If your tall then paying for an exit row is to your advantage.
Otherwise you just have to put up with what you get... perceived need or not... if you too wide to sit in a whY seat you would need either to get 2 or but J, thats just life.

I don't like exit rows, i find the seats with less width not as good but the main reason is the people that usually hang around exit rows... (hehhee, like me when i want a break from my seat)

I actually agree with the fact it's a positive towards flying VS (not that I fly cattle anymore) but at least you're guaranteed of it...I remember many flights (especially BA Cattle) where i'd have happily shelled out $600 to have the exit.

I don't see this as any different to some airline who allow you to buy a J upgrade on departure, and then finding out that the guy next to you got a free upgrade....it's the airlines, if you want it, pay for it, if you don't, say no and pay the bigger price in being stuck in a tight seat!

I don't think so, if you are paying for it out of your own pocket. If your employer pays, then yes.

Just think of all the money you'll save. Spend it on nice hotels, not awful airlines.

I'll spare you the details, but I make quite enough money to fly First and still eat. I wouldn't consider flying economy unless my life depended on it.

And of course thats your choice. I wish i was in the same position.
Even though i am not i still also decide to fly in premium cabins when paying myself provided the price is reasonable, and if its not then i consider more carefully if i want to go.

And there-in lies the dilemna - i could afford to fly first class and then stay in hostels when i got to where im going to go. For me, and i mean this seriuosly, i dont find Y "that" bad myself, but i think as i consider it a b*s without wheels that makes my impressions different.

Having said that for our upcoming trip i am trying to get into PE but if i dont its not a big one, i'll just have more to spend on what i want when we get there

Well done NYCguy - so do lots of us, we also own big homes, drive German convertibles, wear 5K watches and have beautiful wives - we just don't promote the fact to those who don't or can't... go figure...

If you have too many wives you may lose it all

I don't know - my wife seems to make up for a few with the spending and the arguing but not the extra-cirricular activities!
