America West FlightFund (Discontinued Program) - Exit Rows on A319 / 320?

OK, I've searched both the active and archive forums for "exit row" and didn't see the answer, so I feel that I can, without guilt, post this question: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif

Which rows are exit on these planes? I believe it is 9 & 10 for each, but the online seat mapper is very inconsistent.

Also, does 9 (or the first row) have the tray table in the armrest, or in the seat in front? I believe also that the first row doesn't recline, right?

Thanks for your help, I'm trying to schedule a couple of flights, and I can't trust the online system... Hopefully I'll be bumped to first, but I'm still too new to know how often that happens....

Actually, I found this link after I realized how the planes are specified (A319-100, etc.).

Is this correct?

On the 319 it's row 9 and 10. You want to get 10A or 10F as there is no 9A or 9F - tons of legroom!

I'm not absolutely sure, but I think the 320s are row 10 and 11. There is a seat in front of the 2nd exit row windows on the 320.

Yes - the 1st row does not recline.

I can't recall does the 319 Row 9 recline and do both rows have the extra room.

Same on the 320 do both rows have the extra room.

On the 319, rows 8 and 9 do not recline. 9 and 10 have the extra leg room (especially 10 A and F)

I think it's the same on the 320, except add 1 to those numbers. Also, the 320 DOES have an A and F seat in the 1st exit row.

Well, having just finished a trip, I must say that there is virtually no benefit to being in an exit row on the 319. I assume the same holds for the 320.

If anything, there might be an extra inch of pitch between the seats, but I couldn't tell by eyeballing it.

Fortunately, I was upgraded on 3 of the 4 legs....

Already upgraded for my flight tomorrow, so I'm loving AW (HP) right now.

Actually, there are those of us who are proportioned in just the right way that 1" of extra room can make a huge difference!

I lose my plat status and drop to nothing for good on Monday, so I guess it's only exit rows for me from now on if I can even get them!

On the plus side, seat 1A in my car is always great!

It's been a while since I have been in the back but I could swear that the 319 and 320 had pretty good leg room in the exit rows.

Do they really only have one more inch?
