Frequently asked

Where is the best economy seat on the A330-300?

The forward economy rows are the strongest pick. They sit away from the rear galleys and lavatories, so there is less traffic and noise, and they let you off the aircraft sooner at the end of a long flight. A window in that zone gives you a wall to sleep against as well.

Is the A330-300 Business cabin lie-flat?

SAA flies this widebody with a dedicated long-haul Business seat up front, positioned ahead of the wing in the quietest part of the cabin. Exact recline varies by the seat fitted, so check the seat map for the specific aircraft, but it is a true premium long-haul cabin rather than a domestic recliner.

Do the exit rows have more legroom?

Yes, the exit rows carry noticeably more legroom, which is worth having on a long sector. The trade is that some of those seats do not recline and the armrests are fixed, so if you plan to sleep, weigh the extra space against a backrest that stays upright.

Which economy seats should I avoid on a long flight?

The rows nearest the rear galleys and lavatories gather the most movement, light and noise through the night, and they are the last to clear on arrival. On a long-haul sector that adds up, so a forward or mid-cabin seat away from the service areas is the calmer choice.
