Reply To: Long route: optimal seating

[Thegasman]

Have you checked if 9, 10 & 11 are occupied or blocked? Do you have Gold status? The new thin seats are too firm for my liking so I’d avoid if possible. I’d take an aisle in 9 or 10 over middle in exit row though. I’m 6ft 2 & can just about manage in non emergency row.

My thoughts would be to stick with what you have & hope that an aisle in 9/10 opens up in 48-72 hours pre departure. I wouldn’t move back on a long flight.
