This version of the British Airways Airbus A321 is used on many European routes, and has a convertible cabin layout for flexibility in accommodating different numbers of Business-class passengers.

In the most common configuration, the first three to four rows are used as Club Europe Business class. Rarely does the Club Europe class extend beyond row eight. The rows immediately behind are sold as standard Economy class seats. Any seat in these rows, up to row 17, are excellent choices if you have an economy-class ticket.

Do keep in mind that when these rows are used for economy class, the middle 'B" and 'E" seats are converted back to passenger use. Due to the construction and design, there are more seams and less padding in these middle seats, making them less comfortable, with the only benefit of the slightly increased legroom.

Also note that the middle seat on the row immediately behind the movable divider is never sold, so knowledgeable passengers will ask the gate agents to move them to this first row if possible.
