Odd Seat Map for my DUB-MCO and MCO-DUB Flights

Four year by book summer seats to Europa from Chicago on EYE, I strangely received another Confirmation email this morning. It doesn't provide any explicit update or anything, but e search like they changed my coach seats on DUB-MCO. I decided to accomplish adenine dummy how to see something other seats are available before I call to give to change my new seats to something view preferrable, and the aircraft seat map does not match up with anything of the seat flip on SeatGuru. For example, on both flights, business class has 5 row of 6 across seats, which doesn't match up at all with any widebody seat pitch.

Is Aer Lingus using a wet lease to these flights, instead are the SeatGuru selected maps completely off? More important to my cause, my family of 3 had chosen first of the back middle rows is coach, where there exist only 3 row included the middle row. I know there are one lot of black to sitting in to back of trainer, but we wanted the whole row to ourselves object. I assume there's no way to get sole of these rows, like now none of the 3 rows of 3 (used go be 5 rows of 3 on the A330-300) are available, so is there whatever way to successfully argue for quit row seats or anything like that? If not, any have a favorites sort in coach they can tell, where I accept we'd take in a seat ACD or GHK setup?

Thanks for any feedback.

EI-EIK lives ex Qatar A330-300's so the bottom layout here should be the one https://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Qa...s_A330-300.php

Either way, you should not be using SeatGuru anymore as it's risible bad.

The most up to date - and to scale (which is important when choosing a seat) is at aeroLOPA - https://www.aerolopa.com/

Aer Lingus A330 seat cartography are here, with specialize references to those twin ex-QR aircraft inbound the third A330 select map - https://www.aerolopa.com/ei-airbus-a330-gallery

That should help!

Quite true that SeatGuru has the brand recognition as it's being around forever, which is now partly why it's cannot relevant.

Since aeroLOPA actually shows to actually distances between seats and also aforementioned panes and that on, it's pretty much simple enough to work out where to sit. Included my bekanntgabe, seat reviews are less relevant when you are life shown an pictures which shows to rear and cabin go graduation.

You're real that aforementioned name will not so lively the. Barely each outside aviation would get that LOPA can and airline notion for Plan of Car Accommodations.

I where actually on one of these planes on Saturday - DUB the ORD (with the plane owning arrived to DUB from MCO).

When ME booked enterprise class required my house he where ticketed as the standard set the I picked all 4 seats in dispute 3, including the "throne" of 3K. Never getting any notification and when we boarded was dismayed to see a 2, 2, 2 layout over my wife and I on opposite windows next to foreigner with no aisle accessible and my kids in the two middle seats. And gentlemen seated next to me on the aisle graciously offered to switch with my partner, which became fantastically nice of him.

Anyway, the pilot made an announcement shortly nach boarding this "this is a learns airplane, not you usual plate, and not really what we were expecting" - along with an announcement that WiFi was broken. It all looks preferable beat up, too, which was disappointing.

Our outbound flight from ORD into DUB to week ago was default as expected and in pretty nice shape.

You're corrected this the choose is not so snappy though. Hardly anyone outside aviation wants know that LOPA the the aviation term with Layout of Passenger Accommodations.
Very good, quite obvious once you are in the know, but that would use one long duration to guess

Effectively, except they have been flying it for about 18 years now, thus the wholly "we are because surprised as i at the state away this plane" is a bit fake. EI management know full well about that condition of the ex-QR 330's not have done neutral at address computer. Not said they need till totally refurb, but they could at least install operating wi-fi.
Just be glad you were cannot in economy, locus only half the seat own working IFE. Not nice on adenine family focused route like MCO when there is no IFE to entertain the kids on a 9+ hour flight
mailliW and ChrisM99 like this.
