The headline: 27 inches from the wing back
Aegean's A320neo is a tight aircraft. The forward Economy rows measure about 29 inches and describes that as two inches more than the cabin standard, which puts the standard at about 27 inches from row 14 to row 31. That is at the bottom of what any European operator fits, and it covers eighteen of the aircraft's thirty rows.
Two rows escape it completely. Rows 11 and 12 are measured at about 33 inches, five inches more than the standard, which is a genuinely large jump. Between the two extremes, rows 7 to 10 sit at about 29 inches and cost nothing extra.
On this aircraft the seat you pay for is worth it. Six inches between row 12 and row 20 is not a marginal upgrade, it is the difference between comfortable and cramped for the whole flight.
The trap: only one of the two roomy rows reclines
Rows 11 and 12 are the overwing exit pair and both are drawn at about 33 inches. Aegean prices them the same and the booking map shows them identically.
Row 11 sits in front of the aft exit, so its seat backs are locked upright to keep the escape path clear. Row 12 has nothing behind it to protect and reclines normally. Row 10, immediately ahead of the pair, is locked upright too and gets only the ordinary 29 inches.
So the ranking is straightforward. Row 12 is the best row on the aircraft. Row 11 is the same space with a fixed seat back. Row 10 is the worst value of the three, and it is easy to pick by accident because it looks like an ordinary forward row.
Every third row has a compromised window
At 27 inches of pitch the seats no longer line up with the fuselage windows, and on this aircraft the mismatch repeats on a fixed cycle. 14A, 14F, 17A, 17F, 20A, 20F, 23A, 23F, 26A, 26F, 29A and 29F all have a window set behind the seat — twelve seats, every third row from 14 to 29, on both sides of the aircraft.
None of them is a blank wall; you can still see out by leaning back. But if the view is what you are buying, skip those six rows and take a window in 15, 16, 18, 19, 21, 22, 24, 25, 27 or 28 instead. The pattern is regular enough to memorise: counting back from row 14, every third row loses its view.
The cleanest cabin in the batch, by one measure
Not one seat on this aircraft rates as a seat to avoid outright. That is unusual on a 180-seat narrowbody, and it is a fair reflection of the cabin: there is no seat here with a blank wall, no seat with a lavatory door against it that is not also the last row, and no seat that loses its underseat storage.
What it has instead is a long list of seats with something worth knowing — thirty-six of them, mostly the misaligned windows and the last two rows. The aircraft has no disaster seats, and a large number of merely tight ones.
Business Class and the moving curtain
Aegean sells Business at the front of the same cabin with the centre seats not sold. The curtain moves with demand, and its maximum extent is row 6, so on a full business day the first six rows sit behind it and on a quiet one it may be as far forward as row 2.
Row 1 is the bulkhead row. All six seats carry the tray table in the armrest with no seat back ahead, and 1D, 1E and 1F sit directly behind the forward galley. Rows 1 to 4 are also drawn at the widest spacing on the aircraft, which is what you are paying for in Business.
Best seats
- 12A and 12F — about 33 inches with a working recline. The best seats on the aircraft by a clear margin.
- 12C and 12D — the same row on the aisle, for a fast exit through the overwing door.
- Rows 7, 8 and 9 — about 29 inches at no charge, two inches better than most of the cabin, with a normal recline.
- 15A, 16A, 18A and 19A — window seats just behind the wing that are not on the misaligned cycle.
- Row 7 specifically — the first row that is always Economy whatever the Business curtain does.
Seats to avoid
- Row 11 — the legroom trap. Thirty-three inches, fixed upright, same price as row 12.
- Row 10 — fixed upright with only the ordinary 29 inches. The worst value in the forward cabin.
- Row 31 — the last row. Fixed upright against the rear wall, with the lavatories behind 31A to 31E and the galley alongside.
- Row 30 D, E and F — one row better, but still inside the galley zone.
- 14A, 14F, 17A, 17F, 20A, 20F, 23A, 23F, 26A, 26F, 29A and 29F — windows set behind the seat. Every third row from 14 to 29.
- Anything from row 20 back, if you have a choice — about 27 inches, and the aircraft has better seats for the same money further forward.
Is it a neo or a ceo?
Aegean flies both. The A320neo has 180 seats and runs to row 31, with its extra-legroom rows at 11 and 12. The A320ceo plans have 174 seats, stop at row 30, and put the extra-legroom row at 11 with the recline restriction on rows 10 and 11.
Check the last row number. Row 31 is the neo. Row 30 is a ceo, and the row numbers here will be one out.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best seat on the Aegean A320neo?
12A or 12F. Row 12 is the aft overwing exit row at about 33 inches, six inches more than most of the cabin, and unlike row 11 it reclines. On an aircraft this tight it is the one seat worth paying for.
How tight is the Aegean A320neo?
About 27 inches from row 14 to row 31, which is the cabin standard. Rows 7 to 10 are about 29 inches and cost nothing extra, and rows 11 and 12 are about 33.
Which Aegean A320neo window seats should I avoid?
Every third row from 14 to 29 on both sides: 14A, 14F, 17A, 17F, 20A, 20F, 23A, 23F, 26A, 26F, 29A and 29F. The window sits behind the seat at all twelve, so you have to lean back to see out. Counting back from row 14, every third row is affected.
Why does row 11 not recline?
It sits in front of the aft overwing exit and the escape path has to stay clear. Row 10 is locked for the same reason, and row 10 does not even get the extra legroom to compensate.
Does the Aegean A320neo have seatback screens or WiFi?
No screens. The AEGEAN Portal streams films, series, music and a moving map to your own device, and European Aviation Network WiFi is fitted for internet access. Bring a charged phone or tablet.
How do I tell an Aegean A320neo from an A320ceo?
Check the last row. The A320neo runs to row 31 with 180 seats. The A320ceo stops at row 30 with 174 seats and puts its extra-legroom row at 11 rather than 12, so the numbers in this guide will be one out on that aircraft.
