I wanted to pay for Exit Row seats as my hubs is quite tall and the extra leg room would be helpful, but I couldn't online so I called SAS hoping CS could assist, but was told they cannot help.

Is that true? Even though I'm willing to pay for the seats and downgrade to Y, I'm not allowed? I don't understand. It feels like I'm being penalized for having a Biz ticket.

Appreciate if anyone has any advice. Cheers.
I'm 6'6 and usually book 2C(first row on left side) or 1D. For the the 2 hour flights it works. Depending on the load you can book the window seat for yourself and hope nobody takes the middle seat (you can always trade later).
