Hi All
Flying to/from LGW on Monday and both flights scheduled to be on the G-DBC* range of A319's. Quick question. What seats do the LGW A319's have?
Many thanks
Safe & Happy Travels

They have BMI seats that were recovered in a BA colour of leather. So in club the armrests move inwards and a table flips down.

We flew back from SVQ on G-GATN this week in 2D,2F which were very comfortable but I couldn't see how many rows were in the cabin altogether. What was very noticeable was how awful 1C would have been during boarding, though 1A would have been OK.
On the way out to SVQ earlier in the week though, a LHR A320 had been substituted following disruption at LGW and I think that aircraft (G-EUYA) was still in use on the route later in the week, so last minute equipment changes always seem possible. We had again reserved 2D,2F on that flight but managed to get moved to 1D,1F.

They are not like the convertible seats as they are fixed with. As has been said a centre table flips down from inside the middle seat so you do have a centre console.

I agree with this, the ex BMIs are the worst of all worlds in my book, along with the notorious DeltaKilo with no window at 1F. I just wish they would fit in the new cabins there. The ex BMIs also don't have the magazine /iPad rack up top - the easiest way to spot them - so the knee area is compromised.

In 1C domestic and didn't like it.... LGW
Travelled on the redesigned Gatwick A320 and bagged 1C domestic.
Unfortunately this plane didn't have the cupboard at the front which resulted in no locker space above head and getting hit by a lot of bags with passengers boarding.
Pleasant enough journey; but wouldn't like to be on this during school holidays or a busy period.
