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.

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

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.
