dwh, definitely switch seats. I would prefer ANY seat in coach over that seat. I've been stuck there before. Luckily there were other seats open on the plane and I moved. you literally will be sitting sideways if you are over 6'0 tall. VERY uncomfortable. Since I'm 6'3 I would probably take a middle seat over this one. If you are under 5'7 or so it should be ok..but bothersome. At least to your left knee. Good luck.
