Aer Lingus' own seat map does not use row 6 on this aircraft: a galley is drawn in the space between the Business cabin, which ends at row 5, and Economy, which begins at row 7. Aer Lingus does not say why the number is left out; that reading is ours, from its own drawing.
Our best current understanding, not yet confirmed against a primary source.
About this cabin
Aer Lingus' A321neo in this configuration seats 184 (J/J/J/J/J/Y/Y/Y/Y). This is our best current estimate for this layout, built mainly from secondary sources — treat exact seat-by-seat detail with a little more caution than usual. Aer Lingus flies only this one cabin layout on the A321neo — no version lottery on this type.
Quick pick, by traveller
| If you're… | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Travelling solo | 4A | A window seat rated highly with nothing working against it — lean on the wall, control the shade, nobody climbing over you. |
| Travelling as a couple | 3A | This row's layout puts a genuine two-seat pair here — no middle seat exists in this group, so it's just the two of you. |
| Tall passengers | 15A | Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does. |
| Trying to sleep | 4A | A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you. |
Seat map
Business Class
Business Class spans rows 1–5 in a 2-2 layout, 47in pitch and 22in seat width. Worth avoiding: 1B, 1C, 5B, 5C — next to lavatory.
Aer Lingus's Business cabin on this aircraft is a stagger that alternates between 2-2 and 1-1 rows on the Thompson Vantage platform, so the narrow rows are the product rather than a gap. Which rows are which is this project's own arithmetic from the published seat count, not an Aer Lingus drawing, which is why the configuration is derived rather than verified.
Economy
Economy spans rows 7–13 and 16–34 in a 3-3 layout, 32in pitch. Worth avoiding: 34C, 34D, 34A, 34B — seat doesn't recline.
Economy (exit row)
Economy (exit row) spans rows 14–15 in a 3-3 layout, 35in pitch. Worth avoiding: 14C, 14D — seat doesn't recline.

Seats to avoid
| Seat | Cabin | Why to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| 1B | Business Class | The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. |
| 1C | Business Class | The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. |
| 5B | Business Class | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 5C | Business Class | A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. |
| 34C | Economy | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 34D | Economy | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 34A | Economy | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 34B | Economy | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 14C | Economy (exit row) | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
| 14D | Economy (exit row) | This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight. |
Known quirks on this aircraft
- Seat doesn't recline (18 seats: 13A, 13B, 13C, and 15 more) — This is the last row of the cabin, or the row directly in front of an exit, so the seat back is fixed upright for the whole flight.
- High foot traffic (18 seats: 1B, 1C, 5B, and 15 more) — This aisle seat sits right next to a lavatory, galley or exit, so expect a steady stream of people brushing past, especially early and late in the flight.
- No underseat storage (22 seats: 1A, 1B, 1C, and 19 more) — Bulkhead and exit-row seats have nothing in front of the seat to store a bag under, so your bag must go in the overhead bin for the whole flight.
Frequently asked
- How many seats does Aer Lingus' A321neo have in this configuration?
- 184 seats in total, arranged as J/J/J/J/J/Y/Y/Y/Y. This is one specific configuration — Aer Lingus' fleet may include other configurations of the same aircraft type, covered below.
- Is this the only cabin layout Aer Lingus flies on the A321neo?
- Yes, as far as we can determine — Aer Lingus flies only this one cabin layout on the A321neo. There's no "version lottery" to worry about on this specific type for this airline.
- Which seats should I avoid?
- Seat 1B in Business Class is worth avoiding: The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. The full seat map marks every seat we'd steer you away from, with the specific reason for each.
- Does the A321neo have wifi and power in this configuration?
- Business Class has good wifi and AC and USB-C power at the seat. Power and wifi can vary by cabin on the same aircraft — check the cabin specs table above for every class.
- How confident are you in this seat map?
- This configuration is marked "provisional" — assembled from secondary sources and not yet confirmed against a primary one. See the sources and last-verified date lower on this page.
- Has a real person checked these individual seat scores?
- Not yet for this specific configuration. The scores above come from our rules engine, which reasons from real aircraft geometry, but they aren't marked as human-verified until someone has actually reviewed the unusual ones — see the verification section below for the current status.
