Avoid 36A, 36B, 36J, 36K (Seat may not fully recline — exit row behind requires clear path); 52A, 52B, 52C, 52H, 52J, 52K (Near lavatory (behind) — some queuing traffic and noise); 53A, 53B, 53C, 53H, 53J, 53K, 54A, 54B, 54C, 54H, 54J, 54K (Immediately adjacent to lavatory (behind) — expect noise, odors, and queuing traffic)
The China Southern Airbus A320 carries 152 passengers across Business + Economy. 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 37A, 37B, 37C, 37H, 37J, 37K. Another 20 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit rows 37, 38 and 6 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 36A, 36B, 36J, 36K, 52A, 52B. 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.
It is a real cabin. The front rows are a wider two-by-two recliner set apart from Economy, not a standard seat with the middle left empty. That is more generous than most short-haul domestic Business, though the seat reclines rather than lies flat.
The rows tucked against the rear galley and lavatories collect the most noise and passenger traffic, so give them a miss if the map lets you. Middles in the six-across block, with no window or aisle to lean on, are the least rewarding on a busy service.
Start with the over-wing exit rows, which carry the most stretch space and are marked on the seat map. Failing those, a window or aisle near the front of Economy keeps you both quiet and quick to board, while the tail rows sit under the galley and lavatories.
