I should have read this thread before I booked a 753 flight a couple weeks ago... The wondrous 1AB are taken on this upcoming flight.
I had booked 5F because I often like windows if there's a pod, and I had vague memories of my only 753 flight back in 2019 having the same pods as the 752s. Am I totally insane; did I sit in a recliner on that flight and just misremember it (entirely possible, it was the end of a crazy trip and the 753 segment the result of IRROPs making my life miserable)? Or did some of the fleet previously have similar F pods to the 752s? The aircraft in question was N57862, May 2019. The fleet update thread suggests I'm wrong, but just thought I'd check.
Anyway, I ask this mainly because I can switch to a 763 with pods (albeit not Polaris) for negligible dollars, although it's a mildly less convenient departure time and not a very long flight (IAH-DEN), so part of me thinks I should just stick with it.
I can switch to 5E or other aisles if I stick with the 753 (if it's not a pod, I generally prefer the bit of extra space being on the aisle).
