Saudia Airbus A321-200 (Configuration 321, 165 seats)

165 seats: 11 good, 6 mixed, 11 to avoid

Best seats

  • Row 1, seat A (Business Class): front row of Business by the window, with nobody in front.
  • Row 3, seat C (Business Class): business aisle seat in the middle of the cabin.
  • Row 30, seat C (Guest Class): exit seat right behind Business, as Saudia colours it.
  • Row 31, seat A (Guest Class): row 30 has no window seat, so this window seat likely has open space in front.

Seats to avoid

  • Row 42, seats A, B, J and K (Guest Class): in front of an exit row, so recline is likely limited
  • Row 42, seat C (Guest Class): in front of the mid-cabin exit row, so recline is likely limited.
  • Row 54, seat A (Guest Class): last row, against the rear toilets; recline is likely limited.
  • Row 54, seats B, C, J, K and L (Guest Class): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
