:-: Thanks a bunch! :-: I think 13A would be OK, though now I think its a seat I had last year that did have the engine jutting some into an otherwise full view of Manhattan.
Row 29A just became available so I could grab a window which I know will allow me to have an unobstructed view, even if it's farther back than my favorite 25A which is not too far front or back. I'll be watching every day to see if I can move up some.
About half the time I asked the GA will gave me a forward window but I heard they are being told not to give them free any longer. Have you heard? Long as I can see out I'd rather not pay. It's half the reason I fly.

I once chose the flight based partly on the seat, but only AA will give full miles now so I stopped flying the other Legacies after 40 years.
