Is the number 33 being nixed on newer and refurbished aircraft and what’s wrong with this number? I can’t find any culture that believes it to be unlucky.
Unless I'm going crazy, row 33 was reserved as an exit row on narrowbodies, and was such on the 753 before it was slimlined. I can't find the old seatmap to confirm though.
