Jetstar Airbus A321-200
The A321 is a stretched A320: same 3-3 layout, same 29-inch pitch, but the longer fuselage carries around 220 passengers. More seats means more people deplaning, which makes the rear of this aircraft worse than the rear of an A320. It flies Jetstar's busiest domestic routes (Sydney-Melbourne, Brisbane-Cairns) and some short-haul international. The stretched cabin also means a longer walk from the back to the lavatories.
Best Seats on the Jetstar A321-200
Rows 1-5 near the forward exit are more important than ever on the A321, because deplaning 220 people takes time. Exit rows at multiple locations through the cabin (typically rows 13 and 18-19) offer potential legroom, though check the specific seat map. Window seats on scenic routes like Melbourne-Cairns give you coastline views that are worth the window seat trade-off.
Seats to Avoid
Rows 38-48 at the back of the stretched fuselage are a long way from everything. On a full 220-seat flight, deplaning from row 45 takes 15-20 minutes. Engine noise is compounded by the longer cabin creating more echoing. Middle seats in the back third of a full A321 are the worst seats Jetstar offers domestically.
