In A321 K/R/T, if FA5 is on board, where is FA1 Purser seated?

• A. 1L, closest to the aisle
• B. 1L, Closest to the door if FA5 on board
• C. 2L
• D. 3L

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that the Purser is placed at the front left seat to supervise boarding and cabin operations from the door area. In A321 configurations K, R, and T, the seat that is left of the forward entrance and closest to the door—1L—is the position designated for the Purser. When FA5 is on board, the crew adds an additional member, but the leadership seat at the forward left remains the Purser’s to ensure immediate access to the door for coordination, safety checks, and announcements.

So the best seat for FA1 Purser is the left-front seat, the one closest to the door. Other positions farther back or on the right side would reduce quick access and oversight at the main entry, which is why they’re not the preferred placement.
