As others have stated, we will be adding a row of seats to bring our A320 aircraft to a 168 seat capacity. With this reconfiguration, the pitch in some rows will be reduced to 30 inches. There will not be any rows on these aircraft with less than 30 inches of pitch after this reconfiguration. This reconfiguration makes the A320 fleet consistent with our existing A318 and A319 aircraft that already have STANDARD seating rows at 30 to 31 inch pitch.
Also, to clarify previous posts, Ascent level EarlyReturns members and their companions booked in the same reservation will continue to have complimentary access to SELECT seats at the time of purchase. We introduced SELECT seats as a new benefit for Economy ticket holders to purchase access to these rows that were previously only available to Classic tickets and Ascent/Summit level EarlyReturns members. Pricing the SELECT seats also provides a clearer benefit for calculating the value of our Classic fare option.
Thanks,
