The seats of the 20th row are considered the best seats of this type because passengers of these seats will be able to take advantage of extra space for their legs. However, these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing and are a little reduced in width due to built-in entertainment displays in the armrests.

Economy class offers 226 seats that are divided into 2 sections.

First section consists of 10 rows of seats that have 3-3-3 configuration. Passengers of the seats of the 30th row will feel comfortable thanks to additional space for their legs.

Also, these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing and have slightly reduced width.

The best seats in this section are considered the seats 41A and 41J because they offer additional legroom due to missing seats in front.

Passengers of the seats 17C, 17DEF and 17H will take advantage of extra legroom. However, these seats are narrower than standard and have no floor storage during take-off and landing.

Also the tray tables are in the armrests of these seats making them immovable and thus reducing the width of these seats. Lack of floor storage during take-off and landing is another disadvantage of these seats.

Location of the galley in front, reduced width and lack of floor storage during take-off and landing are the main disadvantages of the seats 31DEF.

The main disadvantage of the seats of the rows 43-44 (except the seat 43E) is proximity of the galleys and lavatories.
