Read off the airline’s own material, but some detail — often the row numbering — is our own careful work rather than theirs. Treat row-level detail as indicative and check at booking.
Egyptair publishes 182 seats for this aircraft; this map draws 178. EgyptAir states 182 seats: 16 Business and 166 Economy. Business divides exactly into four rows of four and is drawn in full. 166 economy seats do not divide into whole rows of six, and EgyptAir publishes no diagram showing which row is short, so this map draws 27 full rows — 162 seats — and leaves the remaining four off.
What we could not settle on this aircraft
Airbus's own delivery release says this EgyptAir A321neo holds 182 seats — 16 Business and 166 Economy. Business is drawn in full. 166 Economy seats will not fill whole rows of six, so four seats sit in a short row nobody has published, and we draw 178 and leave four off the map. EgyptAir publishes no seat map for this aircraft, which is also why the overwing exit row and the wing position are not marked here.
Worked out from sourced data rather than read directly off a published map.
Quick verdict
In Business, seat 2A is the best pick.
About this cabin
Egyptair's A321neo in this configuration seats 178 (J/Y). The seat totals here are confirmed from published airline data; some row-by-row detail is our own careful estimate where the airline doesn't publish it. Egyptair 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 | 2A | 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 | 2A | 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 | 1A | Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does. |
| Trying to sleep | 2A | A window seat away from galley and lavatory traffic, so aisle lights and trolley passes are less likely to wake you. |

Best seats
Business
- 2A — This cabin has 16 seats or fewer and sits ahead of the main cabin, so it usually feels quieter and boards and deplanes faster.
- 2D — This cabin has 16 seats or fewer and sits ahead of the main cabin, so it usually feels quieter and boards and deplanes faster.
- 3A — This cabin has 16 seats or fewer and sits ahead of the main cabin, so it usually feels quieter and boards and deplanes faster.
- 3B — This cabin has 16 seats or fewer and sits ahead of the main cabin, so it usually feels quieter and boards and deplanes faster.
Seats to avoid
| Seat | Cabin | Why to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| 30C | 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. |
| 30D | 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. |
| 31C | 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. |
| 31D | 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 (16 seats: 4A, 4B, 4C, and 13 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 (8 seats: 1B, 1C, 2B, and 5 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 (16 seats: 1A, 1B, 1C, and 13 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.
