It does help a bit. I guess I need to pay more attention. I was surprised that I got this in 22A on the 75E (I presume...I don't know if there is another 757 with 16 BE seats that would have a different EC window set up). I had no window JFK-LAX (another missed upgrade!) and then unfortunately had no window in EC on my connecting LAX-OGG flight (which like most west coast to Hawaii flights has no PTV).

If you can provide feedback on the 75E, I'll be happy to add it in!!

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find it anywhere. Flying ATL-AUA in exit row right now, but I can move up to EC. Which would you prefer, is the leg room comparable with both, or how about seat comfort in EC vs exit row? It's a 737-800. Thanks.

Seems like every time I log in my seat has been changed and a different plane is flying. It now looks like our EC seats are in row 13 on our 767 flight Narita to Bangkok and PEK to SEA.

Any comments on row 13? Emergency rows 20 & 21 and have been taken.

I recently sat in seat 10E on flight 1344 from PHL to SLC. This is a bulkhead seat, though the bulkhead is just a partition between economy class and first class seats. I am taller than average, about 6'4". On Delta's online survey form about my flight experience in their cabin comfort experience section I checked "Poor" (the lowest rating) to the questions about "Seat comfort", "Legroom", and "Amount of personal space". Here are my comments I wrote:

"I paid $39 extra for an "Economy Comfort" seat, and I think the seat I had was one of the WORST I ever had on a Delta flight. It was a bulkhead seat, 10E, in the first row behind the first class section on a Boeing 737-800. I think Delta should label this an "Economy Discomfort" seat. I cannot believe that you charge extra money for such a horrible seat! seat guru.com rates this seat as "Some Drawbacks" while all other Economy Comfort seats are rated "Standard Seat" except the aisle seats in row 10 that are rated "Good, Seat", http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Del..._737-800_A.php

Here are the reasons I was VERY DISSATISFIED with this seat:
1. It has LESS legroom than a regular economy seat, and when I tried to lean the seatback backwards the seat cushion moved forward and gave me even less legroom. I could not cross my leg unless I put my foot in front of the passenger beside me.
2. The tray table that unfolded from the arm rest was about half the size of a seat back tray table in regular economy class, and when unfolded it was not completely flat nor level. Also, there was no forward or back adjustment of the tray table, and when unfolded it was so close to my waist that I found it difficult to eat my food and balance my drink on it.
3. The seat back pouches appeared to be much smaller than those in regular economy class. This was especially annoying because there is no under seat storage in the bulkhead seating.
4. On other Delta flights when I booked Economy Comfort I believe the seat cushions and head rests were better quality and more comfortable than those in regular economy seats. I do not think that was true on this flight.

I am going to send a separate email request to Delta demanding my $39 fee be returned!!!"

I have flown on other Delta flights and planes when I booked Economy Comfort, and I was extremely pleased with my seating experience on those flights. However, my seat on this 737-800 plane was one of the WORST I have ever had on a domestic flight

Hello. We fly on a Delta CRJ900 (SkyWest for one leg, and Pinnacle for the other - if it matters), and are currently sitting in the bulkhead (5A, 5B). But, we're large people, and only want to sit there if the arm rest goes up. I've reviewed all other blogs, forums, seat guru/experts and am getting conflicting reports. Can anyone solve this for me, for sure? Thanks so much, and happy new year.

It does not go up. The first class seats in front of you do not have tray tables on their backs, thus the need to put the tray table inside your armrest.

I've got pics linked to the CR7 in post #1. Assuming the CR9 is the same, the first row if EC has moveable arm rests.

Also, while that row is "EC" and has extra legroom, the seats are narrower due to the tray table in the armrest. More problematic is the fact that 5B is directly in line with the aisle in FC as the FC cabin only has one row of seats on that side of the aricraft. If you board early, be prepared to be pummeled as people head to the back of the plane.

Leg room is great though

Thank you so much for the quick answers. When I look at blogs/pages like this one (http://boardingarea.com/blogs/deltap...ct-delta-trip/) it definitely looks like it will raise up (the tray tables are in the other arm rests). How should I reconcile this with the answers above? [Thanks again for all of your expertise...I was in NYC on Sept. 11th 2001, and haven't been great with flying since (claustrophobia, etc.) - so flying these little planes makes me really anxious and I try to find the best I can.]

My apologies, I was picturing the left side of an -88 in my head. It does appear that that the tray tables are located on the aisle and window sides of the respective seats, making the armrest in between them movable.

The CRJ700 and 900s that I have flown do not always have moveable armrests in between the seats for the bulkhead row, and would be uncomfortable if you are of size. I prefer 5C on the 900 as I am only slightly larger, fit fine in between the immoveable armrests, love the extra legroom, and it keeps me from overflowing into my neighbor's seat.

I'd move back a row to 6 if it's available. Sometimes the aisle armrest will also go up in rows 6/7 - look for a small button on the bottom and all the way at the back of the armrest.

Also, as another poster mentioned, the bulkhead aisle seat that is 4B or 5B on those planes gets bumped a LOT due the position of the seat to the aisle itself.

wanted to share a couple of photos i took on a recent trip... as you might guess from my handle, i like bulkhead seats. i was flying in Y on the refurbished 767-300 (with personal video, power, sky interior), and had a choice of 17E with seatmates, or 22CDE to myself. in the process, i ended up with the following pics of the options:

my original seat assignment, seat 17E (economy comfort). this was beautiful until two people about my size showed up for 17C and 17D:



my alternate choice, seat 22E (economy). considering that the flight had only 30-40 empty seats, this one had the advantage of an empty 22CD, 23CDE, and 22FG when i felt like looking out the window:



(with the DM's, PM's, and NRSA's in EC, the "preferred" seats were almost completely empty -- most of the people in them moved there...)

my foot isn't touching the wall, but it's close. it's a tight bulkhead. certainly no room to stretch out, but with the power outlet, i got 7 hours of laptop use out of this seat...

on the flight home, i flew 17E with 17CD (and every other seat on the plane) occupied. neither option is perfect, but the ride home made me happy i stuck with 22CDE on the outbound.

i spent the last half hour of that outbound flight in 22G, with 22F empty, and realized how much i prefer even a tight bulkhead to a regular seat!

Thanks for your input/feedback. I've updated post #1 with a link to your feedback. Also, keep in mind seat guru is not an official source of information on a/c. Many of us find it's not current.

Thanks for your feedback - I've added it to the links in post #1!
