Weird seat map
Evening all. Traveling next month on a service operated by A321 according to ba.com. The seat map is very strange:
What config is this, and have I picked the right exit row seats for maximum legroom?
TIA
OB

Is it possibly this:

and the seat map in MMB doesn’t quite match Aerolopa/reality on board? I’m assuming it’s a glitch that leads to two C seats in row 9.

It's a well known bug on CE stretching down into A321 to the emergency exits and the crew seat. It will show correctly at T-72 hours. Those seats do have good leg room, but if the curtain goes forward then you'll have to select the seats then available. Aerolopa is the best place for seat plans.

This is a A321 CEO config where Club stretches back beyond the doors in Row 10.
Nothing odd about it, everything is quite normal.

Row 10 is perfect for extra leg room, however the A/C side doesn't have a crew jump seat looking straight back to you unlike the D/F side.

Why is Seatguru coming up today? Is it high on Google? It's a moribund website, which was last updated 8 years ago, and even then wasn't accurate for BA. That's the old midhaul fleet, long since gone, and even before ithey took out the midhaul it has been updated since that design.

Appreciate you’ve mentioned you’re looking for legroom, but be wary of the service in a large Club Europe cabin. If you’re in the last row, don’t be surprised if your first choice of meal has run out and possibly fewer top ups. Especially if it’s a shorter flight.

I’m sure you are aware, but for a bit of light hearted musing, If one types the word seat as part of the search on Google then it no doubt returns SeatGuru as the first result, so I’d suggest that’s the first place users turn to. If one doesn’t know much or like most users who won’t bother scrolling, unless the first result doesn’t provide what you’re searching for.
