I didn't realize that she had her feet thru the seats until I tried to get my tray table out, and couldn't open the cover.

I won't be making the mistake of sitting in that row again.

Oh my goodness, you're right. At first I was scared that the 753s (which have recently been modded) were being altered again by removing some F seats. But actually, the 757 with 5 rows of F and the odd C+ arrangement is what DL is now calling the 75H, but I don't know which variant it came from. And wow, it really does have 199 seats on a -200 model...
