Upcoming flight on the dread 739.

How says FlyerTalk: 10A, 13C, or 21F?

edit: Flight is SFO-ATL, so I guess with 10A or 13C there would be snack basket and free drinks, an advantage over 21F.

TIA,
David

21F No doubt. No carb loaded crap from the snack basket can make up for the cattle car that is the 739. 21A and 21F are the two best coach seats in the plane (IMO).

That's pretty good advice ^, so I called and got 21F.

I had not realized that I could not do this on line, as the system will only allow you to select C+ seats once you are upgraded to WU.

Agent took care of it quickly, and left the C+ seats in place for other segments.

Thank you,
David

FC on this plane sucks in the bulkhead. I turned down 1A on my ATL-STL to stay in 10A.

yeah, I'm currently 2 with 1 remaining for a 739 redeye, this morning there were 10 open seats (and I applied a RUC!). the only one left is 1C. 10A is looking pretty good.

Do seats 21A-B-C-D-E-F recline?

Seatguru says they do, delta seat map says they don't.

But these seats are behind the exit doors (hence not blocking exits), so i don't see any reason why they should not be allowed to recline?

I am flying with a friend from LAX-KOA next year (21A-B / 21E-F), so I hope these seats recline, cuz it'll be a long 6-hr flight.

I think they do. There is no reason why the shouldn't.

I think so too. So I think Delta's seatmap is incorrect.

Bubba is correct. I would take 21 A/F over anything else in Y. The C+ seats feel cramped on this plane.

Yea. That's why we're picking 21A/F in our trip. We use FlyingBlue miles on this flight so having so much legroom (more than first class for sure) with only 15K miles is a good deal. The only concern we have now is whether the row 21 reclines (which seems like error on Delta seatmap), but would like to hear someone who actually sat on row 21 before to confirm.

Do inflight wifi and dish tv on 737-900er work when you are over Pacific Ocean on the way to Hawaii?

So, basically the only inflight entertainment on your way to Hawaii is the movies on your seatback screen (without live TV), unless you bring your own device with pre-recorded content (since delta studio's live streaming won't work without wifi)..?
