Aegean Airlines Airbus A320 NEO Seat Map

Picking your seat on Aegean's A320neo

Most of the regret on this aircraft is concentrated in two places: the last row and the row just ahead of the exits. Row 31 (A through F) backs onto the rear lavatories, closet and galley, with no recline and a steady queue beside your shoulder for most of the flight. Row 10 is the other trap — it sits directly ahead of the overwing exits, so 10A through 10F have limited recline while everyone behind them leans back freely.

Business class, rows 1–6

Business is a Euro-style 3-3 cabin with the middle seat blocked and a small fixed table or caddy in its place, so you get elbow room and a spot for a phone rather than a wider seat. The recliner itself is a standard economy shell; the gain over the back is roughly 15 cm of extra pitch, useful but not transformative on a three-hour sector. The empty middle does let you angle your legs sideways, which is how most passengers make peace with it.

Row 1 is the compromise row. 1C and 1D face open floor and get extra stretch-out space, but 1A and 1F have restricted legroom behind the bulkhead structure, and all four lose underseat storage, sit on narrower seats with fixed armrests, and are close to the forward lavatory (A/C side) and galley (D/F side). Rows 2 through 6 are the calmer choice: normal underseat bags, movable armrests, and distance from the door traffic. The one thing to expect anywhere behind row 1 is the seat ahead dropping back without warning.

Power is seatback USB-A only — no AC outlets and no USB-C — so bring the right cable. Business passengers get wifi included.

Forward economy, rows 7–9

These rows deplane quickly through the forward door and sit ahead of the engines, which makes them the quietest part of the economy cabin. Nothing here is flagged as problematic on our map, so it's a straight trade: you're paying with the standard tight pitch that runs through the whole economy cabin, and 7A/7F onward still have clean views ahead of the wing.

Exit rows 11 and 12

Row 12 is the best economy row on the aircraft, full stop for legroom: 12A–12F all get exit-row pitch (measured around 35 inches by frequent flyers) and keep their recline, because the exit is ahead of them rather than behind. Row 11 has the same generous legroom but the seats are fixed upright, which is a fair trade on a two-hour hop and a long night on a four-hour one. Both rows carry the usual exit-row conditions: nothing under the seat in front during taxi, takeoff and landing.

Note that 11A, 11F, 12A and 12F sit over the wing, so the view is mostly grey metal.

Mid-cabin, rows 14–24

Row 14 begins the standard economy block, and pitch here is tight — around 28 inches, which for an average-height passenger leaves roughly two fingers between knee and seatback. Padding is reasonable rather than generous. Rows 14 through 17 remain over the wing, so if the view matters, move back to 18 or beyond; if turbulence bothers you, staying near the wing is the steadier ride.

There are no seatback screens on the neos. Instead, each seat has a phone and tablet holder built into the seatback — genuinely well-designed — and Aegean's streaming service delivers films, newspapers, music and a moving map to your own device. Everyone gets 10 minutes of wifi free, with paid tiers beyond that. The streaming portal can take a while to come up after takeoff, so download something as insurance.

The rear, rows 25–31

Rows 25 through 30 are ordinary economy: same 28-inch pitch, increasing engine noise, slower to clear on arrival through a jet bridge. They're worth choosing only if you're aiming for a bloc of empty seats, which the back of a lightly loaded A320neo sometimes offers.

Row 31 is the one to actively avoid. 31A, 31B and 31C sit against the lavatory; 31D, 31E and 31F face the galley, with cart noise, lights and crew conversation for the duration. Row 30 gives you almost the same position without any of that.
