Classic Plus question
Q1: Parents are flying to Mexico tomorrow with Classic Plus, does that include elite security lines?
Q2: I always take the exit row, but they want to get on and off the plane quicker. They are bulkhead right now, but I have heard row two has a little more leg room, any truth to that?

I prefer row 2 as row 1 doesn't have a place to put anything on the ground, so you are stuck with the overhead. You also have slightly less legroom.

Personally, I prefer 2, 3, 4, or 12. I typically only travel with a small backpack so I need the under seat storage so I don't waste overhead space.

Completely agree. Row 1 has very limited leg room.

I don't recall ever seeing babies in row 1, and I do like sitting up front for a quick exit afterwards. I choose row 2 for the underseat storage, and perhaps more importantly for me, "shoulder" room. The bulkhead and exit)rows have the tray tables in the arm rests, and I'd just as soon have the extra inch or two in seat width.
On the other hand, a plus for sitting in row 1 is that you can occasionally have a good conversation with the flight attendants.

Guess I should have been more clear. No lap babies in row. Babies in their car seats. Also, plenty of toddlers which I mistakenly lumped together with babies. The crying/screaming all sounds the sound. Don't miss those days of parenting in the least.
