Leg room on a 737 800
Which row has the best legroom ?
I have booked 1a but with one leg in plaster I may have to swap seats as I have forgotten it there is a restricted leg space in that row.

With a leg in plaster, I'd suggest being seated 2C or 2D would be more friendly.

I would think an aisle seat would be much better for a leg in plaster?
It all depends on how you can move your leg and how tall you are, but it seems likely row 2 would have more ultimate room as long as your leg can clear under the seat.

Second exit row is by far the best on this aircraft. Tons of extra leg room and the first exit row cannot recline their seats due to it being an exit row. I almost always fly second exit rows no matter what airline.

Is this correct?

I doubt we can upgrade to Economy X as we are on points but I will see what they say.

Agents aren’t much use I’m afraid.
