Avoid 17A, 17B, 17K, 17L (Seat may not fully recline — exit row behind requires clear path); 33A, 33B, 33C, 33J, 33K, 33L (Near lavatory (behind) — some queuing traffic and noise); 34A, 34B, 34C, 34J, 34K, 34L, 35A, 35B, 35C, 35J, 35K, 35L (Immediately adjacent to lavatory (behind) — expect noise, odors, and queuing traffic)
The Air China Airbus A320 carries 158 passengers across Business + Economy. Power is available on this aircraft. Every seat is rated below, so you can see which have the legroom, the window alignment and the quiet — and which sit next to a galley or lavatory.
The seats rated best on this map are 1C, 2A, 2L, 18A, 18B, 18C. Another 20 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit rows 18, 19 and 6 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 17A, 17B, 17K, 17L, 33A, 33B. Another 16 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
The over-wing exit rows carry the extra legroom, and the map marks them clearly. They are the best Economy pick for space, though you cannot keep bags at your feet during takeoff and landing.
For a domestic hop it buys you a wider two-by-two seat with the middle left empty and a lounge before you board. It is a sit-up seat, so the value is the space and the earlier walk on, not lie-flat sleep.
The very back rows sit next to the rear galley and lavatories, so they catch the most noise and queueing, and some have limited recline. The middle of the Economy cabin is the quieter, more comfortable zone.
Air China flies more than one single-aisle Airbus, including the newer A320neo, and densities can vary. The reliable move is to check the map for your specific flight, since the exact cabin depends on which airframe is rostered.
