About this cabin
Etihad Airways' A321neo in this configuration seats 160 (F/J/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. Etihad Airways 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. |
| 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. |

Seats to avoid
| Seat | Cabin | Why to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| 38C | 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. |
| 38D | 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. |
| 38A | 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. |
| 38B | 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 (6 seats: 38A, 38B, 38C, and 3 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 (6 seats: 15C, 15D, 16C, and 3 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 (8 seats: 1A, 1F, 15A, and 5 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.
