Also, the real exit row seats have no extra legroom - just the same as the others around them.
Net: don't book "exit row" seats in the new configuration.
Yes, with A320 you best go forwards, there really isn't much of an exit row on them (and I don't think it matters what configuration is involved). A319 and A321 are much better and definitely have an exit row worth pursuing. Some people, in a previous thread, did disagree, because actually there is a couple of extra inches in row 10. It is more obvious when you are sat in it. Also that pesky longhaired biker in row 9 can't recline into your valuable space.....
