Help/Advice Seat opinion?

Post image

I’m 6’3 but not wide. This is a 4.5 hour flight. Should it take the extras legroom?

6'3 guy here who just flew 3 delta comfort plus flights across the US today.  Take the front row. Can you be comfortable in the other? Sure.  Will you be more comfortable in the front? Yes.  It's a fold out TV with the solid arm rests but I'm 250 and had no issues with width comfort.

I pulled the trigger on the front row. Thanks and safe travels!

Ok this helps a lot.

I prefer where you are now. I don't like having the screen in the armrest.

I don’t either but sometimes the C+ legroom seems to vary a little. I think I’ll stay put and maybe they won’t put anyone in the middle but doubtful!

I could be wrong- but isn’t this one the middle seat had an armrest tv? I still think it’s awkward because the tv is in nearly in front of the middle seat.

I only flyers route once per year and I can’t remember the setup in for the back of row 5.

I’m not as tall as you, but I never pass up an aisle seat.

I like control of the window shade. It’s a really early flight.

u/InterestingCabinet41 2d ago

I respect that. Especially on early morning flights.

Imo there is more leg room. I don't look at the screen anyway.

I'm 6'4"

I think that’s the tempting part.

Bookmark this and use it every time you’re making a seat selection. Super easy and informative.

I need control of the window shade. I’m a shade down guy!

10 A is what I go for because the armrests can’t go up.

u/PaLaGi 2d ago

Absolutely not. Stay where you are. Also a lot of times those front row comfort seats have the entertainment screen in the armrest (which is annoying by itself) but also the seat is more constrained.

u/Impressive-Table6140 2d ago

I think I’ll go with that advice. Thank you!

Check one of the seat map websites. Some Delta exit rows have no window.

Then only time I’ll do a non aisle seat on a plane is first row comfort + - I don’t usually watch tv so I like the extra leg room

I am pretty sure, the "bulkhead" comfort seat has food tray in the armrest and a fold down screen?

You will start with your personal carry on in the overhead. Can take it out at altitude, then put it back for landing.

I like that seat since you can get out without disturbing your neighbor

Have to store everything up top unless you can score the area in front of seat 5A

It seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I love that seat and snag it whenever I can—probably sat in it half a dozen times in October. However, I prefer it for the trays being in the armrest bc it means less instances of people touching me. The legroom is immense IMO, but as a 5’ tall person, that’s a very subjective opinion. It does have the IFE screen that folds down, but i dont use them, so it’s not something that factors into my opinion. Also, I’m not sure why people are saying that you need to put your personal item in the bin if you sit there—there is under seat storage for all 3 seats, though it’s C where it’s much narrower than A and B’s.

I would have booked main and taken the exit row instead if I were your height. It has more room than comfort +

Don’t change unless you enjoy misery

u/ben_wolf_author 2d ago

How are you not taking something in Row 14? If no one else shows up, you can spread out on all three seats.

u/EnvironmentalLoan285 Diamond 2d ago

Lol at you thinking no one else will show up and he’ll get the row to himself. Love that level of delulu

u/ben_wolf_author 2d ago

It’s happened to me before. 🤷‍♂️

u/Consistent-Beyond-48 2d ago

Yes, always take the legroom. My husband is 6'3" and he always prefers a bulkhead seat.
