I do look at the Beyond Magazine, but start at the back to look at the network routes, fleet size, aircraft configurations and such. Then I connect to wifi and spend time looking at fares for routes of interest where I can optimize my companion certificates all for free.

Okay, nothing is truly free, so we will say access to the AS website is included for everyone for the duration of the flight no matter what fare you purchase or where you sit. Where wifi is available of course.

They are noticeably less padded.
I honestly never noticed this. It's probably why I prefer the exit row -- less padding = more room, and I have just the right amount of natural padding to be able to sit comfortably.

If you look at the side profile of the seat, it’s noticable compared to Row 15/18. Also sits slightly lower I think.
