Juneyao Airlines A320neo — Seat Selection Tips (156-seat layout)

Total Rows: 56
Economy Class: Rows 31–56 (3 seats on each side, single aisle)

Key Seat Tips

  • Window seats (A, K)
    Best for views, great for photography or cloud watching.
  • Extra legroom seats
    • Row 31: First row in economy, more spacious legroom, plus double windows.
    • Rows 38–39: Exit rows, generous leg space, good visibility.
  • View considerations
    • Rows 36–43 are over the wing — views may be blocked and noise slightly higher.
    • “Perfect window” rows: 32, 34, 37, 41, 44, 47, 50, 53, 56 (may vary slightly by aircraft).
  • Seats to avoid
    • Row 56: Last row, directly in front of lavatories — possible smell and passenger movement.

Sunrise & Sunset Viewing Tips

  • North to South flights (e.g., Shanghai → Singapore):
    • Morning: Choose left side (A seat)
    • Evening: Choose right side (K seat)
  • South to North flights (e.g., Singapore → Shanghai):
    • Morning: Choose right side (K seat)
    • Evening: Choose left side (A seat)

Why Travellers Love the A320neo

  • Fuel & noise efficiency: Around 15% less fuel burn and up to 50% less noise than older A320s.
  • Better comfort: New “Sharklet” wing design and wider overhead bins.
  • Flexible routes: Perfect for connecting Singapore to major Asian cities.

Summary

The comfort of an A320neo seat depends heavily on the airline’s cabin layout.
For short-haul travellers from Singapore, we recommend:

  • For more legroom: Row 31 or exit rows (38–39).
  • For the best view: Window seats in “perfect window” rows.
  • For a quieter ride: Avoid overwing seats and those near the lavatories.

Choose wisely, and your A320neo journey will be much more enjoyable.
