I've been reading (a lot) trying to determine if paying the extra $79pp to change seats to 7A&B on a flight we have from San Antonio to Newark in October would be worth it to me.

I am 6'2 and have some physical problems that make sitting for extended periods of times pretty miserable. If I can stretch out a bit, move around etc I can handle it.

We are in regular coach seats now and have no status so I will have to pay - and they are currently still available.

Seat Guru and some of the other things I've read here have kept me from pulling the trigger. They advertise them as extended legroom - and I understand that that is subjective.

Normally I sit with my knees rubbing the back of the seat in front of me (hoping that person doesn't fully recline) - so not having a seat in front of me is very appealing even if the extra legroom is minimal.

What advice can you experts give me??? Thanks!
