Thanks for the quick responses !
Stupid question, but you never know: I assume that it is not just 9A which has the extra room. I am in 9F and only ask, as I will probably have the option to move into the front A-C pair behind CE.
BTW, I am on a flight Tues AM and 18 seats in ET (excluding the front rows noy yet opened up for ET amd the couple of back row D-Fs that are always greyed out). Are there that many Golds in ET / full fare ET pax on intra-Europe flights ?
