easyJet Europe Airbus A320 Seat MapseasyJet Europe

The A320-200 V.1 features the densified version with 186 seats. This was achieved by adding another row at the back where the lavatories were originally located. The lavatories were moved to the galley area since easyJet’s operations do not require extensive galley facilities. That last row is best avoided, though, as it is narrower and lacks a window on either side. The aircraft are fitted with pre-reclined Recaro slimline seats offering improved knee space at the rather tight pitch of 28”-29” (71cm-74cm). Taller passengers are advised to select a seat at the emergency exit rows 12 and 13 but do note that the outer seats suffer from a cold draft coming from the exits. The first row is also an interesting option as it feels noticeably less cramped with much improved knee space. The closeness to the galley and lavatory is however a downside. We generally advise against choosing the row just ahead of the emergency exits as the seats might be slightly more upright in order to comply with regulations.

This second version of the A320 in easyJet’s fleet still features the older layout with 180 seats. This does not have the additional windowless row 31. Instead, the last row is number 30 and is a standard row. Only expect additional traffic due to the lavatories right behind. The seats are pre-reclined at a rather tight pitch of 28”-29” (71cm-74cm). More space can be found at the exit rows 12 and 13. Beware the outer seats at these rows will feel colder due to the exit doors. Row 1 offers greatly improved knee space but legs might not be able to fully stretch out due to the bulkhead in front. Rows 11 and 12 might be less pre-reclined in order not to obstruct the exits behind them.

These highly modern airliners feature 186 seats in easyJet’s layout. The seats are pre-reclined Recaro slimline seats with a pitch of 28”-29” (71-74cm). An increased seat pitch can only be found at the exit rows 12 and 13. The seats adjacent to the exit do feel colder, however. Row 1 at the front offers more space for knees but the bulkhead in front restricts legroom somewhat. At the very end of the cabin we find the least desirable row 31. This is because it lacks windows and the seats are narrower. The proximity to the galley and lavatories is also a negative for most passengers. In order not to obstruct the emergency exits, rows 11 and 12 might have slightly less pre-reclined seats.
