⚠️ The trap: four windowless seats with nothing to give them away
28A, 28K, 34A and 34K have no window at all. They sit in the middle of an otherwise ordinary stretch of cabin — no exit door beside them, no galley, nothing on a booking map to suggest anything is different. You pay a window-seat price and face a blank wall for eleven hours. Rows 27, 29, 33 and 35 are the neighbours to book instead.
Business Class — rows 8 to 16
30 lie-flat seats in 1-2-1, lettered B | E G | K. Every seat has direct aisle access, and the B and K seats are angled to face the window. Row 13 does not exist, and row 16 seats only the centre pair, 16E and 16G.
- 8B and 8K — the front row, and the best window alignment in the cabin. 12B and 12K are equally well aligned if you would rather sit further back.
- 16E and 16G — a centre pair on their own at the very back of the cabin, with no seats either side of them. The most private pair on the aircraft for two people travelling together.
- Row 10 has the worst window alignment in the cabin at both 10B and 10K.
- E and G in rows 8 to 15 are the standard centre pairs — good for couples, and both still reach an aisle directly.
Economy Class — rows 20 to 54
310 seats in 3-3-3, lettered A B C | D E G | H J K. Rows 17 to 19 do not exist. This is a dense A350 Economy cabin, and where you sit matters more than usual.
Windowless and misaligned seats
28A, 28K, 34A and 34K have no window. Fourteen more have a window set behind the seat, so you lean back to see out: 23A/23K, 29A/29K, 35A/35K, 39A/39K, 43A/43K, 47A/47K and 51A/51K.
Row 20 — the bulkhead that is not a bargain
Row 20 is the front row of Economy and every seat has extra legroom. But the forward lavatories sit immediately ahead of the side blocks, so 20A, 20B, 20C, 20H, 20J and 20K get the queue, the noise and the door traffic for the whole flight. There is no underseat storage and the tray and screen are in the armrest, which narrows the seat. 20D, 20E and 20G are the three seats in that row worth having, and 20E is the only one of the nine with no lavatory traffic against it at all.
Row 39 — the exit row, and only four seats worth taking
Row 39 sits behind the mid-cabin doors and has extra legroom on all nine seats, but the row is not uniform. 39D, 39E and 39G are the worst three — a lavatory sits immediately ahead of the centre block. 39A and 39K have the exit door curving into part of the legroom and a misaligned window on top of it. That leaves 39B, 39C, 39H and 39J as the seats worth taking in this row.
Rows to avoid
- Row 54 — the last row. Seven seats (A and K are gone), none of which recline. 54D and 54E do at least get extra side space.
- Rows 37 and 38 — the mid-cabin lavatory bank sits behind them. All nine seats in row 37 are affected, and row 38 loses its centre block entirely and has limited recline.
- Row 36 — six of nine seats have lavatory traffic behind.
The best ordinary Economy seats are rows 30 to 33 and 44 to 46 — full recline, no monument ahead or behind, and properly aligned windows.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best seats on the EgyptAir A350-900?
In Business, 8B and 8K at the front, or 12B and 12K — both rows have the best window alignment in the cabin. For two people, 16E and 16G form a centre pair on their own at the back. In Economy, rows 30 to 33 and 44 to 46.
Which EgyptAir A350 seats have no window?
28A, 28K, 34A and 34K. There is nothing on a booking map to indicate it — they sit in an ordinary stretch of cabin. Fourteen more seats have a misaligned window: 23A/23K, 29A/29K, 35A/35K, 39A/39K, 43A/43K, 47A/47K and 51A/51K.
Does every EgyptAir A350 business seat have aisle access?
Yes. The cabin is 1-2-1 with 30 lie-flat seats, so nobody has to climb over anyone. The B and K seats are angled towards the windows; E and G form the centre pairs.
Is row 20 a good choice for extra legroom?
Only 20D, 20E and 20G. The whole row has extra legroom, but the forward lavatories sit immediately ahead of the side blocks, so 20A, 20B, 20C, 20H, 20J and 20K get constant queuing and door noise. The row also has no underseat storage and a narrower seat.
What about the exit row?
Row 39 has extra legroom on all nine seats, but pick carefully. 39D, 39E and 39G have a lavatory immediately ahead, and 39A and 39K have the exit door curving into their legroom plus a misaligned window. 39B, 39C, 39H and 39J are the ones worth taking.
Which rows should I avoid?
Row 54, the last row, has no recline on any of its seven seats. Rows 37 and 38 sit in front of the mid-cabin lavatories, and row 38 loses its centre block and has limited recline throughout.
