BA Airbus 320 (32A)

Can anyone tell me whether or not the aisle side armrests in coach on this aircraft can be raised? Thank you so much!

Hi... this is one of those questions which I feel I must know the answer to as I fly twice a week on these planes at the moment! But now I think I am not 100% sure.

The armrests between the seats (as long as not Row 1 / Exit row) can be raised but I think that the aisle armrests cannot be raised.

Yes, there is a.small lever catch under the arm rest at the join, which is useful for wheelchair passengers but requires considerable dexterity. It's not a good idea to raise it since you risk a bosh from the BOB trolley

They can on any aircraft. Reach underneath the armrest and to the rear. You should be able to locate a button/lever which, when pressed/pulled, will allow you to raise the armrest.

you can raise it but it has to be down for take off, landing and taxi.
