The information contained in the opening post received an extensive update today

I have added cabin elevations to the wiki which show the relationship between seats and windows. Note, there are 25 seat rows on the port (ABC) side and 23 rows on the starboard (DEF) side. The rear port side arrangement is shown in the bottom right diagram. Other vital statistics such as knee room and window blank locations also included.

Quick q about an upcoming A319 flight in ET. Load is likely to be very light, with only 4 rows of CE. Rows 5-7 are X'd out, which is normal.

Row 10 has 10A occupied but all other seats free apart from 10D which is not available to me to sit in, but is shown as X'd out on EF rather than occupied. Is this seat normally blocked, and if so is it released closer to departure ?

For completeness the flight is a week away, so unlikely to be a broken seat (I assume).

Usually with blocking at that part of the aircraft it is whole rows typically immediately behind the curtain. I can't remember seeing a block of one seat in that row before. It may be unblocked in the future, but I am not sure mostly because I don't know why it would be blocked.

Was 10D blocked / occupied when you flew? Asking as similar on an upcoming flight I have ie 10D is blocked but not the rest of the row.

I have booked (and cancelled !) so many flight recently that I am not entirely sure whether I actually took this one. However, IIRC I did but a few days before departure they moved the curtain back past row 10 even though the flight was very lightly loaded, so I lost my row10 seat. If I have got the right flight, I was sat further back, but then on boarding my Gold card was spotted and I was asked if I wanted to move forward to an exit row as they had 2 completely empty exit rows and needed someone to sit on each side of each of the 2 rows. I ended with 9D-F to myself and Club catering, so it all worked out quite well in the end. If the plane you are on has 9 and 10 as exit rows I am pretty sure it was the flight to which my question related. They only sat one person in 10D-F, but that is no indication of anything.

One thing I did note was that 10D was where one of the cabin crew stood during boarding, so perhaps they keep it free for that reason ?

Can anyone confirm if the exit row armrests are movable (like the majority of the seats), or fixed in place with the tray table in the arm (like row 1)? Reason i ask is - being of a somewhat "chunkier" build, I find the seats with the fixed armrests somewhat restrictive, and given i've never been in an exit row with BA before, I wanted to ask those in the know.

The arm rests pivot up like the other seats. The tray table is attached to the seat back

Thanks :-).

Just booked my flight to Warsaw on an ex-bmi A319, is Row 12 any good? I want an on-wing seat.

Adding onto that, any chance of Wi-Fi?

I think all the shorthaul fleet has Wi-Fi now but it's not the cheapest system going. The "messenging" option is ok for Flyertalk and other text based websites.

Row 12 will be mid wing on both A319 types, but unless you are flying in the next week or two I would take the aircraft allocation as a place holder, As indeed is the flight itself.

I flew on one of these (G-EUPS) for the first time in a while on Sunday, and whilst on the ground in a very hot Croatia I was reminded that there are no air vents at row 9 (or row 6). Assuming this is to do with lack of space in the overhead panels along with the lights, oxygen masks, speakers and whatnot, why don't BA remove the now-unused video screens to free up the space (and avoid carrying around a lot of unused equipment every flight)?

Ex-bmi are being used out of LHR now as well, very worn cabin. Probably not long left until they leave the fleet

Maybe not as soon as we would like! According to the fleet thread G-DBCA/C have been repainted this year - these are ex-BMI. You would imagine there would be enough seats and cabin fittings from retired aircraft to swap into the designated survivors of the -DBCx fleet. I'm surprised the -GATx haven't been space-flex'd and had their seat counts increased to 180 or even 183CY. The plan was to replace these with 737s, but that plan has gone a bit quiet since BAEF became the most recent Gatwick solution. IAG have ordered more NEOs and fewer 737s than initially announced, so plans must have changed for some IAG opCo's.
