Frequently asked
What are the best seats in British Airways Euro Traveller on LHR-BCN?
Best: Row 12 has 35 inches of pitch, the most generous in the cabin. Rows 2-10 have 30-inch pitch with Collins Pinnacle seats that have more padding and 3 inches of recline. Row 11 has 34-inch pitch. If Club Europe is not full, rows 4-6 in Euro Traveller may use the better Pinnacle seats. Avoid: Rows 13-30 have Recaro SL3510 slimline seats with only 28-29 inches of pitch, no recline, no AC power, and no headrest. Last two rows (29-30) have limited space and are close to both toilets and galley noise. The A320neo has two distinctly different seat types. Rows 1-12 use the more comfortable Collins Pinnacle seats with more padding, headrests, AC power, and 30-inch pitch. Rows 13-30 use slimline Recaro seats with 28-29 inches of pitch, no recline, and only USB-C power. There are no seatback IFE screens; BA offers streaming via the BA app on personal devices. WiFi is available for purchase. The Club Europe / Euro Traveller cabin split is flexible: typically the first 4-8 rows are Club Europe, with the movable divider adjusted per flight based on demand. Total capacity is 180 seats in a single 3-3 layout. Exit row seats on the A320/A321 family offer extra legroom but do not recline. The row immediately before the exit also has limited recline due to clearance requirements.
