Airbus single aisle aircraft such as the A320 have a wider fuselage compared to the Boeing 737. This allows for a seat that is 18” in width, giving you more comfort. Also, having a wider fuselage allows for a wider aisle and this allows better flow when moving to another seat, the lavatory or galley.
