Allegiant Air A319 Seat Selection Guide (2026)
Updated July 2026 · Verified seat-level data
Unlike Allegiant's A320s — which now fly in three different densities — the A319 comes in a single 156-seat layout, so there's no seat-count lottery to decode. Every Allegiant A319 has the same cabin: Series 3 slimline seats in 3-3, fixed backs that don't recline, no power, no WiFi, no screens. The catch is at the fleet level: Allegiant swaps aircraft freely, so a flight booked on an A319 can operate as an A320 or 737 MAX 8 instead. This guide breaks down all 156 seats row by row.
✈️ Quick Verdict

| WiFi | None (Starlink under evaluation, no timeline) |
One Layout, But Watch the Aircraft Swap
Good news first: the A319 comes in a single 156-seat layout, so there's no lottery within the type. The catch is at the fleet level — Allegiant swaps aircraft freely and doesn't fly most routes daily, so a flight booked on an A319 can operate as an A320 (177/180/186 seats) or a 737 MAX 8 (190 seats) instead. That matters because:
- The A319 and A320 share the same seat numbers for the exit rows (12 and 14), so an extra-legroom seat usually stays extra-legroom across a swap.
- But the A320 has more rows (up to 31 or 32 vs the A319's row 29), so a rear-cabin seat number may not exist — or may sit somewhere different — if your aircraft changes.
- Only the 737 MAX 8 has in-seat USB power; neither the A319 nor the A320 has any.
Bottom line: the A319 cabin itself is predictable, but confirm your aircraft type the day before travel if a specific seat matters.
The A319 Cabin — Row by Row
Pitch is about 28″ through most of the cabin, ~29″ in the front rows, and ~35″ in the exit rows. The cabin is numbered from row 3, and row 13 is skipped.
✅ Best Seats
- 14A, 14F — best on the aircraft. Exit-row windows at ~35″ pitch with a normal seat behind them, so the whole row gets the space with no recline compromise.
- 14C, 14D — best exit-row aisles. Same 35″ legroom with aisle convenience and a fast exit.
- 12C, 12D — forward exit-row aisles. The other extra-legroom row at ~35″.
- Rows 4–10 (windows and aisles). The front third of the cabin at ~29″ — a touch more room than the back, quieter, and quick to board and deplane. Skip 7A (misaligned window).
🚫 Seats to Avoid
- Row 29 (all). Last row: 29A and 29F have no window (fuselage wall only), the whole row is slightly narrower, and it backs onto the rear lavatory and galley. No recline either.
- Row 28 (28A, 28D, 28E, 28F). Just ahead of the rear galley. 28A and 28F are slightly narrower; 28D/28E/28F catch galley noise and light during service.
- Row 3 (all). Bulkhead front row — extra legroom, but no under-seat storage for take-off and landing, tray tables in the armrests (narrower seat), armrests don't raise, and it sits right by the forward galley and lavatory.
- 7A, 23A, 23F — misaligned windows. The window is out of line with the seat — you lean back to see out. Fine as a wall to lean on; frustrating if you booked the window for the view.
- All middle seats (B and E). On a fixed-back aircraft with no power and no IFE, a middle seat is pure downside.
A note on the exit rows (12 & 14)
Rows 12 and 14 are the emergency exits and carry the best legroom in the cabin (~35″); row 13 doesn't exist. Row 14 is the stronger pick — every seat gets the space with no catch. In Row 12, the aisle seats (12C/12D) are excellent, while the window and middle seats sit against the exit and sit slightly more upright (academic here, since nothing reclines). Exit-row passengers must be willing and able to help in an evacuation, and no bags may be under the seat for take-off and landing.
Cabin Features & Technology

| Streaming | None |

Allegiant remains the only major US ultra-low-cost carrier flying without any WiFi. The airline has floated adding connectivity (Starlink has been discussed) but committed to no timeline. Bring downloaded entertainment on a fully charged device — the A319 can't recharge it.
How It Compares
| Airline / Aircraft | Seats | Pitch | WiFi | Power | Recline |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Allegiant A319 | 156 | 28–35″ | No | No | No |
| Allegiant A320 | 177 / 180 / 186 | 28–35″ | No | No | No |
| Allegiant 737 MAX 8 | 190 | 28–30″ | No | USB-A/C | No |
| Frontier A319 | 150 | 28–30″ | No | No | Stretch only |
| Spirit A319 | 145 | 28″ | Yes ($) | No | No |
A319 vs Allegiant's own A320: Near-identical experience — same seat family, same exit-row legroom, same lack of power/WiFi/recline. The A319 is just shorter and a little older.
A319 vs Allegiant's 737 MAX 8: The MAX is the only Allegiant aircraft with in-seat USB power. If charging matters and you have the choice, take the MAX.
A319 vs Spirit/Frontier: Spirit adds WiFi; Frontier's Stretch seats recline. Allegiant's counter is its route network — often the only nonstop on the route.
The Allegiant Difference: Route Network
Roughly three-quarters of Allegiant's routes have no direct competition. The airline links small and mid-size US cities to leisure destinations, frequently through secondary airports — Sanford instead of Orlando, Mesa instead of Phoenix, Punta Gorda instead of Fort Myers. You usually fly Allegiant because it's the only nonstop, not the cheapest — which makes the right seat matter more, since there's no rival flight to switch to. Most routes run only 2–4 times a week, so a cancellation can mean a multi-day wait.

FAQ
Does the Allegiant A319 come in more than one layout?
No. Unlike the A320 — which now flies in 177-, 180- and 186-seat versions — every Allegiant A319 has the same 156-seat cabin. The only variable is whether your flight is operated by an A319 at all, since Allegiant swaps aircraft types.
Where is the best legroom on the A319?
The exit rows — rows 12 and 14 — at roughly 35″ of pitch. Row 14 is the best because every seat gets the space with no compromise. Row 13 doesn't exist.
Which seats should I avoid?
Row 29, the last row: 29A and 29F have no window, the row is slightly narrower, and it sits by the rear lavatory and galley. Row 3 (the bulkhead) and the misaligned-window seats 7A, 23A and 23F are also worth skipping.
Do Allegiant A319 seats recline?
No. The A319 uses fixed-back slimline seats in every row.
Are there power outlets or WiFi on the A319?
Neither. No in-seat power and no WiFi. Only the newer 737 MAX 8 has USB charging.
Why does the seat map start at row 3?
Allegiant numbers the A319 cabin from row 3 — there are no rows 1 or 2, and row 13 is skipped. It's just the airline's numbering; you're not missing any seats.
