Seat map Airbus A320-200 Air New Zealand. Best seats in the plane

Air New Zealand operates 2 versions of Airbus A320-200.

The major part of Airbus A320 operated by Air New Zealand are used on internal routes.

This airplane has only economy class seats among which are also space plus seats. All seats have 3-3 configuration.

This version of Airbus A320 may accommodate 171 passengers.

First 12 rows are space+ seats. These seats have 34 inches seat pitch . The best seats on the airplane are considered the seats 1ABC and 2DEF. Passengers of these seats will take advantage of extra legroom. However, 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. Passengers travelling with babies are often seated on the seats 2DEF – these seats are the only that offer bassinet locations.

Due to the exit row located behind the seats of the 10th row are less reclining than standard or not reclining at all.

Passengers of the seats of the 11th row will feel comfortable thanks to extra space for their legs. Only protrusion of the exit doors restricts this extra legroom for passengers of the seats 11A and 11F. Also the seats of this row are not reclining due to the exit door located behind and have no floor storage during take-off and landing.

Extra legroom makes the seats of the 12th row good seats. The extra legroom of the seats 12A and 12F is slightly restricted with exit doors. Also these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing.

The seats of the last 29th row are considered bad seats because these seats are not reclining and are located close to the galley and lavatory.

The second version of Airbus A320 is used by Air New Zealand on international routes, including the routes to the Pacific and Australia.

This airplane offers 168 standard seats of economy class.

All rows except the first one have 3-3 configuration.

Extra legroom of the seats 1ABC and 2DEF will provide passengers of these seats with additional comfort. However, as the tray tables are in the armrests making them immovable, the width of these seats is reduced a little.

ABC seats of the rows 3-11 and the seats 4DEF belong to space+ category. These seats have from 3 to 4 extra inches of legroom.

Misaligned windows is the only disadvantage of the seats 9A and 9F.

The seats of the 10th row are not reclining because of the exit row located behind.

As the seats of the 11th row are located between two exit rows, these seats on the one hand have extra space for passengers’ legs but on the other these seats are not reclining.

Passengers of the seats of the 12th row will feel comfortable thanks to the exit row located in front. Protrusion of the exit doors inside restricts extra legroom of the seats 12A and 12F.

Other passengers tend to gather in the area of the seats 27C, 27D and of the seats of the last 28th row while waiting to use lavatories and thus causing discomfort to passengers of these seats. In addition the seats of the 28th row are less reclining than standard or not reclining at all. That is why these seats are considered bad seats.
