The HK Express Airbus A321neo carries 236 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 1C, 1D, 18A, 18B, 18C, 18D. Another 8 seats are rated best or good. Look for 18 extra-legroom seats for the most room.
Seats rated avoid on this map are 1A, 1B, 1E, 1F, 2A, 2B. Another 17 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
The cabin layout is the same single-class 3-3 economy, but the neo has newer, quieter engines and a fresher interior. The seat map plays out much like the standard A321; the difference is a calmer ride rather than a different seat product.
The exit rows have the most legroom on the aircraft and suit taller travellers, usually for a fee. As with any exit row, expect limited or no recline, so they are better for sitting up than settling in to sleep.
The forward rows reach the main door first and clear the fastest, which counts more on this longer-bodied aircraft where the back rows face the slowest exit. If you have a connection or just want out promptly, book toward the front.
The last rows beside the rear galley and lavatories draw the most noise and passenger traffic, and the back row tends to have reduced recline. On this stretched cabin they also mean the longest wait to disembark, so a forward or mid-cabin row is the safer pick.
