A319 Window Seats
We're planning on going to Malaga on one of BA's A319s. Does anyone know which 'window seats', well to the rear, actually line up with a window, such that your head doesn't need to be twisted at 90 degrees to look out of it? It looks as if something around 20-24 might be the right area. Any advice most welcome.

Maybe I didn't put that quite right. A useful window needs to be roughly where you'd be looking with your head at perhaps 30 degrees from dead ahead. A window at 90 degrees will ensure a seriously cricked neck, or a twisted waist. It's a shame that sites like Seat Guru don't show where the windows are as well as the seats.

If it helps, BA's A319 seat pitch up the back end is 29". Windows on the A319 are spaced 21" apart, so roughly 1 window in 4 will be approximately where you want. If you study BA A319 photos on !!!!!!!!!!!!!! you should be able to work out which rows those are.
I wouldn't advise Rows 24-25 as I understand those seats are narrower (and Row 25 has no window at all!).

There are a variety of A319 configurations in terms of rows. I don't know if BA's are all the same. On Brussels Airlines it was row 22 (right) and row 23 (left). As a rough guide, yes it is around that 22/23/24 mark but it can vary.

Yes, my remarks were purely related to BA's A319s, and specifically the C40Y83 configuration used on European routes rather than the Y132/Y143/Y144 UK domestic layouts.

I never talk to the person next to me! You can be lucky and talk to someone really interesting and the flight flies by. Or, in 99% of cases, the person is a bore and doesn't want to stop talking making the flight last an eternity!
