Seat Selection Overview

The Airbus A319-100 is the smallest member of the A320 family, seating around 120–156 passengers. It's used by major carriers on thinner domestic routes and some transatlantic routes. The 3-3 economy layout is the same as the A320, but with fewer total rows. Seat selection advice is similar: exit rows, forward positions, windows.

Best Seats on the A319-100

• Exit row seats (typically 2 sets): A319-100 usually has 2 exit rows providing extra legroom. Because the aircraft is smaller, exit row seats sell out faster — book early.
• Forward window seats (A & F, rows 1–8): Fewer total rows mean the front rows are proportionally more valuable — quickest boarding and deplaning on a small aircraft.

Seats to Avoid on the A319-100

• Last 2 rows: Proximity to lavatory, limited recline. The A319's smaller cabin means the rear galley is very close to rear passengers.

Pro Tips

• United uses A319-100s on thinner routes (50–90-minute flights). On short hops, seat selection matters less — just pick window or aisle.
• American's A319 fleet is among the oldest in their fleet — expect older interiors. American's A320 and A321 fleets have been upgraded more recently.
