Latam A320 Seat Map: Best Seats to Choose & Seats to Avoid!

Updated October 2025:

If you’ve ever flown around South America, you’ve probably met LATAM’s Airbus A320; small cabin, fast turnarounds, and just enough legroom to test your patience. It’s reliable, sure, but comfort really depends on where you sit. Pick the right row and you’ll breeze through the flight; pick the wrong one and you’ll spend two hours wishing you’d packed knee pads. Here’s a straight talking guide to LATAM’s A320 seat map, so you can skip the guessing game and book the best seat before someone else does.

Overview of LATAM A320 Seat Configuration

The LATAM Airbus A320 generally follows a consistent seating arrangement:

1. Premium Economy: Rows 1 to 3 are typically designated as Premium Economy. In this section, the middle seat is blocked, providing additional comfort and privacy. The configuration appears as 3-3 but functions effectively as 2-2 due to the blocked middle seats. 

On some routes, Premium Economy extends to Row 4, but this varies depending on the specific aircraft and route.

2. Economy: The Economy class starts immediately after Premium Economy and extends to Row 30. It follows a 3-3 configuration, meaning three seats on each side of the aisle. This is standard across most LATAM A320 aircraft.

Since the A320 is a narrow-body aircraft, it has just one aisle running the length of the cabin, making it easy to navigate and quick for boarding and deplaning.

Variations and How to Check Your Seat Map

While LATAM’s A320 aircraft generally adhere to the seating layout mentioned above, there are variations in the interior based on the age and fit out of the aircraft. For instance, some of LATAM’s A320 planes might have Premium Economy stretching to Row 4, which can provide even more seating options for passengers looking for extra comfort.

Given these potential variations, it’s crucial for passengers to check their specific seat map on LATAM’s official website at the time of booking. The seat map available on the booking platform will show the exact configuration for your flight, including any variations such as additional rows in Premium Economy or slight changes in seat pitch.

For example, aerolopa (a popular aviation website) shows configurations of the Latam A320 as having only 3 rows of premium economy seats. Whilst searching for a flight from Sao Paulo to Brasilia on the official Latam site, the A320 flying on the 26/09/2024 at 11:20 am had premium economy on the first 4 rows, whilst earlier flights had the first 3 rows.

Here’s what I mean:

Best Seats on the LATAM A320

Premium Economy (Rows 1-3 or 1-4):

• Row 1: This row is often considered the best in Premium Economy due to the additional legroom provided by the bulkhead. It is ideal for taller passengers or those looking for a little extra space. However, these seats might not have under-seat storage in front, meaning personal items need to be stored in the overhead bins during takeoff and landing.

• Rows 2-3 (or 2-4, where applicable): These rows offer a more comfortable experience than standard Economy seats, thanks to the blocked middle seat and additional legroom. They are a great option for passengers who want extra comfort without sitting in the very front.

Economy (Rows 4-30):

• Exit Rows (typically Rows 11 and 12 or Rows 12 and 13): These rows are highly sought after due to the extra legroom they provide, which is significantly more than the standard Economy seats. Passengers seated here have more space to stretch out, making these seats ideal for longer flights or for those who simply prefer more room. However, passengers seated in exit rows must meet specific criteria, such as being physically capable of assisting in an emergency and being willing to do so if needed. Additionally, these seats cannot be pre-selected by passengers who require a child seat or are traveling with pets.
• Rows 4-10: These seats are positioned at the front of the Economy cabin, which can be advantageous for several reasons. They are closer to the Premium Economy section, often receiving food and beverage service earlier. Additionally, being closer to the front means quicker boarding and deplaning, which can be particularly useful for passengers in a hurry or on tight connections. It can only be comforting for travellers who have anxiety.

Seats to Avoid

🚫 Seats to Avoid

• Rows 29–30: Limited recline, constant noise from lavatories and galley traffic.
• Middle Seats: You lose both armrests; enough said 😅
• Windowless Seats: Rare on LATAM’s A320, but always check. Some aircraft have a window seat that has no window! (Looking at you, Lufthansa A340-600 Row 26 👀).

Additional Tips for Choosing Seats on LATAM’s A320

Middle Seats: In general, middle seats in both Premium Economy and Economy are less desirable due to the reduced personal space and lack of easy access to the aisle. When booking, it’s preferable to choose an aisle or window seat for a more comfortable journey.

Checking Seat Maps: As previously mentioned, checking the seat map for your specific flight on LATAM’s official website is the best way to ensure you are getting the seat you want. This is particularly important as LATAM uses several different configurations on its A320 aircraft, and the interior setup can vary depending on the aircraft’s age and newer refurbishments. 

Booking Early: To secure the best seats, especially in Premium Economy or the exit rows, it is advisable to book your flight as early as possible. Popular seats tend to fill up quickly, and booking early increases the chances of finding a seat that suits your preferences.

Summing Up

Flying on a LATAM Airlines A320 can be comfortable — if you choose wisely. Premium Economy offers a solid balance of comfort and value, while exit-row or front-section Economy seats can make a huge difference on longer flights.

For the best balance of comfort and convenience, Row 2A or Row 12A are often the sweet spots (depending on whether you value quiet or legroom).

And a friendly reminder:
✋ Never post your boarding pass online. Those barcodes can reveal your booking details and frequent-flyer number.
