Before choosing a seat
Is this your Gulf Air configuration?
Match these clues against the seat selector in your airline booking or manage-booking screen. Aircraft names alone are not enough because one airline can fly several cabin layouts of the same type.
- Configuration label: 12J / 180Y
- 192 seats total
- Cabin split: 12J · 180Y
- Seat selector spans rows 1–38
- Falcon Gold: 2-2 across rows 1–3
- Economy: 3-3 across rows 8–12, 14–38
If the total, cabin split, row numbers, or seats abreast do not match, return to the Gulf Air configuration list instead of relying on this map.
