The China Eastern Airlines Airbus A321neo carries 198 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 6C, 7A, 7L, 8A, 8L, 31A. Another 24 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit rows 42, 51 and 18 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 41A, 41B, 41K, 41L, 48A, 48B. Another 34 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
The neo runs newer, quieter engines than the standard A321, so the cabin is calmer aloft. The seating is the same two-by-two Business and six-abreast Economy, so seat choice works the same way, but the ride itself is a touch more comfortable.
Most legroom sits in the over-wing rows, which the map marks. A forward window or aisle in Economy mixes quiet with an early exit, since the rear rows crowd the galleys and lavatories.
For a short sector the two-by-two recliner gives you a wider seat with no middle, and the quieter neo cabin makes it a nicer place to sit than the older A321. You sit in it, so the payoff is the space and the calmer ride rather than sleep.
No. This is a two-cabin narrowbody carrying Business and Economy alone. A dedicated Premium Economy turns up on several of the airline's widebody jets, not on the single-aisle neo fleet.
