MMB/Expertflyer Aircraft Codes:
320 = Airbus A320 without Sharklets
32A = Airbus A320 with Sharklets
32N = Airbus A320neo
Airbus A320 Seating Guide
The following elevation diagrams of the A320 CEO (type 32G) cabin show the relationship between seats and windows. Note, while the elevations show the arrangement of the DEF seats, the ABC side is effectively a mirror of what you can see here.
The LGW fleet also have a similar layout on the starboard (DEF) side forward of the overwing exits but on the LGW aircraft the row numbers start at 2. Other vital statistics are also included.
Here are the corresponding cabin elevations of the A320 NEO (type 32N). As with the CEO, the elevations show the arrangement of the DEF seats with the ABC side effectively a mirror of what you can see here.
See the first post in this thread for current seat maps, details, and aircraft codes BA use internally to distinguish the different configurations.

There are two simple things you need to remember.
- Row 4 is a standard CE row with 34" leg room
- SeatGuru is as much use as a chocolate teapot

For ex-bmi A320s, the 'special' rows are 1, 11, 12. CE and ET has the same legroom (which make ET rows 11 and 12 have more legroom than CE...)

Nothing special with row 4 at all... The only 'special' rows on A320s are rows 1, 10 and 11. You're lucky if you're in the front 13 rows as they have CE legroom.

Of course in reality the CE cabin can be a number of different configs, and these 'best' ET seats move accordingly.

A320 ACE-LGW tomorrow, seems to have 2 toilets just above 1AC on the seat map, from the maps on page 1 I can't see a map which has this configuration. Any one know which plane this might be?

The A320 only has one toilet in the forward galley. The A321 has two toilets forward, but those aren't based at LGW.

I thought as much as we flew out on G-MEDK, and all other A320's as you say only have one toilet. Viewing my seats on MMB states the A320 but I cannot see the aircraft type on the seat map.
Also, Club is row 1-8 and row 8 is showing as emergency exits seats over the wing, odd.

IME the OLCI page always shows Airbus A320 jet even though it's an A321. Presumably there will be an overnight switch at one of the airports served by both LGW and LHR? AMS, EDI, GLA, NCE come to mind. The aircraft would do LHR-xxx tonight, and xxx-LGW tomorrow, to save a positioning flight?

Hi
I'm flying with ba in October on an a320 going and a319 coming home and wanted some advice on choosing the best seats.
There's 6 of us in total but one is a nervous flyer and has recently done the ba flying with confidence course (which was great). I know they say the best seats for a nervous flyer are in the middle of the plane however we would also like good views.
On the flying with confidence course they were on row 6 which with the good views seemed to help however we're only flying euro traveller so that row isn't an option.
Any tips would be appreciated I know it's only a short flight (heathrow to faro) but for a nervous flyer it's still a long way.
Thanks

Welcome to FT and the BAEC board, dizzzy!
Closer to departure, you may find Row 6 opens up for selection, as CE cabins can be as small as 3 rows.
I would advise you to select seats as far forward as possible at present, and then keep an eye on the seat map right up until departure. The CE cabin becomes semi-fixed around 72 hours before departure, so definitely check back then.
Do note you'll have to pay to select seats before 24 hours before departure, unless you are on a flexible ticket or have oneworld status.

Hi
Thanks for the reply. Didn't realise that seats further forward might be bookable nearer the time, I suppose I never thought about it. I will definitely keep checking just in case.
As for the fee yes we do have to pay to reserve seats. It's £10pp each way so we feel for us that it's worth paying.
