OK, so I am having trouble deciding how to effectively seat 5 people on our 757 (version 1) flights next March.

- All five of us are AA Gold but one passenger is only 14 which I assume means no exit row seating.
- The 14 year old will not want to sit alone.
- Legroom is more important than recline
- 2 together and 3 together would be ideal.
- Powerpoints for 3 of the 5 pax are vital

It seems as though 10A/F are the best seats on the plane. Is row 9 better than rows 17/18? I was initially thinking that 17ABC and 10AB would work, but it seems that AA has labelled 10B as an exit row. Is it in reality? On the way back 17CD and 18CD are taken. No-one will want a window/middle combination if someone else is sitting at the aisle.

Any ideas on what would be best? Right now I have 9AB 10A 13BC reserved on the way there and 9BC 10AEF on the return. (How is the legroom for 10BCDE?

Thanks!
