Aer Lingus Airbus A321LR (A321neo, 184 seats)

184 seats: 22 good, 6 mixed, 12 to avoid

Best seats

  • Rows 3 and 5, seats A and K (Business): solo seat set in the middle of its pod, with a side table on each side and no neighbour: one of the most private Business seats on this map.
  • Row 7, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): bulkhead row sold as an Extra Legroom seat: nobody in front of you, right behind the Business cabin.
  • Rows 14–15, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): overwing exit row, sold as an Extra Legroom seat: more room for your legs. Aer Lingus doesn't seat children under 14 or people with reduced mobility in exit rows.

Seats to avoid

  • Row 13, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): in front of an overwing exit row, so recline is likely limited
  • Row 34, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): last row of the cabin, with lavatories or a galley drawn right behind it: recline is likely limited and there is traffic and noise.
