Delta Air Lines Airbus A320 Seat Selection Guide (2026)
Delta operates one uniform configuration of the Airbus A320 across its fleet of roughly 58 aircraft, which makes this one of the easier Delta narrowbodies to plan around: what you see on the seat map is what you get, every time. The cabin carries 157 seats across three product tiers — First Class, Comfort+, and Main Cabin — and unlike some of Delta's older jets, every seat has a seatback AVOD screen. Below is a full cabin-by-cabin breakdown, the seats worth chasing, and the ones to skip.
Quick Verdict
| Aircraft | Airbus A320-200 (single configuration) |
| Fleet size | ~58 aircraft |
| Total seats | 157 |
| Configuration | 16 First + 141 Main Cabin (18 Comfort+) |
| Layout | First 2-2 · Comfort+ & Main Cabin 3-3 |
| Version lottery | No — single uniform config fleet-wide |
| Best seats | Comfort+ 10A/10F (bulkhead windows); First rows 2-3; forward Main Cabin windows 16A/F, 17A/F |
| Seats to avoid | 33D/33E (rear lavatory); row 32 (rear galley caution); middle seats (B/E) |
| IFE | Seatback AVOD screens + stream-to-device |
| Power | In-seat power throughout |
| WiFi | Viasat Ka-band satellite; free Wi-Fi for SkyMiles members |
Bottom line: No version lottery to worry about. Pick a low-numbered First row, a Comfort+ window, or any forward Main Cabin window, and avoid the very back of the aircraft.
Cabin-by-Cabin Analysis
First Class (rows 1-4, 2-2 layout)
Delta's domestic First Class is a 16-seat cabin laid out 2-2 (A and B on the left, C and D on the right). Pitch sits around 37 inches with wide ~21" recliners, adjustable headrests, and priority stowage. Every seat has a seatback screen plus in-seat power.
- Best seats: rows 2 and 3. They strike the best balance — full legroom without the bulkhead compromise of row 1. 2A/2D and 3A/3D are the standout windows.
- Solo travellers: Any aisle (B or C) gives you a quick exit; window seats (A or D) are best for sleeping or working undisturbed.
- Avoid: row 1. The bulkhead extends to the floor, angling footroom awkwardly and blocking under-seat stowage at takeoff and landing.
- Watch out: row 4. The last First row sits closest to the Main Cabin boundary and the forward galley/lav traffic.
Comfort+ (rows 10-12, 3-3 layout)
Comfort+ is Delta's extra-legroom economy product and occupies the front of the Main Cabin — an 18-seat block across rows 10, 11, and 12 offering roughly 34" of pitch (about three inches more than standard Main Cabin), dedicated overhead bin space, earlier boarding, and a complimentary drink on most flights.
- Best seats: row 10 (10A-10F). The bulkhead front row of the Main Cabin combines extra legroom with the quickest exit. Windows 10A and 10F are the top picks, with 11A/12A and 11F/12F close behind.
- Good for couples: 10D/10F or 11D/11F keep two travellers together with one window and one aisle.
- Aisle pick: 10C/10D give you extra legroom plus immediate aisle access at the very front of the Main Cabin.
- Avoid the middles: 10B, 11B, 12B, 10E, 11E, 12E — you still pay the Comfort+ premium for a middle seat.
Main Cabin (rows 13-33, 3-3 layout)
Standard Main Cabin runs from behind the Comfort+ block back to row 33 in a 3-3 layout (A-B-C on the left, D-E-F on the right) at the usual ~30-31" of pitch. Every seat has a seatback AVOD screen and in-seat power — a genuine advantage over carriers that have stripped screens from their narrowbodies.
- Best seats: forward windows. Low-to-mid rows such as 16A/16F and 17A/17F get you off the aircraft sooner and away from rear galley noise.
- Exit rows 14 and 15: Extra legroom at no Comfort+ surcharge, so the window exit seats (14A/14F, 15A/15F) are excellent value. The trade-off: exit-row recline is limited or minimal, and you must be willing and able to perform exit-row duties.
- Aisles: Any aisle seat (C or D) in the forward half of the cabin is a solid all-rounder for quick deplaning.
- Avoid: 33D and 33E. The last row by the rear lavatory — expect reduced or no recline, foot traffic, and noise (33F sits in the same caution zone). The left side of row 33 has no seats.
- Caution: row 32 (32A-32C). Beside the rear galley — worth avoiding if you are sensitive to service noise and light. All middle seats (B and E) remain the least desirable in any row.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Delta A320 have seatback screens?
Yes. Every seat on Delta's A320 — First Class, Comfort+, and Main Cabin — has a seatback AVOD screen, and you can also stream entertainment to your own device. This is consistent across the entire A320 fleet.
Are there different versions of the Delta A320?
No. Delta operates a single uniform configuration of the A320 across its roughly 58-aircraft fleet: 16 First Class and 141 Main Cabin seats including 18 Comfort+. There is no version lottery, so the seat map you plan around is the one you'll fly.
Where is Comfort+ on the Delta A320?
Comfort+ is the front portion of the Main Cabin, rows 10 through 12, in a 3-3 layout. It offers around 34 inches of pitch — roughly three inches more than standard Main Cabin — plus earlier boarding, dedicated bin space, and a complimentary drink on most flights.
Which seats should I avoid on the Delta A320?
Avoid 33D and 33E in the last row, which sits by the rear lavatory with limited recline and more noise and foot traffic (33F is in the same caution zone). Row 32 is also worth skipping if you are sensitive to rear galley activity. Middle seats (B and E) are the least comfortable in any row, and exit-row seats — while roomy — have limited recline.
Are the exit rows worth it?
Yes, if you want extra legroom without paying the Comfort+ premium. The exit rows (14 and 15) give noticeably more legroom, with the window exit seats being the standout value. The trade-off is limited recline, and you must be able to assist in an evacuation.
Is Wi-Fi free on the Delta A320?
Delta offers free Wi-Fi for SkyMiles members on the A320, delivered over Viasat Ka-band satellite. Sign up for SkyMiles (it's free) before your flight to connect at no charge.
