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.

Saudia Airbus A330-300 (Configuration 33D, 284 seats)

284 seats: 5 good, 22 mixed, 17 to avoid

Best seats

  • Row 15, seat A (Business Class): front row of Business by the window, with nobody in front.
  • Row 18, seat A (Business Class): business window seat in the middle of the cabin, away from the galleys at either end.
  • Row 30, seat A (Guest Class): first Guest Class row, drawn as extra legroom.
  • Row 47, seat A (Guest Class): exit seat behind the mid-cabin doors, as Saudia colours it.

Seats to avoid

  • Row 20, seats A, C, J and L (Business Class): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
  • Row 20, seat D (Business Class): next to a galley, with light and noise during service
  • Row 45, seat A (Guest Class): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
  • Row 45, seat C (Guest Class): backs onto the left-hand mid-cabin toilet, so recline is likely limited.
