Cebu Pacific A320 Seat Map & Best Seats (2026)
✈️ Quick Verdict
Aircraft: Airbus A320ceo · Fleet: 6 aircraft · Config: 180 seats, single cabin
Layout: 3-3 throughout (A B C · D E F)
Version lottery: No within the type — but a Cebu Pacific A320 booking can also be one of two A320neo layouts
Best seats: Row 14 — extra legroom and a working recline
Seats to avoid: Row 12 (33 inches, fixed upright), rows 30 and 31
Entertainment: None recorded for this aircraft · WiFi: Not fitted
The trap: row 12 is the roomiest row and the worst value
Row 12 is measured at about 33 inches, five inches more than the cabin standard. It is the deepest row on the aircraft and it looks like the obvious pick.
It does not recline. Row 12 sits directly in front of the overwing exit at row 14, so its seat backs are locked upright to keep the escape path clear. Row 11, ahead of it, is locked for the same reason and gets only ordinary legroom.
Row 14 is the row to book. It is the exit row itself, so it carries the extra legroom, and with nothing behind it to protect it reclines normally. Same fee, better seat.
Cebu numbers this cabin 1 to 31 and skips row 13, so row 14 sits immediately behind row 12. The two rows either side of that gap are the exit pair.
The back two rows
The rear lavatories sit immediately behind row 29, which puts all twelve seats in rows 30 and 31 against a lavatory door. Row 31 also does not recline, has a galley alongside, and 31D and 31E are drawn slightly narrower than the rest of the cabin. Every seat this plan rates worst is in those two rows.
Row 1 is legroom without storage
All six row 1 seats carry extra legroom, and all six lose their underseat storage to the bulkhead and take the tray table in the armrest. A lavatory sits ahead of 1A, 1B and 1C. 1C and 1D are the pick of the six: the bulkhead in front of them covers only about 70 per cent of the row, so both gain a little real floor space on the open side.
A clean cabin for windows
Unusually for a densely fitted A320, almost every window on this aircraft lines up. Only 4A, 15A and 15F have glass set behind the seat, and there is no windowless seat anywhere in the cabin. If the view matters, you can choose on legroom and noise alone.
Best seats
- 14A and 14F — the overwing exit row. Extra legroom and a working recline. The best seats on the aircraft.
- 14C and 14D — the same row on the aisle, for a fast exit through the overwing door.
- Rows 16 to 22 — just behind the wing, clear of both galleys, well ahead of the lavatory queue, with windows that line up.
- Rows 23 to 28 — the quiet stretch of the aft cabin before the lavatory zone begins.
- 1C and 1D — if you want the front row, the two with a partial bulkhead and some real extra floor space.
Seats to avoid
- Row 12 — 33 inches and a fixed seat back. The most misleading row on the aircraft.
- Row 11 — fixed upright with ordinary legroom, and no compensation at all.
- Rows 30 and 31 — twelve seats against the rear lavatories, with row 31 fixed upright, a galley alongside, and 31D and 31E narrower than the cabin standard.
- Row 29 — one row clear of the pair, but inside the queue on a full flight.
- 4A, 15A and 15F — the only three seats on the aircraft with a window set behind them.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best seat on the Cebu Pacific A320?
14A or 14F. Row 14 is the overwing exit row, so it has the extra legroom, and unlike row 12 it reclines. Row 12 is drawn deeper still, at about 33 inches, but its seat backs are locked upright.
Why does row 12 not recline?
It sits directly in front of the overwing exit at row 14. Because row 13 is skipped, row 12 and row 14 are physically adjacent, and the escape path between them has to stay clear.
Which Cebu Pacific A320 seats should I avoid?
Rows 30 and 31, where all twelve seats sit against the rear lavatories. Row 31 also does not recline and has a galley alongside. Row 11 is the other one to skip, fixed upright with no extra legroom.
Are there any windowless seats?
No, which is unusual on a 180-seat A320. Only 4A, 15A and 15F have a window set behind the seat, and even those give you a view if you lean back.
Could my Cebu Pacific A320 booking be a different aircraft?
Yes. Cebu also flies the A320neo in two layouts, at 188 and 194 seats. If your seat map runs past row 31, you are on one of those.
Does the Cebu Pacific A320 have WiFi?
No. No entertainment system is recorded for this aircraft either. Download something before you board.
