i need to do a PHL to DFW over memorial day. any comments how crowded planes have been. can we move? position on the plane is irrelevant to me but im big boned and used to the big spirit seats up front. ive been on one AA flight in the emergency row and it was miserable width wise. i dont care about legroom.

do the armrests ever swing up? i'm assuming no but figured id ask. wouldnt mind a 350 1st seat but with no food just really seems a waste lol
