A quick "is it worth it" question!
Hey guys,
First post here!
I just booked ATL-LAX-LIH for my girlfriend and me (main cabin).
I'm thinking about upgrading to Comfort+ (specifically for the LIH-LAX leg) and just wanted to throw some things out there to see if it's really worth it.
It appears my plane is a 757-200 (75H). According to SeatGuru, we're currently in a pretty good spot with 27E and 27F (see blue circle on seatmap image).
I am 6' tall -- so not huge, but not small either.
Is this upgrade worth the $109?
We'll both probably have a snack and couple alcoholic drinks a piece, but that alone would not justify the price.
Thoughts?
I appreciate it!

"Worth" it is entirely subjective. What does $218 mean to you?
Me? I would take 16C and 17C and each have an aisle. The leg room will mean something for you. There is nothing about a wrap and some cheap booze which makes anything worthwhile.

is it 109 per head or both? i don't think i'd pay 218$, but maybe 109, depending what i already spend on the tickets.

Thanks for the responses.
It's $109 each.
I realize it's completely a subjective question, but my hope was that some experience and dialog would help formulate my decision.
More specifically, I guess, our current seats already appear to have decent legroom because they're an exit aisle.
So I guess the real question is, what is the legroom difference between my current seats and Comfort+ and is the seat any better, other hidden benefits, etc. over just staying in the main cabin?
Thanks!

My personal opinion is that you have some of the best coach seats in the plane with better legroom than most of Economy Comfort. Save the money, buy a couple of cocktails on the plane. Sleeping on the redeye in that seat is a breeze...lean against the window, have your SO lean on you.

Personally, the only seats that would be worth it for me would be 18 D & E which will have more leg room than any other seat on the plane (including first class) and will also take away the risk of sitting next to someone who is [insert whatever bothers you about other people on planes].
If those are open and you choose them, note that there is no under seat storage. Worth it for me.

If it were me, I'd stick with the exit row, unless you need the MQD to make some status level (C+ seats qualify for MQD earnings).
