Book A Hotel

From my experience, Club Europe or Business Class seats on European flights on the British Airways Airbus A319, A320 & A321 are the same in layout (as shown by the pictures below), with the best seats being the front seats across all three plane types. Equally, the best Club Europe seats on the Boeing 767-300 and the Embraer 170 and Embraer 190 are also at the front.

On the British Airways Airbus A319, A320 & A321, the seats are set out in a 3-3 configuration at the front of the plane with the aisle in the middle. The middle seat of each set of 3 is converted into a table area that separates you from your neighbor. This layout means there is extra space in the overhead lockers as there are four people per row rather than the 6 in Euro Traveller (Economy).

I vastly prefer the Club Europe experience over Euro Traveller, although the expense can be difficult to justify without an offer. You can see my thoughts on whether British Airways Club Europe is worth it.

I find that the extra space enables me to work during the flight, and I can happily type away on my laptop without elbowing my neighbor. Therefore, for me, particularly because I often buy Club Europe flights on Avios, it is worth booking Club Europe over the British Airways Economy (Euro Traveller) seating. I get an extra hour or two of work done by booking these seats. I also find the experience less stressful.

What Is The Best Club Europe Seat On The British Airways A320 (& A319 & A321)?

Without a shadow of a doubt, the best seats are in the front row because Club Europe seats have the same limited legroom as the Euro Traveller, is very limited, and I am a 5’7″ female! I prefer window seats, so the best ones are 1A and 1F. These seats are also closest to the exit.

In addition to the extra space, you also get a meal when you fly in Club Europe, but the food in Club Europe is not that great. You can see their vegetarian afternoon tea below.
