Jetstar legroom
My partner is quite tall and gets stressed with uncomfortable flights. I booked us on the Jetstar A320 in row 1, but D / E.
I am a bit worried now because seatguru says the legroom on these seats is limited, whereas A / B / C has lots of extra space.
I assume D / E still has extra space, correct? If so, any idea how much extra? A/B/C are sold out now.
Thanks!

1BC are the best, 1A has the emergency slide intruding on some of left had side legroom but is acceptable.

Ah ok, so the 'knee to wall/back seat' space is bigger in 1D than it is in other rows? By how much?
The benefit of 1D at least is that you can stretch your legs into the isle, so maybe it is still the best seat of what is left?

Yes, it would be possible to sit sideways and put your feet into the aisle, but the FAs won't like it as they will be accessing the galley infront of the bulkhead infront of the 1 DEF seats. Other pax won't like it as they are accessing the toilet on the left front side. As said, 1D is OK for knees (I'm 188 cm tall) and it has IIRC at least several inches of space infront of knees whereas the ordinary seats have negative space infront of knees. There is really no other option if the exit rows are taken and 1ABC are taken. Of course, you could buy an extra seat and keep that empty for space - just pay for seat allocation so the two of you have three seats together.

Just bought an extra seat - at 1F - so we now have 1def. 3def is free too, but I think I'll keep row 1 if knee space is better. They said it's not possible to check in online when you have paid for an extra seat, but other than that, all seems in order. Thanks.
