The SWISS A321-111 has 219 seats. The standard SWISS cabin layout is 54 Business Class and 183 Economy Class seats.

The mini-cabin on American’s 777-300ER – image from SeatGuru.com. No one ever walks back from First Class and the Business Class lavatories are behind this cabin so there’s very little footfall here – the only people moving around in this area will be the 8 people with seats in this enclave and the flight attendants serving.

Passengers tend to gather while waiting to use lavatories and this may cause discomfort to passengers of the seats 6DG, 7A and 7JK.
Missing windows are the main disadvantage of the seats 8A, 8K and 11A, 11K.
Economy class may accommodate 270 passengers in two sections. Most of the seats in the economy class have 3-4-3 configuration.
The best seats in the economy class are considered the seats 22DEFG, 23BC and 23HJ. These seats offer extra legroom to passengers. However, these seats are narrower than standard as the tray tables are in the armrests making them immovable and have no floor storage during take-off and landing.
Missing windows, reduced width of the seats and lack of floor storage during take-off and landing make the seats 23A and 23K bad seats. On the other hand these seats have extra space for passengers’ legs.

The noise that is coming from the lavatories and galleys will represent problem to passengers of the seats of the 36th row – the last row of the first section.
The second section of economy class seats contains 14 rows of seats.
Passengers of the seats of the 39th row and 40DEFG will feel comfortable thanks to extra legroom. Among disadvantages of these seats: reduced width as the tray tables are built-in the armrests making them immovable, lack of floor storage during take-off and landing and close location of the galley and lavatories.
The seats 50AB and 50JK have limited legroom, reduced width as the tray tables are in the armrests. At the same time these seats have extra storage space.
Proximity of the lavatories may represent problem to passengers of the seats 51AB, 51D, 51G, 51JK and 52DEFG. Also the seats 51AB and 51JK are less reclining than standard. That is why these seats and the seats of the last 52nd row are considered bad seats.
