The China Southern Airbus A320 carries 166 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 39A, 39B, 39C, 39H, 39J, 39K. Another 12 seats are rated best or good. Look for exit rows 39, 40 and 12 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 38A, 38B, 38J, 38K, 55A, 55B. 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 packs more Economy seats than the airline's roomier A320, while keeping the same small two-by-two Business at the front. Which airframe you draw depends on the route, so the published seat map is the reliable read.
The over-wing exit rows hold the most legroom on this A320, and the map calls out the seat numbers. Beyond those, an aisle or window near the front of Economy blends quiet with an early exit.
The tail rows ahead of the rear galley and lavatories carry the most noise and queueing. A middle seat with no window or aisle is the least comfortable spot in a six-abreast cabin, particularly with a full load.
No. On a single-aisle A320 you get a wider two-by-two recliner that suits sitting rather than sleeping. What you are paying for is the width, the empty middle and an earlier walk down the jet bridge, which is enough on these domestic hops.
