Iberia Airbus A330-300 (A330-300, 292 seats)

292 seats: 33 good, 19 mixed, 15 to avoid

Best seats

  • Rows 2, 4 and 6, 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 (seat letters likely).
  • Rows 3, 5 and 7, 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 (seat letters likely).
  • Row 11, seats A, C, D, E, H, J and L (Premium 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 (seat letters likely).
  • Row 22, seat D (Economy): no seat in front: Iberia's plan has no seat 21D, so there is more room for your legs (seat letters likely).

Seats to avoid

  • Row 35, seats A, C, D, E, G, H, J and L (Economy): row 35 backs onto the lavatories Iberia draws behind it mid-cabin: queues beside you and likely limited recline (seat letters likely).
  • Row 52, seats A, C, D, E, H, J and L (Economy): last row of Economy, with galleys and lavatories drawn right behind it: expect queues and galley noise (seat letters likely).
