Condor A330-900neo Seat Selection Guide (2026)

Condor Airbus A330-900neo Business Class cabin, staggered 1-2-1 Safran Skylounge Core seats

✈️ Quick Verdict

Aircraft: Airbus A330-900neo — 310 seats, 30 Business + 64 Premium Economy + 216 Economy

Layout: Business 1-2-1 staggered, rows 1–8  ·  Premium Economy 2-4-2, rows 10–18  ·  Economy 2-4-2, rows 19–48

Version lottery: No — one configuration, so the seat map you see at booking is the one you fly

The trap: 15A and 15K are sold as Premium Economy window seats. The window sits well behind the seat and there is no usable view from either

Best in Business: 2A and 2K — Prime suites, sliding door, hard against the window  ·  1E/1F for couples

Best in Premium Economy: row 10 — 10A, 10C, 10H, 10K, the four bulkhead seats

Best in Economy: 31C and 31H, and the 31D–31G centre block — exit-row legroom without the door intrusion that hits 31A and 31K

Hidden gem: 43G and 44G — the centre block loses a seat back here, so nobody sits beside you

Seats to avoid: row 29 — restricted recline against the mid-cabin lavatories  ·  15A/15K  ·  rows 46–48 at the rear lavatories

IFE: Safran RAVE, on demand, with Bluetooth headphone pairing  ·  Wi-Fi: Inmarsat GX Aviation Ka-band, fleetwide

The two premium economy seats with no window

Condor's Premium Economy runs rows 10 to 18 in a 2-4-2 layout, and the window pairs are lettered A and C on the left, H and K on the right. Eight rows of window seats, and two of them do not work.

15A and 15K have no usable window view. There is glass in the fuselage beside row 15, but it sits well behind the seat — far enough back that leaning does not recover the view. You are paying a Premium Economy fare, selecting a window seat, and getting a wall with a window somewhere behind your shoulder.

Two more are compromised rather than lost: 17A and 17K have a window set behind the seat, so the view is there if you lean back for it. That is a normal misalignment and worth a small discount in your ranking. 15A and 15K are a different category, and they are the reason to read a seat map before paying for a window on this aircraft.

Business Class: a stagger, and which side of it you want

Condor fits 30 Safran Skylounge Core seats across rows 1 to 8 in a staggered 1-2-1. Every seat is lie-flat and every seat has direct aisle access — you never climb over anyone. Condor publishes 43 inches of pitch.

Because it is a stagger, the rows alternate. Even rows — 2, 4, 6 and 8 — are lettered A, D, G, K, and the A and K seats in those rows sit hard against the window with the console between you and the aisle. Odd rows — 3, 5 and 7 — are lettered C, E, F, H, and the C and H seats sit closer to the aisle with the console on the window side. Both are lie-flat and both have direct aisle access; the difference is privacy and how close you are to the glass.

If you want the window, book an even row: 2A, 2K, 4A, 4K, 6A, 6K. If you would rather be a step from the aisle, take an odd row.

The four Prime Seats. Condor sells four seats on this aircraft as Prime: 1E, 1F, 2A and 2K. Condor's own fleet page describes the cabin as "30 (26 + 4 Prime Seats)". These four carry a sliding door and a taller privacy enclosure that the other 26 do not, plus a larger ottoman, a bigger screen, pyjamas and complimentary Wi-Fi. They are sold as a paid extra on top of the Business fare.

1E and 1F are the centre pair — the couple's choice, with a divider you can lower. 2A and 2K are the window Prime seats, and they are the ones to take if you are travelling alone.

Avoid row 8 if you can. 8A, 8D, 8G and 8K sit at the back of the cabin with a lavatory directly behind, and all four rate poorly in the cabin data for it. The door is usually curtain-separated and a 30-seat cabin with three lavatories does not generate much of a queue, so this is the mildest kind of bad seat — but it is still the one row in Business with a flagged problem, and rows 4 and 6 are the same seat without it.

Premium Economy: row 10 is the row

Sixty-four seats, rows 10 to 18, 2-4-2, 35 inches of pitch against 30 in Economy behind, 17.5 inches wide with an adjustable footrest.

Row 10 is only four seats — 10A, 10C, 10H and 10K. There is no centre block in row 10, so these four sit at the bulkhead with extra legroom ahead and nobody in front of them. That is the pick of the cabin. The trade is no underseat storage, so everything goes in the bin for take-off and landing.

11D, 11E, 11F and 11G are the centre block's bulkhead row and also carry extra legroom — but the galley sits directly ahead, which means noise and bright light through meal service. Good for legroom, poor for sleeping.

