Vueling A319 Seat Selection Guide (2026)
The A319 is the smallest aircraft Vueling flies and, seat for seat, the most comfortable. 144 seats across 24 rows, and the front ten of those rows are drawn at roughly 31 to 32 inches of pitch — on a carrier whose A321neo runs at about 28.
Here is the part worth knowing before you pay for anything. Vueling sells Space Plus in rows 2, 3 and 4 and describes it as up to 10% more space. Rows 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are pitched exactly the same. They are not Space Plus, they are not priced as Space Plus, and the extra legroom is identical. The cabin does not actually get tighter until row 11, where it drops by about four inches and stays there for the rest of the flight.
✈️ Quick Verdict
Aircraft: Airbus A319-112, 144 seats, all Economy, 3-3 layout, rows 1–25 with no row 13
Version lottery: No — all six A319s share one 144-seat layout. The lottery is which Vueling type you get at all.
Best seats: 6A and 6F (front-cabin pitch plus the best window), 10A and 10F (exit row), 8A and 8F
Seats to avoid: 25A–25F (last row, no recline, lavatory and galley), 24A–24F (lavatory behind), 9A/9B/9E/9F (front pitch, no recline)
Pitch: about 31–32in rows 1–10, about 28in rows 11–25. IFE: None. Power: Not fitted. WiFi: Paid, still being rolled out.
The front ten rows — and where Space Plus stops
Vueling's published seat products are consistent across the fleet:
| Product | Where on the A319 | Vueling's claim | Measured pitch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Space One | Row 1 | Up to 20% more space | Bulkhead — deep, but no underseat storage |
| Space Plus | Rows 2–4 | Up to 10% more space | About 31–32in |
| Space | Exit row 10 | +20% more space | Deeper again than rows 2–9 |
| No product | Rows 5–9 | — | About 31–32in — identical to Space Plus |
| Standard | Rows 11–25 | — | About 28in |
Row spacing in the cabin drawing is flat from row 2 all the way to row 9 and then steps down sharply at row 11. Rows 5 to 9 give you every inch that Space Plus gives you. The only things Space Plus adds are the bundled bags, the priority boarding and the exclusive overhead lockers — which may well be worth the money. The legroom is not what you are buying.
Row 9: the deep pitch that doesn't recline
Row 9 sits directly in front of the overwing exit at row 10, and that has consequences that are invisible on a booking map. 9A, 9B, 9E and 9F cannot fully recline because the exit path behind them has to stay clear. They still have the full front-cabin pitch, so they look like the best cheap seats on the aircraft.
9C and 9D are unaffected. The two aisle seats in row 9 keep the deep pitch and keep the recline — the best-value pair of seats on the A319 if you do not need a window.
Row 10: the exit row
The A319 has a single overwing exit pair, so unlike Vueling's A320s and A321s there is only one exit row to argue about. Row 10 gets extra legroom on top of the already-deep front cabin, and every seat in it reclines normally — the row behind is a standard row, not another exit.
10A and 10F are the best window seats on the aircraft if you are willing to pay: maximum legroom, full recline, and two windows each. Note the usual exit-row rules — no bags at your feet during take-off and landing, and you need to be willing and able to operate the door.
Windows: which A and F seats line up
A319 window spacing and seat spacing do not track each other, and the mismatch grows down the cabin.
- Best-aligned windows: 2A, 2F, 4A, 4F, 6A, 6F, 16A, 16F, 19A, 19F, 22A, 22F
- Window set behind the seat — lean back to see out: 11A, 11F, 15A, 15F, 18A, 18F
- Two windows each: 1A, 1F, 3A, 3F, 5A, 5F, 7A, 7F, 10A, 10F, 14A, 14F, 17A, 17F, 20A, 20F, 23A, 23F
6A and 6F are the pick of the aircraft. Front-cabin pitch, the best-aligned window, well clear of the galley at the front and the exit-row recline restriction behind.
The back three rows
- Row 23 — near the rear lavatory. Queuing traffic and noise across all six seats, but no worse than that.
- Row 24 — immediately adjacent to the lavatory door. All six seats rate as seats to avoid.
- Row 25 — the last row. No recline at all, the lavatory directly behind, and the rear galley behind 25C and 25D. This is the worst row on the aircraft, even though 25A and 25F happen to have well-aligned windows.
Row 1: what Space One actually gets you
Row 1 has real space in front of it, and it is the fastest way off the aircraft. It also carries every bulkhead penalty: no underseat storage, so anything you want in flight goes in the overhead bin; a tray table that folds out of the armrest, which narrows the effective seat; the forward lavatory ahead of 1A to 1C; and the galley ahead of 1C to 1F.
1C is the pick of the row. The bulkhead ahead of it covers only about 65% of the space, leaving stretch room to the right that nobody else in row 1 has.
Quick-pick summary
| Traveller | Pick | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Best seat, not paying up | 6A or 6F | Front-cabin pitch, best-aligned window, no Space Plus premium |
| Maximum legroom | 10A or 10F | Exit row, full recline, two windows |
| Aisle, best value | 9C or 9D | Deep front-cabin pitch and, unlike 9A/9B/9E/9F, full recline |
| Couple | 5A + 5B or 7A + 7B | Front pitch, two windows, standard price |
| Off the aircraft fast | 1C or 1D | Space One, aisle, first out of door 1 |
| Cheapest acceptable | 16A, 16F, 19A, 19F, 22A or 22F | Standard pitch, but the only aligned windows behind row 11 |
| Never | Rows 24 and 25 | Lavatory adjacency, and row 25 does not recline at all |
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Space Plus worth paying for on the Vueling A319?
Not for the legroom. Rows 5 to 9 are pitched the same as the Space Plus rows 2 to 4. Space Plus also bundles an overhead bag, priority boarding and exclusive lockers, so it can still be worth it — just not because of the seat.
What is the seat pitch on Vueling's A319?
About 31 to 32 inches in rows 1 to 10 and about 28 inches from row 11 back. The step down happens in one go at row 11 — there is no gradual taper.
Which seats do not recline?
Row 25, the last row, has no recline at all. 9A, 9B, 9E and 9F cannot fully recline because they sit in front of the overwing exit. 9C and 9D are fine.
Where is the exit row on the A319?
Row 10. The A319 has a single overwing exit pair, so there is only one exit row — unlike Vueling's A320s and A321s, which have two and where the choice between them matters.
Is there a row 13?
No. The numbering runs 1 to 12 and then 14 to 25, so the aircraft has 24 physical rows and 144 seats.
Does the A319 have WiFi, power or screens?
No entertainment screens and no in-seat power. WiFi is a paid product and is still being fitted across the fleet, so it may not be available on the aircraft you get.
