I've never had problems reserving exit rows on Continental with Elite Status.
Many reps have mentioned that they shouldn't do it, but if I speak to them nicely, they've always booked seats for me.
It's nice to have exit row if the upgrades don't come through, especially since I fly LAX-EWR which is really hard upgrading.</font>
now that the food is awful in first as well as coach, exit row is better than first in many cases since you have MORE leg room.
