Seating Queries: Club Europe
For all your questions (and answers) regarding the best, worst, noisest, quietest seats in Club Europe on the Airbus, 737, 757 and short-haul 767, plus Cityflyers planes (Embraer and Avro RJ).

I alternate between 1A and 2A - I know that the DEF side has a larger gap between seats, but I prefer being on the left hand side of the aircraft.

A quick question; does Row 2 have extra legroom on the 757? Pondering whether to swap 4A for 2D in CE (not worried about the window/aisle difference or the gap in between the seats).

However, 2D is the toilet attendant's seat. 2D is right next to the loo door, and you will get a full whiff of everything evry time someone goes in and out.
So, good seat, nice legroom, nice view, but smelly as s***.

In 2D you can stretch your legs forward into the aisle, as the bulkhead does not reach across all your seat area. The other advantage is unobstructed full of the (possibly good-looking) crewmember(s) seated at door 1L.

Club Europe LHR-FCO 767 or 320?
Planning a family vacation in Italy. Flying to Rome Club Europe ex LHR 3 x adults and 2 x children. Have choice of service operated by Airbus A320 or a 767. Any advice on the quality of Club seating/service on either aircraft type? From seat maps, A320 appears to offer more space than the 767 - is this right?

- Mostly in a poor state of repair - dodgy lighting/call bells, un-viewable TV screens, leaking/smelly toilets
- 2-3-2 configuration with the middle seat of 3 left unoccupied, leaving 2-2-2
- Very small chance of getting a longhaul configuration, with Club World seats
A320
- May be much newer than any 767
- 3-3 configuration with the left hand middle seat squished and the right hand middle seat left unoccupied, leaving 2-2
- Quieter
- Usually a smaller Club Europe cabin
Both aircraft offer the same leather convertible CE seating, in various states of (dis)repair across both the 767s and A320s.
I'd pick the A320.

The front toilet in a 767 CE is well forward of door 1L so any smelly effects (due to smelly PAX?) aren't so noticeable - if at all.
