I’m all but certain that EI confirmed it will have the same seats as the 757s and A330s (bar -GEY of course). AusBT released an article a while back that claimed ‘HERE IS THE EI A321LR CABIN!’ but it was literally just old photos of the 757. No official renders have been released.

Tenger wrote: » "Best, passenger friendly" I would not agree with that statement. Less cabin space, less overhead storage, smaller toilets, single aisle but at the same price. As for orders, well EI are taking delivery of 14 A321LRs and have expressed interest in the XLR version.

They were mostly blue with a few green sections at Dublin airport but were all blue when we landed. Returned on DVN, which was repainted. Didn’t notice the lighting. Big bonus for us was check in desk 32 which took cabin bags before security. Same in Marco Polo, lady at check in didn’t hesitate when we asked to check in cabin bags. So much better than leaving them at gate or humping then around airports. Kudos Aer Lingus.
