Unfortunately upgrade did not clear. I have the choice between 6c (preferred seat) or 22c (Main Cabin Extra exit row).
Seatguru seems to think 22c is a bad seat due to possibility of people bumping you while waiting to use the lavatory.
For me, since I can't really sleep on flights anyway, and I would make use of the drink service for MCE (this is leisure travel), perhaps being close to the lavatory might be worth while
As an aside, is the drink service being properly honored in MCE, or are FAs in general making up rules to limit quantity? I am bound to request enough drinks that would give a prohibitionist an aneurysm.
That said, is the seat itself sub standard? Does it recline like the rest? I understand with a fixed arm rest it would be narrower.
