightly to this, and to have anomalies on their fleet as they take on aircraft from other airlines. For example, Turkish Airlines operates A350s that have interiors meant for Aeroflot, and separately have their own A350s with a different cabin product. Qatar Airways has 777s with QSuites, though they also inherited some 777s from Cathay Pacific, and kept Cathay Pacific’s interiors. This happens more often with narrowbodies, given that passengers care less about product consistency when it comes to flying shorthaul (especially in economy).
One Mile at a Time Review: Aer Lingus AerSpace Airbus A320 (DUB-MAD)
For the first segment of the return portion of my trip across the Atlantic on the Airbus A321XLR, I flew Aer Lingus’ Airbus A320 AerSpace on the 2hr5min flight from Dublin (DUB) to Madrid (MAD). AerSpace is Aer Lingus’ premium product on short haul flights, but it’s not quite business class. Essentially, you get lounge access, priority boarding, a seat in the first row with a blocked middle (unless you’re on an A321LR/XLR between transatlantic turns), a free drink and snack, etc. However, it’s not actually a separate cabin, and a step down from business class. I’m happy
Altitude Yes The Best And Worst Seats To Choose On An Airplane
Seats can make all the difference when you’re flying. Each seat provides different pros and cons, whether that’s in first, business, or economy. This also means that some seats can have a much better experience compared to others, even in the same cabin class. Keep reading for my tips on choosing the best seat that maximizes your comfort. Depending on your fare class, you may have to pay a fee to choose and reserve a seat in advance. This can almost always avoided by booking a main cabin (regular economy) fare instead of a basic economy fare. I go
