A320 Row 6
Is Row 6 (premium) on the A320 as annoying as Seatguru makes it out to be? I prefer to be in the bulkhead, and would pick it on the 737s, but I can't tell if Row 6 on the A320 is a bit obtrusive into the aisle, has issues with the curtain etc. Flight in question is LAX-SEA-LAX
Thanks!
Thanks!

Preferable to row 7, in your opinion? Does it feel like last row of F can recline into you? And can you store things under the F seat in front? Thanks again!

You can store items under the F seats as well. The only potential advantage I could see to row 7 would be the tablet holders that are integrated into the fold down tray tables (the tray tables come of the seats in row 6). It sounds like you are flying a round trip and since neither is a bad place to sit, I'd try row 6 on one leg and row 7 on the other so you can experience them both and know your preference for the future.
With Premium middles blocked, I prefer the rows behind 6 especially if I am traveling with my partner. You can flip up the arms (even on the isle
) and spread out a little more. James

Thanks for the input, everyone. I think we will do bulkhead and regular premium both on different flights. We're actually connecting LAX-SEA-ANC , and couldn't find a first reward the whole way, sadly, so premium it is!

My partner and I don't like row 6 because of the non-retractable armrest.
This was already this way before COVID, when we would select Window+Middle or Middle+Aisle.
Now that the middle seat is blocked (Middle seats in the Premium cabin are oddly the only ones that are still being blocked on Alaska), even more so: having that middle seat empty in row 7 is a lot more comfortable for us (because of the retractable armrests) than having an empty middle seat between us on row 6.
