Yes that's right, rows 7-9 blocked. exit rows are 10 & 11. I've currently got them in 11A & B.

I'm very much obliged for your help. The flight number is BA 2674 on 6th Sept.

Thanks again.

Hi,

It looks like a standard old-config BA A320. 11E&F would be a bit better as the B seat is rather uncomfortable due to the conversion mechanism.

You could move up to 07AC midday 3 days before departure however do check very regularly once you do that in case the curtain moves forwards/backwards.

These things to change very regularly especially at LGW so again check regularly and even more from midday 3 days before departure to see which aircraft will operate the flight. But the same logic prevails, either the front 2-seater (if the aircraft that will operate the flight is configured like that) or the 2nd exit row, E&F seats.

What rows are the exit seats in euro traveller on the a320 in old/new configs please? Do they still offer extra leg room/recline in the new config? Going to purchase the seats for a HEL flight in Dec.

There are 6 combinations out there, it's either row 10 or 11. There's a case for going for 11 because if the actual exit row turns out to be 10 you will still be benefiting from the old style distance between seats, though they may be able to recline into you. The new config gives slightly more leg room (there isn't much on the old) and same recline / non recline pattern as the older style seating. The amount of recline is less, however. There again it may get swapped for a 319 or 321, at which points all bets are off. You should get a refund if it doesn't work out. Note that on the A320, unlike 319 and 321 (in particular) the exit row is only moderately wider than normal seating, albeit without a reclining seat in front.

Avoid row 10 unless being strapped bolt upright into a rock hard seat stirs your soul. It's a massive comfort concession for an extra inch of leg room.

Mmb is showing 11 & 12 as exit rows? What config us that?

Prospero

Most likely the new configuration but beware the operating flight can easily switch to the old configuration after check-in opens.

Do both 11 & 12 in the new config have extra leg room & recline? I'm thinking going with 11 and it's an exit in both configs...

Row 11 is not a true exit row in the old config, but you get the former CE 34 inch pitch, provided the aircraft has a row 13, albeit with the bulkier seats. On some BMI aircraft I don't think there is a recline, it is still a cramped seat; on the BA aircraft it does recline. In the new config it is the exit row, it does give a little more space and the seat reclines slightly. I reiterate that it's only an inch or two, and if you get an A319 swap you're going to be worse off in that row.

Hmmm how is row 11 not a true exit row on the old config? If by old config we mean the garden variety, soon to be extinct CY162 convertible.

Has anyone had experience with being in row 12 as an exit row, window seat?

If so, did you get any additional leg room.

Please advise.

Thank you

Yes, there is extra legroom in all the exit rows.

Mary Louise

Thank you,

but this is the new configuration and wanted to make sure that row 12 is indeed an exit row.

Yes, on a newly reconfigured 320 aircraft, 12 is an exit row and it has extra legroom.

Be aware that the A320's are still being refitted, so depending on when your flight is there is still a chance that it could be swapped with a non-refitted A320 (or indeed a different aircraft type) and so you would lose your exit row.
