Aer Lingus Airbus A330-200 (A330-200, 263 seats)

263 seats: 12 good, 16 mixed, 14 to avoid

Best seats

  • Rows 3 and 5, seat A (Business): solo seat on the window side of its pod, with the side table between you and the aisle: the most private kind of Business seat on this map.
  • Rows 3 and 5, seat 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.
  • Rows 11 and 29, seats A, C, H and K (Economy): exit row by the door, sold as an Extra Legroom seat: open floor in front, but people pass on their way to the lavatories and galley. No children under 14 or people with reduced mobility.

Seats to avoid

  • Row 6, seats D and G (Business): next to what is likely a galley: Aer Lingus draws an unlabelled box here
  • Row 26, seats D, E, F and G (Economy): backs onto the lavatories or galley Aer Lingus draws behind this row: recline is likely limited, and the queue forms beside you.
  • Row 28, seats A, C, H and K (Economy): backs onto the lavatories or galley Aer Lingus draws behind this row: recline is likely limited, and the queue forms beside you.
  • Rows 39–42, seat E (Economy): middle of the three centre seats where the cabin narrows: a neighbour on each side and no aisle of your own.
