Quick economy seat question on a 747

Hello chaps,

Happy Holidays to all of you, and wishing you a safe new year ahead.

My partner is traveling on IAH-LHR on BA flight 194. The aircraft type is a 74G which is the 747-400 version 2 on seatguru.

Does anyone know if 39H is a regular exit row aisle seat, which usually has plenty of leg room, or not?

Would you recommend that for a solo traveler as opposed to a regular aisle seat further back?

Thank you lads,
Andrew

I was in 39K a few months ago and didn't like that seat / row. Didn't have any extra space and wall in front meant couldn't stretch out. Felt a bit claustrophobic.

I am lucky not to travel Y long haul very often so don't have much experience but personally will not proactively chose that row again.

As a Y traveller on the 744 I prefer the mini-cabin formed of rows 33-36. I normally take an aisle seat so can't comment on the K seats but I like the general feel of the smaller cabin.

Beware that row 33 (and 39) being bulkhead rows are often used by families with babies.

Hello chaps,

Thank you for your reply. I was a bit concerned that 39 would be a bulkhead row as opposed to an exit row, so I will ask my partner to avoid it.

Thank you lads,
Andrew
