Behind the exit row 228 seats of the economy class are located. These seats are divided into two sections. First section contains 16 rows of seats. Most of them have 2-4-2 configuration. Because of the bulkhead position the legroom of the seats of the 5th row is reduced.

For passengers traveling with babies these seats offer bassinet locations.

Proximity of the lavatories will represent problem for passengers of the seats 20AB, 20D, 20G, 20JK and 21DEFG. In addition limited recline makes the seats 20AB, 20JK and 21DEFG bad seats.

The second section of economy class seats is located behind the exit row. There are 14 rows of seats here. Passengers of the seats of the 22nd row will take advantage of extra legroom. However, other passengers tend to gather in the area of these seats while waiting to use lavatories thus causing discomfort to passengers of these seats. As the tray tables are built-in the armrests, the width of these seats is reduced a little. These seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing. Also it can get very cold during the flight by the exits.

As there are no seats behind the seats 30D and 30G are often bumped by other passengers passing by and service carts.

Because of the awkward configuration transition of the seats from 4 to 3, the legroom of the seats 31DEF is limited.
