A321ceo
Airbus
We've documented 12 airlines flying the A321ceo across 14 cabin configurations, built by Airbus as part of the A320 family. Total seat count ranges from 102 to 230 depending on how densely an airline configures it. Its fuselage is 3700mm wide — the fixed physical constraint every airline's cabin layout has to work within, regardless of how they configure the inside.
Economy pitch on this type ranges from 28in to 31in depending on the airline — a real, measurable difference in legroom for the exact same aircraft. 1 of these airlines flies more than one cabin layout on this same aircraft type — check which one applies to your specific flight before assuming. 2 of 14 configurations here are verified directly against the operating airline's own published material.

Frequently asked
- Which airlines fly the A321ceo?
- We've documented 12 airlines operating the A321ceo, each with its own generated seat map below — the cabin you get depends entirely on which airline and which specific configuration they fly.
- What's the economy seat pitch on the A321ceo?
- It varies by airline — from 28in to 31in among the operators we've measured. See the comparison table below for the exact figure per airline.
- Does the cabin layout on the A321ceo differ by airline?
- Yes, significantly. Airlines configure the same airframe with completely different seat counts, classes and pitches — this page groups every configuration we've documented by airline so you can compare the real differences rather than assume one layout fits all.
- Who makes the A321ceo, and what family is it part of?
- Airbus builds the A321ceo, part of the A320 family — a 3700mm-wide fuselage that every operator's cabin layout has to fit within.
- I flew this aircraft and the layout looked different — what do I do?
- Tell us. Airlines retrofit cabins constantly and different registrations of the same type can carry different cabins. Email corrections@bestplaneseats.com with the airline, flight number, date and what you actually saw.
