About this cabin

Quick pick, by traveller
| If you're… | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Travelling solo | 12A | A window seat rated highly with nothing working against it — lean on the wall, control the shade, nobody climbing over you. |
| Tall passengers | 12B | Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does. |
| Nervous flyers | 12B | Over the wing, close to the aircraft's structural centre of gravity — the smoothest ride on board when it's bumpy. |
| 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
| Seat | Cabin | Why to avoid it |
|---|---|---|
| 2C | Economy | The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. |
| 2D | Economy | The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. |
| 1C | Economy | The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. |
| 1D | Economy | The lavatory is directly next to you, so expect people queueing in the aisle and door noise, especially on a night flight. |
| 32A | Economy (aft partial row, unconfirmed) | 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. |
| 32B | Economy (aft partial row, unconfirmed) | 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. |
| 32C | Economy (aft partial row, unconfirmed) | 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 (9 seats: 11A, 11B, 11C, and 6 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 (10 seats: 1C, 1D, 2C, and 7 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 (12 seats: 1A, 1B, 1C, and 9 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.
- Wing blocks the view (12 seats: 11A, 11F, 12A, and 9 more) — The wing sits directly outside this window, blocking most of the view — but you also get one of the smoothest, quietest rides on the aircraft.
Frequently asked

- 189 seats in total, arranged as Y/Y. This is one specific configuration — Norwegian Air Shuttle's fleet may include other configurations of the same aircraft type, covered below.