Row 18 is the one to skip. It is a centre-only row — 18D, 18E, 18F, 18G, with no window seats at all — and all four have limited recline because the cabin divider sits directly behind. It looks like an ordinary premium economy row on a booking map. It is the last row of the cabin with a wall behind it.

Economy: the exit row, and the seats with nobody beside them

216 seats, rows 19 to 48, 2-4-2, 30 inches of pitch and 17.5 inches wide — the same width Condor quotes for Premium Economy. On a 2-4-2 widebody the window pairs are genuinely good value: A and C, H and K, and only one person to pass.

The exit row is 30 and 31, and they are not the same seat. Row 30 is a centre-only row — 30D, 30E, 30F, 30G — with extra legroom, no underseat storage and the tray table and screen in the armrest, which narrows the seat you actually sit in. Row 31 is a full eight-across row, also with extra legroom, also with the tray in the armrest.

Within row 31 there is a split worth knowing. 31A and 31K take a door intrusion: exit doors L3 and R3 curve into part of the legroom starting about 40cm (16in) ahead, so your legs extend at a diagonal. 31C, 31H and the 31D–31G centre block do not. Those six are the best economy seats on the aircraft — exit-row legroom, no door in the way, and no seat reclining into you.

The cost, for all of row 30 and 31: a lavatory sits ahead of them, so there is queuing traffic in your eyeline. If you sleep better than you stretch, that is a reason to look elsewhere.

💡 The hidden gem: 43G and 44G. From row 43 the centre block drops from four seats to three — D, E and G, with the F position gone as the fuselage narrows. That leaves an empty space beside G: no seat next to you, and the underseat storage in that gap is yours. It is an ordinary economy fare for a seat with a permanent empty neighbour, and nothing on the booking map advertises it.

45G has the same empty space and one drawback — it is close enough to the rear lavatories to catch the queue. Take 43G or 44G first; 45G is the fallback if they have gone.

The economy rows to avoid

Row 29 is the worst row in Economy. Six seats — 29D, 29E, 29F, 29G, 29H, 29K — all with limited recline because the mid-cabin lavatory bank and the exit-row bulkhead sit directly behind. 29D, 29G, 29H and 29K are immediately adjacent to a lavatory door. You get the noise, the odours and the queue, and you cannot lean back away from any of it.

Row 28 is the row ahead of it and takes the same lavatory traffic at 28A, 28C, 28H and 28K, with 28A additionally carrying a window set behind the seat.

Rows 45 to 48 are the rear lavatory block. 45A, 45C, 45H, 45K and all of row 46 are immediately adjacent to a lavatory door; 45A and 45K also have a window set behind the seat. Rows 47 and 48 are three-seat centre-only rows — D, E, G — and row 48 has lavatories directly ahead of it.

One more, easy to miss: 20A, 22A, 24A and 26A each have a window set behind the seat. They are perfectly good seats in every other respect, but if the window is why you picked them, pick a different row.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Condor A330neo seats have a door?

Four: 1E, 1F, 2A and 2K. These are the Prime Seats, and they carry a sliding door and a taller privacy enclosure. The other 26 Business seats are the same Safran Skylounge Core shell without the door.

Is Condor's Premium Economy worth it on the A330neo?

The pitch goes from 30 inches to 35, and you get an adjustable footrest. The seat width does not change — Condor quotes 17.5 inches in both cabins. So you are buying five inches of legroom, not a wider seat. Avoid 15A and 15K if you are buying it for the view.

Are there any seats without windows?

No seat is against a blank wall, but 15A and 15K in Premium Economy have no usable window view — the glass sits well behind the seat. A further nine window seats have a window set behind them and need a lean to see out: 17A, 17K, 20A, 22A, 24A, 26A, 28A, 45A and 45K.

Does Condor's A330neo have Wi-Fi?

Yes — Inmarsat GX Aviation Ka-band across the fleet, in the 10–40 Mbps range, which is enough to stream. It is a paid product except at the four Prime seats, where it is included.

How many A330-900neos does Condor operate?

Published counts disagree with one another, so we are not quoting a figure. It does not matter for seat selection here: Condor operates the A330-900neo in a single 310-seat configuration, so the seat map you see when you book is the cabin you will fly.

Which economy seats should I avoid?

Row 29 above all — six seats with limited recline against the mid-cabin lavatories. Then rows 45 to 48 at the rear lavatory block, and row 18 if you are in Premium Economy, which is a centre-only row with a wall behind it.
