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.

I have a few flights booked in Club Europe and can only select from row two onwards. Does that mean that row one is reserved for golds? On one recent flight there was no row 1D and F. They started from the row 2 so to give me the best chance of legroom I have booked D and F in row two.

Normally row 1 is for Golds until the flight gets taken over to FLY, so non Golds would only see row 2 and beyond. G-GAT aircraft don't have a 1D or 1F due to the layout of the forward galley (whereas it's up against door 1L on the port side). However depending on when the flight is, there is a huge chance the equipment could change many times over so I wouldn't take much for granted if the flight is some way off.
I guess the G-GAT metal must be old, as flight crew commented on the age and noise.

Hi I've had a scan of this thread and I think I already know the answer to my question but would value some experienced advice.
I have an upcoming flight in CE on a BA A32N. The cabin is almostly completely full and the only two seats together are either Row 10 or Row 11. I can reserve both for free although for non-status Row 11 would cost more than Row 10 as it's an exit row.
As far as I understand, both Row 10 and 11 won't recline, but row 11 has more leg room. Therefore I should choose row 11 > 10. Unless there are any other considerations I should know about?
Thanks

If all of row 10 is empty then the curtain might move forward by one row and you'd be moved forward with it. Otherwise legroom is the deciding factor and I'd go for it. If service is done front to back you might not get your first choice of meal, but then that's true of row 10 as well.

Worst plane I have ever flown
Flying BA LHR to Mykonos which is a 4 hour flight. Flying on a BA A320 and the seats are so tiny and thin and there is no legroom, no headrest and the seats don’t recline. The armrest are only short. This would be okay for a 1 hour flight but for a 4 hour price this is just insane, especially where the cheapest tickets were sold for £250+. Just another reason why I hate BA and will try my hardest not to fly them in the future.

Question about Exit Row 12 on A320
It's been a while since I've flown the A320 in the economy cabin. Can anyone clarify the following:
1 - do the seats in exit row 12 recline normally?
2 - more importantly, are the overhead bins of regular size, and is there a risk that they may be reserved for equipment or crew luggage?

My favorite economy seat
It should recline if its the 2nd row of the two exit rows. It will be a normal seat
The seat in front of you is fixed
Unless it's row 12 and 13 which are the exit rows and then row 11 and 12 will be fixed
