How many seats does Brussels Airlines' A330-300 have in this configuration?

289 seats in total, arranged as J/W/Y. This is one specific configuration — Brussels Airlines' fleet may include other configurations of the same aircraft type, covered below.

Is this the only cabin layout Brussels Airlines flies on the A330-300?

Yes, as far as we can determine — Brussels Airlines flies only this one cabin layout on the A330-300. There's no "version lottery" to worry about on this specific type for this airline.

Which seats should I avoid?

Seat 1B in Business is worth avoiding: A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service. The full seat map marks every seat we'd steer you away from, with the specific reason for each.

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.

Brussels Airlines publishes 295 seats for this aircraft; this map draws 289. Brussels Airlines states 295 seats: 30 Business, 21 Premium Economy and 244 Economy. Premium Economy divides exactly into three rows of seven and is drawn in full. 30 Business seats do not divide into whole rows of four and 244 economy seats do not divide into whole rows of eight, and Brussels Airlines publishes no diagram showing where either cabin is short, so this map draws 28 Business and 240 Economy seats and leaves the six remaining off.

What we could not settle on this aircraft

Brussels Airlines says this A330 holds 295 seats — 30 Business, 21 Premium Economy and 244 Economy. Premium Economy is drawn in full. The other two are not: 30 Business seats will not fill whole rows of four, and 244 Economy seats will not fill whole rows of eight, so one row in each is short and Brussels Airlines publishes no seat map saying which. We draw 289 seats and leave six off. The Economy layout of 2-4-2 is also our own reading rather than a Brussels Airlines figure. - https://thepointsguy.com/news/brussels-airlines-to-upgrade-a330-cabins-with-new-biz-and-premium-economy-seats/ - https://thepointsguy.com/airline/reviews/brussels-airlines-premium-economy-a330 - https://www.thompsonaero.com/seating-range/vantage

About this cabin

Brussels Airlines' A330-300 in this configuration seats 289 (J/W/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. Brussels Airlines flies only this one cabin layout on the A330-300 — no version lottery on this type.

Quick pick, by traveller

If you're…	Pick	Why
Travelling solo	3A	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	3B	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.
Trying to sleep	3A	A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you.

Seats to avoid

1B	Business	A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service.

1A	Business	A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service.
1D	Business	A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service.
12B	Premium 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.
12C	Premium 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.
12E	Premium 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.

Known quirks on this aircraft

Seat doesn't recline (15 seats: 12A, 12B, 12C, and 12 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.
Often cold or draughty (2 seats: 1A, 1D) — Seats next to a bulkhead or door on a long-haul widebody are usually the coldest in the cabin — bring a layer for this one.
High foot traffic (26 seats: 1B, 1C, 2B, and 23 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 (4 seats: 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1 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.
