Compare airplane seat maps side by side

Layout matters more than aircraft size: seven-abreast cabins like the 767-300ER (2-3-2) have one middle seat per row, while nine-abreast 777s and ten-abreast A380 main decks have three. Width and pitch are on every map, so compare your two exact aircraft above.

The A350's wider cabin gives roughly 18″ seats in standard nine-abreast economy, versus about 17.3″ on a nine-abreast 787. Both are quiet, modern jets with higher cabin humidity, in economy at typical configurations the A350 usually wins on width.

The A380, a full double-decker seating roughly 480 to 520 passengers in typical layouts, versus about 300 to 400 on a 777. Bigger doesn't automatically mean comfier: seat width and pitch depend on each airline's configuration, not the aircraft's size.

Not necessarily. Comfort is set by how densely the airline configures the cabin, many airlines fit ten-abreast economy on the 777, making its seats narrower than on the smaller 767's 2-3-2 cabin. Always compare the specific configurations, not the aircraft size.

The A320, its cabin is about seven inches wider, allowing ~18″ seats versus roughly 17″ on the 737 in standard six-abreast economy. Same row count, noticeably different shoulder room.

Pitch is the distance from a point on one seat to the same point on the seat in the row ahead, the standard proxy for legroom. Typical economy pitch runs 30 to 32″; anything 34″ or more is generous.

Depends on your build and the flight: broad-shouldered travelers feel width all flight long, while tall travelers hit the pitch limit first. On overnight flights width tends to matter more for sleep; on daytime flights pitch matters more for working and eating.

Yes, pick the same model on both sides and choose different airlines. Configurations differ more than most travelers expect: the same 777 can carry anywhere from around 270 to well over 350 seats.
