Air France operates 5 versions of Airbus A320.

First cabin version operated by Air France on the routes to African and Middle East countries. It may transport up to 165 passengers depending on configuration that may vary: business class may have up to 26 seats or less.

This version has 2 classes of seats: business and economy.

Business class may accommodate 26 passengers. All middle seats here are not sold in such a way providing additional space and privacy to passengers of these seats.

The seats of the 1st row, 1AC have limited space for passengers legs. Among other disadvantages: close location of the lavatories and bassinet location.

Passengers of the seats 2DF will take advantage of extra legroom. These seats are good seats. Passengers traveling with infants are often seated here as these seats have bassinet location.

Business class is separated from the seats of economy class with a movable curtain making possible various configurations.

Economy class has 126 seats that are located in 21 rows and have 3-3 configuration.

The main disadvantage of the seats of 10th row is limited recline as exit row is located behind.

As the seats of the 11th row are located between two exit rows on the one hand they have extra space for passengers’ legs but on the other hand they are less reclining.

The best seats in the economy class are the seats of the 12th row. Passengers of these seats will feel comfortable thanks to extra legroom.

The seats 28ABC and 29ABC are standard seats of the economy class but these seats are often reserved for crew members.

The seats 29DEF are considered bad seats as they may be not reclining. Proximity of the lavatories will also cause discomfort.

Second cabin version may accommodate 160 passengers that may have seats in one or two classes depending on the tickets sold.

Premium economy class may have no seats or maximum 10 seats that are located in three classes. The middle seats here are left empty and turned into tables. The main disadvantage of the seats 1A and 1C is limited legroom because of the bulkhead position. The seats 2D and 2F on the contrary have extra space for passengers legs.

Behind a movable curtain economy class seats are located.

Because of the exit row located behind, the seats of the 11th row may have limited recline. For the same reason the seats of the 12th row may be less reclining as well. But at the same time these seats have extra space for passengers legs as another exit row is located in front.

Passengers of the seats of 14th row will feel comfortable thanks to extra space for their legs. These seats are considered good seats.

The seats of the last 29th row are bed seats as they may have no recline and other passengers tend to gather in this area while waiting to visit lavatories causing discomfort to passengers of these seats.

This version of Airbus A320 operated by Air France may accommodate 150 passengers in two classes.

Business class may transport up to 30 passengers with middle seats left empty and converted into tables.

The seats of the first row have less space for passengers’ legs. The seats 2A and 2F on the contrary provide extra legroom. Passengers with babies are often seated here as these seats have bassinet location.

There are 120 standard seats in the economy class. These seats are located in 20 rows and have 3-3 configuration.

The seats of the 10th row are less reclining because of the exit row behind.

The seats of the 11th row are located between two exit rows. That is why these seats have extra space for passengers’ legs and at the same time these seats do not recline.

The best seats in the economy class are the seats of the 12th row. Passengers of these seats will take advantage of extra legroom. Air France designates these seats as Seats Plus. An extra fee should be paid to reserve these seats.

The seats of the last 29th row are considered bed seats as these seats do not recline and are located close to lavatories.

The fourth version of Airbus A320 operated by Air France offers 158 seats. Depending on the demand all these seats may be either of economy class or may be divided into two classes: business and economy.

This airplane may offer 32 seats of business class. The middle seats in the business class are not sold and are turned into tables. So, the seats of business class take first 8 rows of seats per 4 seats in each.

Passengers of the seats of the 1st row will take advantage of extra legroom. These seats are considered the best seats. But as the tray tables are in the armrests the width of these seats is reduced a little. Also these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing.

All 126 seats of the economy class have 3-3 configuration.

The armrests of all C seats of the economy class cannot be raised.

The seats of the economy class that are located directly behind business class, i.e. the seats of the 9th row have no storage during take-off and landing and are a little narrower than standard because of tray tables that are located in the armrests making them immovable.

Limited recline is the main disadvantage of the seats of the 10th row.

As the seats of the 11th row are located between two exit rows, these seats offer extra space for passengers’ legs but at the same time they do not recline. The seats 11BC and 11DE are designated by Air France as Seat Plus to reserve which an extra fee must be paid.

Thanks to the exit row located in front the seats of the 12th row have extra legroom. These seats are considered the best seats of the economy class and are also designated as Seat Plus. So, passengers will have to pay additional fee to book these seats.

The noise from the lavatories located behind and people that are waiting to use these lavatories will cause inconvenience to passengers of the seats 29C, 29D and to passengers of the seats of the 30th row.

The fifth version of Airbus A320 is the most common in Air France. It is used during internal flights.

This airplane may transport 178 passengers in single economy class.

Passengers of the seats 2ABC will feel comfortable thanks to extra space for their legs. These seats are considered good seats.

The seats 12BC, 12DE, 14DC and 14DE are also good seats as they have extra legroom thanks to exit rows located in front.

The windows seats of the 12th and 14th row, i.e. the seats 12A, 12F and 14A, 14F have extra space for passengers’ legs but have no windows-side armrests that may cause discomfort.

As there is no seat behind, the seat 30C is often bumped by other passengers and crew members passing by.
