Exit Row seat Availability
 
Hi folks, So I am due to fly out of JFK tomorrow in the morning and just called EK to put in a request in the system for an exit row seat. The Agent told me all exit row seats are booked already …. is this normal :confused:
I thought exit row seats were 1st come 1st serve at check - in.

thanks

It's a misunderstanding. The exit seats are "not available" at this stage.
They are indeed released at check-in, mainly for security purposes (you have to be able physically to assist emergency evac).
Insist to have the request in your reservation. You can tell the agent that it's only a request, and that you are hoping for a no-show :D:D
