Seats rated avoid on this map are 22A, 22B, 22C, 22D, 22E, 22F. Another 15 seats are rated avoid. These are usually the back rows near the galley and lavatories, or middle seats with no window or aisle.
Iberia has invested in a proper transatlantic Business product for the XLR — the window-only layout with individual seats on each side suggests a meaningful level of privacy and seat width beyond the short-haul blocked-middle product. Whether the seat is fully flat depends on the specific fit-out Iberia has chosen; check Iberia's product page for the definitive seat specification before booking a long-haul sector.
The three-three Economy layout means narrower seats and a tighter aisle than a widebody twin-aisle. On a seven-to-eight-hour transatlantic sector that difference is real. The A321XLR makes the route viable at lower fares; the widebody is the more comfortable tube. It comes down to whether the price saving justifies the comfort trade-off.
Exit rows are the top priority for legroom on a long sector in a narrowbody Economy cabin. After that, front Economy rows are preferable for faster deplaning and distance from the rear galley bustle. On a seven-plus-hour flight, the middle seat in three-three is an uncomfortable commitment — avoid it if at all possible.
