It still has the 2x2 configuration in the front exit row, but they show that as row 10 whereas places like Seatguru and others show it as row 9. There is no row 9 listed on their seat map. Same in the back. They show the rear exit row as row 26, where most sites online show it as row 24. Is that a new plane configuration or is that just a weird way of them showing the maps online?
I grabbed the 10b/10c as I'm traveling with my wife and the 2x2 is what we always try to grab.
Yes, this is a discussion thread about the new A320neo family aircraft. There is a dedicated thread for seating questions in the current fleet, so mods are kindly asked to move this discussion there.
Unless there has been some rather recent change, both 10 and 11 are emergency exit rows on the A321. There are only 2x2 seats in row 10 (no 10A/F). Pitch is huge and provides plenty of room to fully stretch your legs. Pitch in row 11 is not as generous, with the exception of the window seats (11A/11F) which provide even more legroom as there are no window seats in row 10. A downside of seats 10 B/C (apart of course from bags having to be stored overhead for taxi, takeoff and landing) is that one has to use the often flimsy tables stored in the armrest. There is moreover practically no window in that that row (save for a tiny elevated one). If you don't mind those things though 10B/C should be very fine for a couple.
I think there might be also an alternative configuration, but I can't be positive since my usual A3 routes rarely involve the A321. Fellow A3 flyers please correct me if I am wrong! The flight is anyway rather short so it shouldn't matter that much... Safe flights!
