Good to know

Row numbers are NOT comparable across XLR operators — Iberia's Economy runs 21–48, Air Canada's 12–39, Aer Lingus's 7–34. On this jet especially, check your own airline's map: 'row 14' can be an exit row or a random middle.
A permanent rear fuel tank gives ~4,700 nm of range — why Dublin–Nashville and Madrid–Boston now board a single-aisle.
