Pegasus A320 Seat Map & Best Seats (2026)

The lottery: the aircraft with more seats has fewer bad ones

Pegasus flies its A320ceo two ways, and the intuitive reading is backwards. The 186-seat plan packs in six more passengers, and yet only two of its seats are ones we would tell you to avoid. The 180-seat plan — the roomier aircraft on paper — has twelve.

The reason is the back of the cabin. On the 180-seat aircraft the rear lavatories sit immediately behind row 29, which puts all twelve seats in rows 29 and 30 hard against a lavatory door: noise, odour and a standing queue for the whole flight. The 186-seat aircraft uses a different aft arrangement that pushes the lavatories back behind row 34, so only the last row takes the hit.

Both plans have the same exit-row trap

Whichever aircraft you get, the two overwing exit rows sit side by side and look identical on the booking map. The forward one of the pair is locked upright to keep the escape path to the aft exit clear. The aft one gets the legroom and a working recline.

The row immediately in front of the pair is locked upright too, with standard legroom and nothing to show for it. That row is the single worst value on either aircraft.

How to tell which one you are on

One glance at the seat map settles it, and you do not need a registration.

• Does the numbering skip rows 12, 13 and 14? If yes, you are on the 186-seat aircraft, and the exit rows are 15 and 16.
• Does the map run to row 30 with every number in sequence? That is the 180-seat aircraft, and the exit rows are 12 and 13.
• Cross-check the last row. Row 34 means 186 seats. Row 30 means 180.

Note that the 186-seat A320ceo is drawn to exactly the same plan as the Pegasus A320neo. If your map skips 12 to 14 and ends at row 34, the aircraft could be either type and it makes no difference to seat choice. The A320neo guide covers the same cabin in more detail.

Row 1 on both aircraft: legroom with strings attached

Row 1 is identical on both plans and Pegasus sells all six seats as extra legroom. There is no underseat storage, because the bulkhead is in front of you. The tray table folds out of the armrest, which narrows the seat by about an inch. And the forward galley and a lavatory sit immediately ahead of the row, so you get service noise and a queue in your eyeline throughout.

1C and 1D are the pick of the six: the bulkhead in front of them covers only about 60 per cent of the row, so both gain a little extra floor space on the open side.

Best seats

• 16A and 16F on the 186-seat, 13A and 13F on the 180-seat — the aft overwing exit row. Extra legroom and a working recline.
• The same row on the aisle — 16C and 16D, or 13C and 13D, for anyone who wants to be first through the mid-cabin exit.
• Rows 18 to 22 on the 186-seat, rows 15 to 19 on the 180-seat — just behind the wing and clear of both galleys.
• Rows 24 to 29 on the 186-seat — the quiet stretch of the aft cabin, well ahead of the rear galley. There is no equivalent on the 180-seat aircraft, where the useful cabin runs out around row 27.

Seats to avoid

• Rows 29 and 30 on the 180-seat aircraft — twelve seats immediately against the rear lavatories, with row 30 fixed upright and the galley alongside. The worst block of seats on either Pegasus A320.
• Row 11 on both — fixed upright, standard legroom. The worst value seat on the aircraft.
• Row 15 on the 186-seat, row 12 on the 180-seat — extra-legroom price, no recline.
• 34A and 34F on the 186-seat — a blank wall where the window should be.
• Row 34 on the 186-seat — fixed upright, rear lavatories behind, galley alongside.
• 17A, 17F, 20A and 20F on the 186-seat; 14A, 14F, 17A and 17F on the 180-seat — windows set behind the seat.

Frequently asked questions

Are there two versions of the Pegasus A320?

Yes. A 186-seat plan on fourteen aircraft, and a 180-seat plan for which no count is published. The difference that matters is at the back: the 180-seat aircraft has twelve seats jammed against the rear lavatories, the 186-seat aircraft has six.

How do I tell which Pegasus A320 I am on?

Look at whether the numbering skips rows 12, 13 and 14. If it does, and the map ends at row 34, you are on the 186-seat aircraft. If the numbers run straight through to row 30, it is the 180-seat one.

Which Pegasus A320 seats should I avoid?

On the 180-seat aircraft, rows 29 and 30 — all twelve seats sit against the rear lavatories. On the 186-seat aircraft, row 34, and specifically 34A and 34F, which have no window. On both, row 11 is fixed upright with standard legroom, and the forward exit row is fixed upright at an extra-legroom price.

Which exit row should I book on the Pegasus A320?

The aft one of the pair — row 16 on the 186-seat aircraft, row 13 on the 180-seat. It has the same legroom as the forward exit row and, unlike it, a seat back that reclines.

Does the Pegasus A320 have seatback screens?

No. Entertainment is streamed to your own phone or tablet on both plans, so bring a charged device and something to prop it up with.

Is the A320neo different from the A320ceo on Pegasus?

For seat choice, only in one case. The A320neo and the 186-seat A320ceo are drawn to the same plan and behave identically. The 180-seat A320ceo is the odd one out, with different row numbering, different exit rows and a much worse rear cabin.
