I’m on an A321 in 11D. The seats are narrower because of the exit/tray table being inside the seat, but it’s fine for a 2-3 hour flight. If the flight was longer, I might opt for the bulkhead. Note that 11ABC have less legroom than 11DEF due to the way the seats are configured. Row 10 DE has a jump seat next to it that’s not indicated on the AA seat map.

As a plus, 11ABC/11DEF have two tray tables. Also, you can store bags under 11ABCDE but not 11F due to the jump seat (SeatGuru, which is less reliable nowadays, says you can’t store bags under the seat). My preference would probably be row 11 and then row 8 due to the proximity to the front of the aircraft and the amount of legroom. First class has the Oasis fake bulkhead on these aircraft too.

On the newer version of the A321, I see seats 10D, 10E don't have a third seat next to them. Is there a window for the person at 10E to look out of though? (I need to know for a claustrophobic person)

Thanks in advance!!

Here's a good site: https://www.aerolopa.com/aa-airbus-a321-intro

It seems the one with 10D/E shows no window. It appears to be the FA jumpseat?

“10F” would be the FA jump-seat.

If you're ok with exit row, 11DEF are the best. 11F has a good enough view of the window, but no under seat storage because of the F/A seat. 11A window is too far behind the shoulder to be considered anything useful.

I always have to watch out for this plane because so many MCE seats don't have windows. I've been disappointed with a windowless window seat more than once

9A and F are my choice seats on this to have underseat storage and have good windows. But, 11F is great if you can do without underseat, want a window, -and- the ability to get up and go to the restroom!

I was in 11D last week. Yes, what would otherwise be 10F is the FA jumpseat. 11D had quite a lot of legroom.

Because 10F is the FA jump-seat (rear facing), 10E is usually blocked for airport control. Therefore 10D is a good choice if you are a single passenger as their is a good chance 10E will be empty.

For leg room I would agree, but I would caution that the 11DEF seats are very narrow because the tray table is in the armrest.

And beware Row 12 "MCE" seats. Very narrow pitch and NOT worth of being called MCE. Do better AA.

I'm curious about what the recline situation is in Row 10 on this configuration. Ordinarily I would expect Row 10 to have no recline given the exit row behind, but some sources have suggested there is at least some (reduced) recline. Can anyone speak from experience here, and if so, is there any difference between the ABC side and the DE side?

I've flown in 11F on a relatively long flight (PHX-CUN) and was pretty happy with it. The FA was only in the seat for takeoff and landing so I was able to stretch out for the entire flight.

Usually seat width is my #1 consideration but that's due to shoulder space so the seat itself being narrower due to the tray table didn't bother me (my shoulder space is the same). I'm also not skinny by any stretch of the imagination, but I still fit in the seat just fine.

It's also worth pointing out that the narrowbody airbuses have wider seats than a 737, by about an inch. I find this to be a huge difference (again, it's all about shoulder space for me). I'm not sure how much width the tray table takes away but there still may be more space than someone is used to if they fly a lot of 737s.

Does row 17 on the neo have fixed armrests? Trying to decide the best MCE seat for both leg room and maximum seat width.

Prospero

These overwing exit seats have standard armrests which pivot upwards

Is row 24 on the A321K windowless? I'm guessing that there would be plenty of legroom given it is an emex row? Thanks
