Viva Aerobus Airbus A320ceo Seat Selection Guide (2026)
Quick Verdict
Aircraft: Airbus A320ceo — 180 seats, one cabin, 33 aircraft — Viva’s most common type
Layout: 3-3, A B C | D E F, rows 1–30, every row full
Version lottery: No — one cabin plan
Best seats: row 13 — exit-row legroom and a full recline, all six rated green
Seats to avoid: rows 29 and 30 — all twelve red, against the lavatories · row 12 — legroom without the recline · row 11 — no recline, no legroom
Lavatories: three — one forward, two aft
IFE: none · Wi-Fi: being fitted across the fleet
The trap: row 12 or row 13
Viva puts a full row at each pair of overwing exits on the A320ceo: rows 12 and 13. Both are drawn about a fifth further from the row ahead than the rest of the cabin, and both carry the extra legroom.
Row 12 cannot fully recline, because row 13 behind it has to keep a clear path to the exit. Row 13 reclines normally, and all six of its seats are rated green. Row 11, in front of row 12, takes the same restriction with standard legroom.
| Row | Legroom | Recline | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| 11 | Standard | Restricted | Yellow |
| 12 | Exit row | Restricted | Yellow |
| 13 | Exit row | Full | Green, all six |
The back two rows
Two lavatories stand directly behind the last row, and on this aircraft they cost two full rows. All twelve seats in rows 29 and 30 are rated red. Row 30 does not recline, and 30C and 30D have the rear galley behind them too. Row 28 catches the lavatory queue.
30A and 30F have some of the best-aligned windows on the aircraft, and it does not rescue them. If you are in the back half, stop at row 27 — 27A and 27F are green.
This is the main difference from Viva’s A320neo, where only the last row carries the penalty.
The front row
Row 1 is the bulkhead. It has legroom, but no underseat storage and the tray table in the armrest, with the forward lavatory in front of 1A–1C and the galley in front of 1C–1F. All six are rated yellow. 1D has a partial bulkhead with extra room on its left, which makes it the pick of the row.
Windows
Every seat on the A320ceo has a window beside it. What varies is whether it lines up.
| Window seats | What you get |
|---|---|
| 3A/F, 8A/F, 18A/F, 21A/F, 24A/F, 27A/F | Well-aligned window, rated green |
| 2A/F, 7A/F, 14A/F, 17A/F, 20A/F, 23A/F, 26A/F | Window set behind the seat — lean back to see out |

Frequently asked questions
What is the best seat on the Viva Aerobus A320ceo?
Any seat in row 13. It is the second overwing exit row, with extra legroom and a full recline, and all six seats are rated green.
Does row 12 recline on the Viva A320ceo?
Not fully. Row 12 has exit-row legroom, but row 13 behind it must keep a clear path to the exit. Row 11 has the same restriction without the legroom.
Which rows should I avoid at the back?
Rows 29 and 30. All twelve seats sit against the rear lavatories and are rated red, and row 30 does not recline. Row 28 catches the queue.
Is the A320ceo different from Viva’s A320neo?
It has six fewer seats and the same exit rows, 12 and 13. The difference is at the back: on the ceo the last two rows are rated red, on the neo only the last row carries the penalty. No ceo seat is windowless; the neo has two.
Does the Viva A320ceo have Wi-Fi?
Viva is fitting satellite Wi-Fi across its fleet, but not every aircraft has it yet. There are no seatback screens.
