Seats to avoid
Seat | Cabin | Why |
|---|---|---|
Row 40 | Economy | Last row with narrower seats, no windows, high lavatory traffic noise |
Row 17 | Economy | Restricted seat recline due to emergency exit door directly ahead |
Row 28 | Economy | Restricted recline as row 29 is emergency exit with limited seat movement |
Rows 31-40 | Economy | Back of aircraft with reduced pitch (28 inches) and increased engine noise |
Does the A321neo have extra legroom seats?
Yes, rows 18-19 (emergency exit rows) and row 29 offer extra legroom with 35 inch pitch compared to standard 31 inch pitch elsewhere. These seats typically cost extra but vary by booking class.
Can I recline my seat on the A321neo?
Most seats recline, but rows 17 and 28 have restricted recline due to their proximity to emergency exits. Check your seat assignment before booking if recline is important to you.
What's the best seat for families with children?
Rows 18-19 or row 29 are ideal as the extra legroom helps with young children. Avoid rows 31-40 as they have reduced pitch and higher noise levels from engines. Bulkhead seats (row 1, row 18-19) may have specific baby bassinet availability depending on aircraft configuration.
Are there any seats with better window views?
Window seats (A and F) throughout the aircraft offer views, but rows 18-19 at the wing provide over-wing views which some prefer. Avoid row 40 entirely as windows there are less optimal.
How wide are the seats on the A321neo?
All economy seats are 17.7 inches wide, making the A321neo relatively narrow compared to widebody aircraft. The 3-3 configuration means middle seats (B/D) are less desirable due to limited personal space.
Is there Wi-Fi on easyJet's A321neo?
Wi-Fi availability depends on the specific aircraft retrofit and easyJet's current offerings. Check your booking confirmation or contact easyJet directly for connectivity information on your flight.
