Travelling to JER with my partner on a 737 next week and don't want to reserve the first row of ET to find someone in middle of us on boarding.

Thanks
The B seat on the 737 is permanently blocked and in CE configuration in the first 5 rows, so as long as ET is as far forward as row 5 you can guarantee a free middle seat. They do this to reduce the seat count to ensure they can operate with only 3 crew.
