Economy class offers 159 seats. First 2 rows of the economy class are located before the first exit row. Recline of the seats of the 7th row may be limited because of the exit row located behind.

Passengers of the seats of the 8th row will take advantage of additional legroom. However, these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing. Anyway, these seats are considered good seats as well as the seat 9 that also features extra legroom. Among disadvantages of this seat: reduced width because of the tray tables located in armrests and lack of floor storage during take-off and landing.

However, there are some disadvantages: as the tray tables and TV displays are built-in the armrests making them immovable and thus reducing the width, also these seats have no floor storage during take-off and landing. Lavatories located in front is one more disadvantage of the seats 21BC.

The main disadvantage of the seat 32C is proximity of the lavatory.

Limited recline, reduced personal space and noise from the lavatory area located behind make the seats 32DEF and 33ABC bad seats.
