How many seats does Swiss International Air Lines' A330-300 have in this configuration?

228 seats in total, arranged as F/J/Y/Y. This is one specific configuration — Swiss International Air Lines' fleet may include other configurations of the same aircraft type, covered below.

Is this the only cabin layout Swiss International Air Lines flies on the A330-300?

Yes, as far as we can determine — Swiss International Air Lines 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 2B in First 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.

SWISS' own seat map does not use rows 3 and 4, rows 16 to 18, or row 31 on this aircraft. A galley and lavatory block is drawn in each of those three spaces — between First and Business, between Business and Economy, and in the middle of the Economy cabin. SWISS does not say why the numbers are left out; that reading is ours, from its own drawing.

Swiss International Air Lines publishes 236 seats for this aircraft; this map draws 228. SWISS states 236 seats. First divides exactly into two rows of four and is drawn in full. Business and Economy do not divide into whole rows at their stated counts, and SWISS publishes no diagram showing which rows are short, so this map draws the whole rows only — 44 Business and 176 Economy — and leaves the eight seats that would sit in those partial rows off rather than inventing them.

What we could not settle on this aircraft

This SWISS A330-300 holds 236 seats — 8 First, 45 Business and 183 Economy — according to One Mile at a Time. SWISS publishes no seat map we can read. Forty-five Business seats do not divide into rows of four and 183 Economy seats do not divide into rows of eight, so at least one row in each is short and nobody has published which. We draw the full rows the figures support, 44 Business and 176 Economy, and leave the other eight seats off the map. This is also the cabin SWISS is in the middle of replacing: its "Senses" retrofit turns this aeroplane into a 225-seat aircraft with a Premium Economy cabin, so which one you get depends on which airframe turns up.

About this cabin

Swiss International Air Lines' A330-300 in this configuration seats 228 (F/J/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. Swiss International Air Lines flies only this one cabin layout on the A330-300 — no version lottery on this type. This aircraft type is currently mid-retrofit, so the exact cabin can still change as more aircraft are converted.

Quick pick, by traveller

If you're…	Pick	Why
Travelling solo	6A	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	6B	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	1B	Genuine extra legroom that also still reclines — not every extra-legroom seat does.
Trying to sleep	6A	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
2B	First	A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service.
2C	First	A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service.
15B	Business	A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service.
15C	Business	A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service.
15A	Business	A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service.
15D	Business	A galley is directly next to you, so expect crew activity, cart noise and light throughout the flight, especially during meal service.
30B	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.
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.
30F	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.
30G	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: 30A, 30B, 30C, 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.
Often cold or draughty (4 seats: 1A, 1D, 5A, and 1 more) — 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 (16 seats: 2B, 2C, 15B, and 13 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, 1B, 1C, 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.

Seat-by-seat scores: Generated from the configuration data below by our rules engine. Awaiting human review before individual scores are published as verified.
Fleet status: Retrofit in progress across the fleet — not every aircraft on this type carries this cabin yet.
Seat lettering: We haven't confirmed this cabin's exact seat letters against Swiss International Air Lines' own diagram yet. The seat count and layout are sourced; on a wide-body in particular, individual seat letters (e.g. whether a row has a seat G) may be off by one position until we do. We're working through these one airline at a time and will remove this note once it's checked.
