Best Seats - All Core A321
Haven't flown on this plane yet but I have an upcoming trip MCO-JFK connecting on to SQ. I can't seem to find much about row 10 on the all Y A321s. For anyone who has been on this plane is this a full exit door setup with a bulkhead wall ahead of it, or is it simply a row of seats with extra legroom? Also does the A seat have its own window or is it up against the exit door/frame? Thanks for any information!

10A/F have solid armrests (unmovable) with the TV and tray table stored inside them. It's a full exit door row (no bulkhead), BUT the exit door intrudes at least three inches into your shoulder and leg room from the side. Also, you are not allowed to stow bags under the seat in front of you in row 10.

10C is a solid seat. That and 22C are my go-to seats on the all coach A321.
Per SeatGuru, 10F description:
Per SeatGuru, 10F description:
Seat is quite uncomfortable with limited width due to in armrest tray table, under seat arm for TV and the curve of the fuselage and exit door eating in three inches. Legroom is nice but if a slightly larger person is in the middle, this is one of the worst seats on the plane.

On the all Core A321, I do the EMS row right behind the Exit Row. I used to be a really fearful so I'm still a bit anxious about exit row seating but I do an exit row aisle when absolutely necessary.

Thanks all for the information. So from what it sounds like, the row 10 exit is set against the actual door rather than back from it and does not have its own window?

I suggest closer to the front so you can use the lav up front; the ones in the back are going to be TINY.

In my experience, it's been mixed so far. I've flown on a couple now that have the new configuration but I've also recently flown on the old ones. Seat maps seem to be accurate at time of booking though I'm pretty sure one of the new configs I flew on had the old seat map when I initially booked. Since I was in Row 10, it didn't matter.

I'm booked on an A321 next June. Booked Seats 12C and 13C.
On Seatguru it lists a config that has all coach but on the Jetblue site where I booked the first few rows are Mint seats. First flight on JetBlue and am digging that it's free wifi.
12C and 13C are two rows behind the Exit Rows. Legroom looks decent, at least online.
Any thoughts on those?

Brand new poster, long time lurker here. Hopefully someone can help me out. I've been trying to get some definitive answers on Row 9 on the newest A321 (the one with 200 seats). I've read conflicting information about (1) whether the seats are narrower than the regular seats, (2) whether they recline fully, a little, or none at all, and (3) whether the center arm rest can be lifted between the seats. Anyone out there with experience with these seats in the newly configured A321s?
I have 9D&E booked for an upcoming red eye and I'm trying to decide whether to keep them, move someone else in the regular seats, or pay the upgrade for Even More Space seats. Thanks in advance for your help.

Just thought I would bump this up one time since I posted over the weekend. Anyone with knowledge about the seating in Row 9 on the JetBlue 321 200-seat configuration? Are the seats normal width? Do they recline? Does the center arm rest lift up? Thanks in advance for anyone who can help.
