Airbus A321
Hi,

I've booked a flight from LHR-MAN and its scheduled to be operated by an A321. Looking at the seat map in MMB, it shows 35 rows instead of 33 rows and the exits do not match SeatGuru or BA seat maps - any ideas why? And will I risk not getting my window exit seat that I've chosen?

Thanks,

M

Probably one of the newly squished cabins.

When is your flight? None of the A321's have been enhanced yet.

Can't see how they'd know you'd get one of these enhanced aircraft this soon on, unless they're planning on getting them all enhanced before that time.

Pretty sure the A321s are only going to be worked on from January?

I believe that all the 320s and 321s are planned to be completed by Christmas and then the 319 will start in the New Year.

Indeed they are.

All the A320's will be complete by mid-November and all A321's by mid December.

A319's start in January and are expected to be finished by the end of May.

My goodness, it's a pity they didn't refit first as quickly!
