Avoid 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F (Tray table in armrest — no seatback ahead); 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F (Near galley (ahead)); 11A, 11B, 11E, 11F (Seat may not fully recline — exit row behind requires clear path); 29A, 29B, 29C, 29D, 29E, 29F (Near lavatory (behind) — some queuing traffic and noise); 30A, 30B, 30C, 30D, 30E, 30F, 31A, 31B, 31C, 31D, 31E, 31F (Immediately adjacent to lavatory (behind) — expect noise, odors, and queuing traffic)
The AirAsia Airbus A320 carries 180 passengers across Economy only. 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 12A, 12B, 12C, 12D, 12E, 12F. Another 6 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit rows 12, 14 and 18 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E, 1F. Another 28 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
No. The A320 is a single-class economy cabin in a three-by-three layout. AirAsia instead sells its roomier seats, the extra-legroom rows around the exits and the bulkhead, as a paid Hot Seat upgrade, so the comfort of the trip is largely a matter of which seat you choose to pay for.
Hot Seats are AirAsia's paid seat upgrades: the extra-legroom rows around the over-wing exits and the bulkhead, plus the front rows that board first. They are standard economy seats with more room or a quicker exit rather than a different cabin, and the map flags exactly where they fall.
The last rows near the rear galley and lavatory draw the most noise and queue traffic, so they are best avoided. Middle seats with no window or aisle are the least comfortable in economy, particularly on a full flight.
On a short domestic hop of an hour or so, probably not: you are paying for legroom you will barely use before landing. On the longer regional flights, three hours or more to another country, the exit-row Hot Seats change the trip from a squeeze into something comfortable, and the front-row ones also get you off first on a tight connection. Match the spend to the length of the flight.
Download what you want before you fly and bring your own device, because there are no seat-back screens and onboard connectivity is not something to count on. A charged phone or tablet, headphones and a small battery pack cover it, and pre-ordering a meal at booking is cheaper and faster than buying onboard.
