I flew Transpac in Coach recently (first time in 2 years the upgrade didn't clear... <SOB!>

)... on NZ.. but that isn't really relevant... it would I think have been the same on other airlines...
Nabbed an exit aisle.. and regretted it... The seat/room etc were great... and the traffic to/from the restrooms wasn't a concern to me either.. but the people using the open area at the exit to... gather... including treading on my feet.. was just awful...
Maybe the galley exit row is better? Dunno...
I don't want to upset
drat19, but for completeness I must report that the middle and windo seats were BOTH occupied by....
small, nice smelling women...
