No More Exit Rows for Me!
Yep. When Flying alone, I have found that the exit rows have become a disaster. Single flyers want these because of the extra legroom. However, when you have three adult males all in the same exit row, and all have 40+ inch chests that means that the shoulders will be more crowded. On my last flights where I was able to get Exit Rows, one of us had to turn slightly sideways in order for all to be relatively comfortable. And on an AA 757, I realized that the Exit Row Seats Seat is actually about 2-4" shorter than the Seat of any other row. I am not talking about pitch here but the actual length of the seat.
I have found that I am actually much more comfortable sitting in an aisle seat anywere else on the plane (other than First of course)
So, I will no longer be actively trying to book an exit row seat when flying alone. Hope you all enjoy them.
