The Air New Zealand Airbus A320neo carries 165 passengers across Economy only. Seats are 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 neo's LEAP or PW1000G engines produce meaningfully less cabin noise than the classic A320's CFM56 or IAE V2500, particularly on approach when engines spool back. Passengers sensitive to engine noise tend to notice the difference on sectors over an hour.
Yes — the fuselage dimensions are unchanged, so seat width, aisle width, and the three-three layout are identical to the classic A320. The key differences are external: engines, winglets, and fuel burn.
Seat selection fees depend on the fare type purchased. Standard Economy fares typically allow free seat selection at check-in, with preferred rows — such as exit rows — available for a fee at booking. Check Air New Zealand's current fare conditions at the time of booking.
