Best seats on AF A318 and AF A320 in Economy
I will be flying AF Eco TXL-CDG-MIA-CDG-TXL this autumn. I already reserved seats for the transatlantic flight.
I would like to know which the best seats in AF Eco on A318 and A320 are. I am 186cm tall so a little extra legroom would be great ;-)
Is there more legroom in the exit rows? How is the last row on the A320 with the 2-2 config?
I am, as usual, grateful for any advice :-)

I´m 189 myself , and I´ve been OK with the standard seats on the 318 as well as the 320. Not much room to spare, but it will do. But I think the exit row on the 318 is row 9.
But if you really want legroom, try to get the exit row 9 on an A321 on day . There must be at least 2m´s !!

Unless you're flying on (expensive) eco tickets (fully refundable in Y on transatlantic segments and in S on intra european segments, B code would work as well but is still exensive), you won't be able to catch the exit rows as they will be in the Tempo Challenge (middle) section of the aircraft. On A321, the first one might even "belong" to the business class section if they need 9 or 10 rows for business class (about 40 passengers). They adjust the position of the curtain depending on the load of the 3 classes (C, S and Tempo).

I'm 192 myself 
. I think there is a note in my personal file but that doesn't help...

Last year I sat in row 7 on the 318, even though I booked a highly discounted fare. The legroom was okay, but in an exit row I guess it would be better ;-)
I'll just have to wait and see what seat I get :-D

However row 10 is brilliant : more legroom and full recline, but no moveable
armrests.
I heard last row has limited recline
A320 : 2 exit doors this time, so avoid rows 10 and 11 for the same reasons as stated above. Row 12 is great, like row 10 in the A319
Don't know about the 318 nor 321.
