Moving Armrest on Exit Row E-190?
 

can anyone confirm if the armrest can be moved between the seats on the exit row (extra legroom) on the e190? i'd like to book two seats for myself and want those seats for the extra legroom but only if the armrest moves

thank you in advance

If I recall correctly, I don't believe they do.

However, every row behind the exit row does have an inch of more legroom than in the front of the plane. I would recommend purchasing two of those seats - you'll save on the EML fee. They have plenty of legroom (and I'm 6'1). Plus, I believe that they may put someone next to you in the exit row for safety reasons even if you've purchased the 2nd seat, but I'm not sure of that.

If they don't move, I'm surprised that SeatGuru doesn't mention it. If someone confirms non movable armrests to be the case, please submit that info to SeatGuru.

Thanks - the JB rep I spoke with first said it was the first time he was ever asked about that and said they do go up he believes (said he was 98% sure). Thing is it would be $160 total for those seats and that is just too expensive. I would do it for a 320 seat to SF/Sea but for 4 hrs I will just deal with the normal seat :)

Thanks for checking - I appreciate it.

In that case, like I said, make sure you get a seat in the rear of the aircraft. :)

The E190 exit row middle arm rest does raise. I've done LGB - AUS and return several times on the E190.
