Gulf Air Airbus A321neo (166 seats)
166 seats: 9 good, 14 mixed, 12 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 1, seat A (Falcon Gold): front Falcon Gold flat bed at the window.
- Row 4, seat D (Falcon Gold): falcon Gold flat bed at the back of the small cabin, away from the front galley and toilet.
- Row 8, seat A (Economy): first Economy row, behind the Falcon Gold cabin, with no one in front.
- Row 16, seats A, B, D, E and F (Economy): exit row with extra legroom
Seats to avoid
- Row 14, seats A, B, D, E and F (Economy): in front of an exit row, so recline is likely limited
- Row 14, seat C (Economy): in front of the overwing exits, so recline is likely limited.
- Row 33, seat A (Economy): last row, against the rear toilets.
- Row 33, seats B, C, D and E (Economy): next to a lavatory, with queues, noise and flushing
Vueling Airbus A321neo (236 seats)
235 seats: 30 good, 16 mixed, 12 to avoid
Best seats
- Row 1, seats A, C, D and F (Space One): space One, the front row: about 20% more room than a standard seat by Vueling's figures, nobody in front and first off the plane. The front lavatory and galley are just ahead.
- Rows 2–4, seats A, C, D and F (Space Plus): space Plus: one of the extra-room rows 2 to 4 Vueling sells near the front, with priority boarding and a quick exit.
- Rows 2–4, seats B and E (Space Plus): space Plus: Vueling's extra-room rows 2 to 4
- Row 20, seats A and F (Economy): second overwing exit row: extra legroom and a window; you must be able to help in an emergency.
Seats to avoid
- Row 18, seats A, B, C, D, E and F (Economy): row in front of the overwing exits: recline is likely limited.
- Row 40, seats D, E and F (Economy): in front of the rear galley Vueling draws beside row 41: galley noise and light, and likely limited recline.
- Row 41, seats A, B and C (Economy): last row, with the galley beside it and the lavatory behind: likely limited recline and the busiest spot in the cabin.
