Aeroitalia

Aeroitalia is a young Italian carrier that has grown quickly around domestic and short-haul European flying, connecting cities like Rome, Milan and the islands with a mix of jets and turboprops. It positions itself as a straightforward point-to-point airline rather than a full-service network carrier, so the cabins are built for efficient single-class travel.

The fleet spans the Boeing 737-800 for denser routes, the ATR 72-600 turboprop for shorter regional legs, and Embraer E175 and E190 jets for thinner city pairs. Whatever the aircraft, the seating logic stays the same: one cabin, one product, and a seat choice that comes down to legroom, window alignment, and how quickly you want off.

The 737-800 is the workhorse for higher-demand routes and carries the most seats, so it also offers the widest spread of choices across the cabin. The ATR 72-600 handles the short regional hops where a turboprop makes sense, with a smaller cabin and a lower row count. The Embraer E175 and E190 sit in between, single-aisle jets that suit medium-density routes.

Across all four types the layout is single-class economy, so there is no separate premium cabin to weigh up. Your decision is about position within one cabin rather than which cabin to buy.

Every Aeroitalia aircraft flies a single economy cabin, which keeps the choice simple. The trade-offs are the familiar short-haul ones: extra legroom at the exit rows and bulkhead, less recline directly ahead of an exit, and the usual noise and traffic near the galleys and lavatories at the cabin ends.

On the ATR turboprop the propellers sit level with the middle of the cabin, so seats away from the wing line run quieter. On the jets, window alignment is the thing to check, since a handful of rows miss a window or sit half-blocked by the frame.

For most passengers the strongest seats are the exit rows and any bulkhead position, where the extra legroom is worth asking for on a full flight. If you want a quick exit, sit forward; if you want quiet, avoid the rows next to the galley and lavatory at either end.

On the ATR 72-600, seats ahead of the wing and propeller line tend to be calmer. On the E175, E190 and 737-800, check the seat map for window alignment before you lock in a window seat, because a few rows sit off the glass.
