Julie,

Welcome to FT and the EK forum!

I would recommend you sign up to www.expertflyer.com. It's an extremely useful site in terms of seat maps for all airlines, fare availability, schedule information etc etc. There's a few packages - so just sign up for the free service for now until you see if you think its worthwhile.

One of the best features is the seat alert function, where you can ask the system to continually scan seat availability and to send you an email if your desired seat becomes available. Very cool.

I think the seats you have selected are ok - you might want to enquire when you check in if the exit rows are available, because EK allocate these on a first come/first served basis.

Good luck. Hope to see you back here often.
