Aer Lingus Airbus A330-300 (A330-305, 307 seats)
307 seats: 18 good, 28 mixed, 11 to avoid
Best seats
- Rows 1–5, seats D and G (Business): one of the centre pair, each with its own aisle: good for two travelling together, with nobody to step over.
- Rows 9 and 30, 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 28, 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.
- Rows 42–44, seat E (Economy): middle of the three centre seats where the cabin narrows: a neighbour on each side and no aisle of your own.
- Row 44, seats A, C, H and K (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.
