Boeing 757-200 / 752 Row 9, 10 and Exit Row Seats (consolidated)

Agree 100% for planes with MCE...I've completely stopped taking the exit rows when MCE is an option.

Quick question on row 9

There are so many posts here with so many views. I have read 9D has more leg and foot room than 9C. (also negatives about Lavatory line etc.) I need every inch of leg room so I want to make sure I chose right one. My flight is December so I am presuming MCE will be in all 757's by then if not already.

On the new first, row 9 has the non-movable armrest between the seats and 9BC has a little less legroom due to the jump-seat in front of 9C.

I have two questions about the row 9:
- do the seats in row 9 recline?
- does it get cold there (especially during a red-eye flight)?

Yes they recline. Cold is relative I suppose, however I do find that, especially the B/E seats of row 9 can get a bit chilly. I've never had it to a point where it's unbearable but definitely use the blanket at night in these rows.

Only other thing to note is that the D/E side can be preferable because if boarding is through L2, then the B/C seats have to stand in the aisle for most of the boarding process as everyone walks right by that row.

I was in 10A on a BOS-LHR redeye about three years ago, and I've never known cold like it (I had a woollen sweater on and used the blanket and it made no appreciable difference). Too cold to sleep. Completely miserable. Never again - and no crossing the pond on a 757 again.

Been a while since I've been on a 757... Can the person in 10 A/F exit through row 9 without any major issues if they need to get up during flight?

Only other option showing right now is 17C, but I'm hoping either I get upgraded, or someone from row 9 does and I can slide up to that.
