Moveable armrests in A320 exit rows?
I know that the armrests in the front seats (5A-F) have the tray in the armrests and you cannot lift these up, but what about the exit rows? My travel companion has a hard time fitting into the seats with fixed armrests. Seat guru does not mention fixed armrests, but that could be an omission.
thanks

Oh, neat.
Has that info always been there? I've never noticed it (but never looked) before. I can fit into the seats, but find it annoying that aisle armrests don't move.

Thanks for the quick reply.
The site does not mention whether the armrests between seats are fixed which is what I need to know, however, it shows the aisle rows that have moveable armrests. Something I never thought about

Just a reminder, if a passenger requires a seatbelt extension, according to FAA rules, they are not allowed to sit in the exit row. Just trying to read between the lines of your statement saying that "They have a hard time fitting into fixed armrest seats" and that you are looking to sit in the exit row. If it's for other reason, remember that they must be able to perform their duties in an exit row. If neither are the case, then ignore me!
Just a friendly reminder
But to answer your question, IME, yes, the armrests move. As long as the tray table is in the seat back in front of you, they should move.
