Row 7 vs Row 20 in 752
Is the "limited recline" in row 7 ABC the same as the "limited recline" in row 20? i.e., no recline whatsoever?

Row 7 ABC on the 752 reclines fine and the lav is across the door area so basically unlimited legroom (or you can play footsies with the FAs). Row 8 DEF (there is no 7DEF) has the bulkhead but still a decent amount of legroom. Your knees will be fine though if you like to stretch your legs all the way out there is no cutout for that.

There is slightly less leg room for 7A as you have the escape slide there. It doesn't stick in too much like a 744 or A346's does. If you want to sleep then row 7 isn't a good place. Between the galley being their and the people waiting for the lav directly in front of you some times, it doesn't look too pleasant.

IMO, 7C is the best Y seat for every part of the flight except boarding, where EVERYONE encroaches on your space while rounding the corner into Y.

That's where I am right now unless my upgrade (Plat on a B fare) clears. Not gonna sweat it if it doesn't, it's an easy flight. Already confirmed in BF on the way home.

I generally get on early, get my stuff stowed and then hang out in the 2R or rear galley if I'm seated in 7C until the bulk of the passengers have boarded. Saves my knees and shoulders quite a bit. Plus making friends with the FAs is a useful thing to do.

Funny, since I was just about to post the same question. I am on the 757 from EWR to AMS with Mrs. EX. There was only one exit row seats available in row 21 and we wanted to sit together. We still have a choice between row 7 and
8 E/F. I am worried about the lav situation, on a longer flight it can become a problem. 8 seems a bit further away, but I'm 6'4" and would really prefer extended legroom, which according to some posts will not be there. This seems to be a tough one. I really hate these single aisle aircraft on routes longer than 3 hours.
