Updated 9 November 2026 with seasonal aircraft variants and Plus pitch comparison.
Sunclass Airlines offers two quite different cabin experiences on its Airbus A321neo and A330-900neo aircraft.
The A321neo is a narrowbody with 218 seats, a 3-3 layout and streamed entertainment on passengers’ own devices, while the A330-900neo is a widebody with seatback screens, USB-A and USB-C charging, and a cabin plan that changes by season and destination.
The key point to note is that Plus is not automatically an extra-legroom seat. On the A321neo, Plus uses the same published pitch and width as Economy. On the A330-900neo, Plus also matches Economy on Sunclass’s Thailand winter layout, but on the winter Canary Islands and Cape Verde layout, Plus moves to a different front-cabin pitch.
Sunclass’s official fleet page lists 12 Airbus aircraft:
- Six A321s with 212 seats
- Three A321neos with 218 seats
- Three A330-900neos with 373 or 385 seats, depending on the seasonal configuration
The smaller A321neo offers streaming entertainment; the widebody A330neo offers seatback screens.
Sunclass Airlines improves fleet for sustainability
Sunclass Airlines and its parent company, Nordic Leisure Travel Group, unveiled an extensive strategy in 2022 to reduce CO2 emissions from their planes and hotels. Recognizing air travel’s significant contribution to global CO2 emissions, the tour operator aims to take responsibility and lead in optimizing its aircraft fleet. This includes actively reducing CO2 emissions and investing in cutting-edge technology to pave the way for greener aviation fuels.
The A321neo, the longest-fuselage member of Airbus’ popular A320 Family, can comfortably carry up to 244 passengers on routes up to 4,700nm/8,700km. With the widest single-aisle cabin in the sky, the A320neo Family boasts at least a 20 percent reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions and a 50 percent noise reduction compared to earlier models. These improvements come from incorporating the latest technologies, such as advanced engines and Sharklets, for better aerodynamics and performance.
Sunclass Airlines’ CEO Valdemar Warburg said: “Specifically, we in the group have a goal to reduce the CO2 footprint of our travels by 25 percent before the end of 2030 and to reach zero emissions in 2050. And in that plan, aircraft fleet replacement is very central. It is also extremely gratifying that we can now fly out of 2023 with as many as three Neo aircraft in the fleet. The entire fleet replacement actually seems to be going faster than expected”.
Is it worth paying for Plus on Sunclass Airlines?
If you’re after more legroom, check the aircraft and route first. On the A321neo and the A330neo winter layout for Thailand, Plus has the same published seat pitch as Economy. On the A330neo winter layout for the Canary Islands and Cape Verde, Plus gives you about five inches more pitch.
Whether paying extra for Plus is worthwhile depends on how much passengers value the bundled services, including baggage, priority boarding, a dedicated menu, and other privileges and amenities.
Inside the Sunclass A321neo
The summer A321neo layout has 218 seats in a 3–3 configuration. In the winter configuration Sunclass publishes, Plus occupies rows 1–10. Both Economy and Plus have 29 inches (73.6 cm) of pitch and seats about 17.7 inches (45 cm) wide.

The Plus fare includes checked baggage, a meal and a blanket, with priority boarding at selected airports. In Economy, you can pay separately for advance seat selection, a meal and checked baggage. Bring a phone or tablet to stream entertainment through Sunclass Network. The A321neo has USB-C charging.
Inside the Sunclass A330neo
Sunclass publishes two 373-seat winter layouts and a 385-seat summer layout for its Airbus A330-900neo. The widebody has seatback entertainment screens, and Sunclass lists USB-A and USB-C charging for both winter layouts. Most rows have two seats by each window and four in the middle, so couples can look for a window-side pair.

Seat pitch measures the distance from one point on a seat to the same point on the seat ahead. It gives you a way to compare rows, although actual knee room also depends on the seat design.
Thailand in winter
Plus occupies rows 14–34 and bundles meals, checked baggage, a blanket, headphones and an amenity kit on the outbound flight. For more room between rows, look for Premium in rows 1–11. It adds about four inches of pitch over Economy and Plus, with the same 17.9-inch (45.5 cm) seat width. Premium also includes upgraded meals, drinks, extra baggage allowance and priority boarding. Sunclass says children under two cannot book Premium.
Canary Islands and Cape Verde in winter
On this A330neo layout, Sunclass sells rows 1–11 as Plus. These seats have the same published width as Economy, with about five inches more pitch. The fare also includes a meal, checked baggage and a blanket, with priority boarding at selected airports.

Feedback From Sunclass Airlines Customers on A330neo Is Positive
The feedback from passengers on the A330neo has been positive, according to the airline:
“It is especially the ergonomic seats that get a lot of praise, just as the guests are happy with the large screens in each seat as well as the quiet cabin, which the guests acknowledge in their reviews. We are incredibly happy about that – not least my colleagues in the cabin, who have also got an even better workplace 10 kilometers up in the air,” says Valdemar Warburg, adding that the cabin is actually 33 percent quieter than previous models, just as more subdued lighting creates a calm atmosphere.
