If you're in Rows 1-10, you get a nice surprise of extra legroom on the new config.
If you're in 11, you still have a similar amount of legroom.
If you're in 12, your seat is no longer exit row and you have 34" on the new config.
If you're in 13 to 25 you see no change (except maybe 25 not fully reclining?)
If you're in 26, your row is gone and will need other seats on the new config.
In short, the worst is for peope in 12 that may have been expecting an exit row? For anyone in 12 now and really wants an exit row, they should probably try to change to 11 to ensure they have at least as much legroom as 12?
Thanks.
Thanks for the detailed update!
I very strongly doubt that any row (even the last row) will not recline. This was the case when the A320 had 27 rows a few years ago...Neeleman stressed how important it is that every row reclines. Especially now, with even more room in the cabin, rest assured that every row will recline.
HOWEVER....
I did hear something (maybe here on FT a few months ago) that the WINDOW SEAT in EXIT ROWS will NOT recline at any point during the flight due to new FAA restrictions. Therefore, seats A and F won't recline in the exit rows. The others will recline once the FA unlocks it after takeoff above 10,000 feet.
