No standout or problem seats in this cabin.
Avoid 38A, 38B, 38J, 38K (Seat may not fully recline — exit row behind requires clear path); 54A, 54B, 54C, 54H, 54J, 54K (Near lavatory (behind) — some queuing traffic and noise); 55A, 55B, 55C, 55H, 55J, 55K, 56A, 56B, 56C, 56H, 56J, 56K (Immediately adjacent to lavatory (behind) — expect noise, odors, and queuing traffic)
The China Southern Airbus A320 carries 160 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 31A, 31B, 31C, 39A, 39B, 39C. Another 12 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit rows 39, 40 and 6 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 38A, 38B, 38J, 38K, 54A, 54B. 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 most legroom, with the map showing which seats they are. Otherwise a window or aisle toward the front of Economy pairs a quieter ride with an earlier exit, well away from the rear galley and lavatories.
It is a genuinely wider two-by-two recliner, set apart from Economy rather than a normal seat with the middle removed. It reclines but does not lie flat, yet the seat itself is bigger than anything in Economy.
Give the last rows by the rear galley and lavatories a miss where you can, since they gather the most noise and traffic. A middle with no window or aisle is the weakest pick in Economy when the flight is full.
