I want to have more legroom.

I want to sit on the three seats! (I'm not fat but I need some quiet time!!)</font>
Wow! You want it all, Bluesky! Your best bet here would be to travel early morning on Christmas Day!

Seriously though, for starters, check out:

As you will see, on both the 734 and 73G, if you're seated in the first rows of Coach, unless your camera angle is facing forward you'll probably have to deal with a bit of engine cowling in your picture. As such, you may want to consider sitting towards the very back of the airplane where oddly enough AS's seat charts indicate an extra inch of legroom (33" pitch) and so long as your camera is facing down, you shouldn't get much if any wing.

As for getting three seats to yourself, well, hopefully your flight will be lightly booked because otherwise there's no way to guarantee such a request and it's highly unlikely you'll find any AS agents that would block a whole 3 seat row of Coach for you without a very substantial bribe! Good Luck!

P.S. Any AS personnel out there who might be able to define just what might constitute a "Very Substantial Bribe"?
