You can also clear down the flag at some places in the lounge, or before boarding starts.
Is this recent, I have sat in 2D many times over the years and have never had a flag pop up. I have also never had it as an exit row pax on Mainline.
I also wonder why this is classed as an exit row, surely in a situation where the door would need to be opened there should be a CC in the position at 1L?
