Part of the Delta A330 guide, which compares the A330-200, A330-300 and A330-900neo. Sister guides: Delta A330-200 and Delta A330-900neo.
The catch: the window seat with no window
The A330-300 is the larger of Delta’s two older A330s, and like the A330-200 it has lie-flat Delta One seats without doors — only the A330-900neo has Suites. 282 seats and an economy cabin running to row 59 means you are on this aircraft.
The trap is in the last row of Delta One. 9A and 9J have no window at all, and row 9 backs onto the galley. Four rows further forward, 5A to 8A and 5J to 8J have the best windows in the cabin, at the same fare.
Delta announced in April 2026 that its A330-200s and A330-300s will be refitted with Delta One Suites with sliding doors, with the first aircraft expected in early 2027 and the A330-200s going before the A330-300s. Until then, every Delta A330-200 and A330-300 flies the layout in this guide. When the refit arrives, Delta One on the seat map will say “Suites”.
Delta One (rows 1–9)
34 lie-flat seats in a single cabin, 1-2-1 reverse herringbone, direct aisle access, no doors. Row 1 is the C–G centre pair only, behind the forward lavatories. Window seats angle toward the window.
Best Delta One seats
- 5A, 6A, 7A, 8A, 5J, 6J, 7J, 8J — the best-aligned windows, mid-cabin.
- 2A–4A, 2J–4J — good window seats nearer the front.
- 3C/3G through 8C/8G — centre pairs for two.
Delta One seats to avoid
- 9A and 9J — no window. The last row, with the galley behind.
- 9C, 9G — galley directly behind: noise and light during meal service.
Premium Select (rows 20–22)
21 recliners in 2-3-2 at about 38in of pitch, with a leg rest. Row 20 is the bulkhead; bassinets mount at 20B, 20C, 20G and 20H.
Best Premium Select seats
- 21A/21B, 21H/21J — pairs with a seat in front and floor storage.
- 20A, 20J — bulkhead legroom and a great window, but next to the bassinet seats.
Premium Select seats to avoid
- 20B, 20C, 20G, 20H — bassinet positions with no floor storage.
- Row 22 — the Comfort+ bassinets mount directly behind.
Comfort+ (rows 30–32)
Delta sells Comfort+ at about 34in with 7in of recline. On the A330-300, rows 31 and 32 measure about 35in, an inch more than sold.
Best Comfort+ seats
- Rows 31 and 32 — every seat rates well: about 35in, a seat in front, floor storage.
- 30A, 30J — window seats at the bulkhead with about 31in of clear floor to the wall, if you can live without floor storage.
Comfort+ seats to watch
- 30B, 30D, 30H — bassinet positions.
- Row 30 in general — trays in the armrests and no floor storage for take-off and landing.
Main Cabin (rows 33–59)
2-4-2 at about 32in. Four lavatories sit mid-cabin ahead of row 43 and two more behind row 59. Row 42 is window pairs only, and from row 55 the centre block drops to three seats.
Best Main Cabin seats
- Rows 33–39 — clean rows ahead of the lavatories; the window view is over the wing.
- 53A, 53J — about 33in of pitch at no extra cost.
- 55G, 56G — aisle seats with no one beside you as the cabin narrows.
- Rows 45–48 window pairs — a clean stretch of the rear cabin.
Main Cabin seats to avoid
- Rows 41 and 42, and 40D, 40F — the lavatory bank is directly behind.
- Row 43 — the exit row: legroom, but the lavatories are immediately ahead, bassinets at 43C and 43G, and the door curves into 43A and 43J.
- Rows 57, 58 and 59 — the rear lavatories.
- 49J, 51A, 51J, 55J, 57J — poorly aligned windows.
