Err...Not sure what to think of this one really, as a pretty tall person...not sure i would want to pay $160...but I've never taken a 14 hour flight!
I certainly wouldn't pay $80 for a trans tasman flight.

I have mixed views on it - lets face it, most people want exit rows (particularly on international flights) so the demand is always there. However, the main people who seem to get them are your Platinum FF so that does rule out a lot of people (like tall people) who don't fly all that often.
It seems a little short sighted to me - they are looking at it in the short term and will probably make a nice profit but there will be a lot of annoyed FFer's. In saying that, other international carriers already do something similiar. I think the reaction will be negative from FFer's and tall people but probably postive from other travellers.

Legroom aside they are pretty crappy seats actually. I recently did LHR-SIN in premium Y on the A380 and had the exit row and it was shocking. Passengers and crew walking past all night to get to the toilet (even more annoying when two rows behind was the galley area where they could have got through easier.
Then BKK-LHR on a 747 in the economoy exit row. There you don't have people walking by, but a lot loiter for the toilets and the seats are not quite as comfortable, maybe as the tray and video are in the arm rests. And with the window seat you have to contend with the exit slide. Overall I wouldn't pay for an exit row, but then again I am not a tall person either. |

the seats are narrower too iirc, i just remembered.
seat width is just as important as pitch imo...the flying on the e190 was so comfortable.

I'm fat and tall.... 155kg and 6'4" so no matter what it'd be uncomfortable.
