Been looking at some intra-Asia travel, and going over a ton of CZ and MU seat maps. Be happy AC didn't lease the 1-row, 4J config.
Thanks to this thread I realized my wife and kiddos YVR - YEG flight is the new config. I changed the seats so that bambino jr is now in 1A all the way from ICN.
Here is something weird, I pieced together the entire cabin on the new A320. There is a ghost row "zero", and if you actually look at the app rendition (during preview, not selection), it kind of shows the contours of the phantom seats.
Also, there are 6 Y rows before the two exit rows. There are 5 Y rows on the current AC A320, and I think they may have more legroom (preferred). Assuming the exits are in the same place on all a320s, it makes no sense for there to be only 2 rows of J. Unless they go lie-flat or close. If they aren't keeping the CZ configuration, I can't see why they'd only have 8J.
Lastly, one of the CZ aircraft, C-FCUG, flew from MLB to YUL on April 2, and back on April 6.

Edir to add the seat details for both old and new A320. No power or IFE?
