Business class may accommodate 20 passengers on comfortable flat bed seats. There are 4 rows of seats in the business class: 3 of them have 3-3-3 configuration and one row has 2-2 configuration.

The noise from the lavatories and galleys located in front and lack of floor storage during take-off and landing are the main disadvantages of the seats of the 1st row.

The galleys are also the disadvantage of the seats 3DG and 4C, 4H.

Economy class is divided from the seats of business class with an exit row. Economy class may accommodate 276 passengers. These seats are divided into two sections.

First section of economy class seats contains 20 rows that have 3-3-3 configuration.

The seats of the 15th row are considered good seats because they offer extra legroom to passengers. 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. Another disadvantage of the seats 15C, 15DFG and 15H is proximity of the lavatory. Air Europa designates the seats 15DFG as XL Economy class seats to book which extra fee must be paid.

Second section of economy class seats is located behind another exit row. Thanks to this exit row passengers of the seats of the 40th row will feel comfortable because these seats provide additional space for their legs. However, reduced width, no floor storage during take-off and landing and location of the lavatories in front may be bothersome. An extra fee must be paid to book the seats 40DFG because these seats are designated as XL seats.

The main disadvantage of the seats 47A and 47K are missing windows.

As there are no seats behind the seats 49C and 49H are often bumped by other passengers and crew members passing by.

Lavatories located behind are the only disadvantage of the seats 50D and 50G.

Limited recline and noise from the galleys and lavatories located behind make the seats 50AC, 50HK and 51DFG bad seats.
