The layout maps were identical to the ones on seatguru and were not at all similar to the ones you pull up when actually selecting your seat at Delta.com. The CS rep did impart some useful information about CRJ planes that I thought I'd share here. There are only 3 seat belt extenders for each CRJ 50-seater while the CRJ 70-seaters have 5 each. I guess I'll need to get to the airport extra early to put in my request for an extender.
Thanks again for all the helpful feedback. I hope the legs of my trip that involve 757s is slightly more comfortable.
With regards to requesting the extender, just tell the FA when you pass by as your boarding that you will need an extender, I highly doubt there will 5 or even 3 other people on the same flight needing extenders also. If that's the case, they plane may be over weight for take off
. Unless of course you need more than one extender for yourself, then that may be an issue.
