PS there's no row 4-9 either
My girlfriend's condo building has a 13th floor. The building is only 2 years old.Originally Posted by traveller001
LOL It took this long? When was the last time you had a hotel room numbered 13? Or an elevator that had a 13 button. Superstition!PS there's no row 4-9 either

Is there a story behind the no rows 4-9 thing?
The japanese word for nine sounds like the word for suffering.

More likely, I believe it's done to create a clear delineation between Business Class and Coach. Business Class = single digit numbers, Coach = double digit numbers. Makes it a little less plausible when the kettle tries to self-upgrade to 3A, feigning ignorance that they were actually assigned to 10A. Originally Posted by Diabo

Or maybe since the 737 safety cards are for both 700 and 800 models there was perhaps a larger business class planned on a future 800? That would about cover the extra length... If an FL 737-800 were flying international routes BC would likely sell out. It's all just a stupid guess...Originally Posted by plagwate

But compared to a BC seat: no free booze, no snack basket and no generous seat width. Actually saw a woman try to self-upgrade on a DL flight (BWI-ATL) I took last week. She acted all confused when the seat's rightful owners showed up toward the end of boarding. Really lady? Those overhead numbers are that hard to interpret, especially when they are physically divided by a curtain? Originally Posted by henryf

You fly 717s mostly I assume... stick with exit on a 737!Originally Posted by HPN-HRL
When free upgrades are unavailable I usually remember to ask if 10C is available - I prefer this seat to those in the exit row.
