Everything You Wanted To Know About Where to Sit on a United Express Q200
Okay, this is almost certainly a moral failing on my part, but... I have three flights coming up on Q200s. And as far as I can tell, there's no "Everything you wanted to know about where to sit on a Q200" thread -- even back in the archives -- so I'm starting one. Mods, if there is an existing thread, please feel free to delete this one (and add the existing one to the "Consolidated where to sit" wiki-thread.)
So... any suggestions on where to sit (or not) on a Q200? I know "on a different airplane" is the right answer, but we're past that now.

2B/C/D for legroom, unless noise is a factor for you; if so, then I believe in a turboprop that the back of the plane will be quietest, and 23E would be your best bet.

No question, 2C/2D are the best seats. No trip on this plane is long enough to be bothered by the sound and these seats are the only ones with good legroom. I've had my fair share on this bird and thats my recommendation.

1. Do 2C/2D have enough legroom to make it relatively easy to get out of the window seat (2D)? I like windows, but I don't like feeling trapped in there.
2. Does the rear exit row (Row 18) have significant extra legroom, or is it like the CRJ-200 where the exit row isn't actually distinguishable from any other seat? (Given that 2BCD are better, they might not always be available).

I'm booked on a Q200 next month. The only available option for the first row is 2B. Do they block 2A? I am currently in 18B. Rows 3 and 4 are "blocked" (highlighted in blue, but are unavailable). The flight search screen shows 2A, 3A/B/D and all of row 4 are unoccupied yet row 18 is grayed out.
What's with the seat map disparity?
Also, SeaGuru says that the bulkhead seats have immovable armrests that may reduce width. Is this true? I'm a rather wide person that will fit, but would rather be more comfortable.
