Avoid 1A, 1B, 1C (Tray table in armrest — no seatback ahead); 1D, 1E, 1F (No underseat storage — bulkhead in front); 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F (Near galley (ahead)); 31A, 31B, 31C, 31D (Near lavatory (behind) — some queuing traffic…); 31E, 31F (Near galley (behind) — expect noise and bright…); 32B, 32C (Immediately adjacent to lavatory (behind)…)
Newer, more efficient engines that are meaningfully quieter — a big deal for the airline, almost invisible from the seat. Same Economy, no seatback screens, no power. The cabin's a little quieter and the air a touch better from newer systems, but the seat is the seat; new engines and wingtips don't change that.
Same plan as the A320 — forward rows for a quick exit, window or aisle over the middle, exit rows only where the pitch actually differs on the specific map. The quieter cabin makes the rear a little less punishing, but it's still the back.
The rear is still louder and further from the doors, and the middle seat is still a squeeze. The neo's gains help the airline's economics more than your comfort — don't expect a different ride just because it's newer.
Most passengers notice the slightly reduced cabin noise and marginally smoother ride, particularly on climb. The seat product and cabin amenities are essentially the same, so the improvement is in the airframe rather than the service.
Exit rows typically do not recline — or recline less than standard rows — because they sit adjacent to emergency exit doors. That's the trade Jetstar passengers make for the extra legroom, and it matters more on longer sectors than short hops.
Standard rows throughout the cabin have consistent pitch; the front and rear don't inherently differ in legroom unless they happen to be a designated exit or bulkhead row. The distinction is really about proximity to the exits and lavatories rather than any physical difference in the seats.
