Why is seat 8A/8K on the 767 undesirable?
WestJet lists seats 8A and 8K on the 767-300 as undesirable and therefore a free seat selection. Seatguru does not. Counting windows on a picture of the plane makes it seem like Row 8 is too far forward to be missing a window.

Any insights? A search yielded nothing relevant to WestJet.

Take a look at this video at 3 min 39 sec as it seems to show a missing window on 8K. :

Just a FYI, we booked "undesirable" exit row seats for no charge on our upcoming flight to San Juan.
These row 13 seats don't recline but have lots of extra legroom! A best kept secret I think.....

Three non-contributive posts have been removed from this thread.

Keeping the discussion on-topic would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Also the issue that 80% of the flights never leave or leave five hours late makes that or any seat annoying.

Looks like Row 13 got rid of the free less desirable but seats 8A and 8K still have it due to a missing window.
