Exit row next to door. Most leg room, plus first access to bail on the plane.

Exactly. Actually, both the aisle and door seats of an exit row are great.

holy crap 3-4-3 ? is that an airbus 340?

the seat you have looks fine, why do you want to change?

if you want to get off sooner, grab 23H

first seat after any walls that separate the classes. Like between first and business and business and coach. Those are the best seats. If you wanna sleep, get a window seat. No one will bother you or crawl over you. If you need legroom, or pee a lot, get an aisle seat.

Thanks, would any of you know the coordinates of movie screen? I would want a clear view, especially when a good movie is on the playlist.

I always go with the emergency exit over the wing. The most leg room, strongest point of the plane, and quickest way off.

any decent airline has LCDs in the headrest right in front of you, that you can change the channel on independently.

you're kidding, right? 90% of all plane crashes end up killing everyone on board. hey, i hear jumping straight up right when the plane hits the ground helps your chances, too!

uh huh

exit rows are great, but on some airplanes the exit row seats don't recline. i would choose any of the window seats with no one next to you. whenever i sit in the aisle, i'm always getting bumped by the people walking to the bathroom. plus aisle seats have nowhere to rest your head. window is where it's at. and as far towards the front as you can get, i.e. away from the engines.

I'm not concerned with the plane crashing, and I never use the bathroom on a plane... so I always like a window seat 4-5 rows ahead of the wing for the best view, lowest noise, and not having to get up to let some old lady to the bathroom every 20 minutes.
