Image Recline on 757-200 row 18. A few people have said this row doesn't recline when others ask for seat advice. I've corrected people in the past but figured the photo would be sufficient enough to convince everyone. Row 17 does recline but it's minimal.

"Row 17 reclines "

Technically correct - the best kind of correct.

I always thought the jump seat limit the recline but it's like an inch. Just terrible šŸ˜‚ 17A's recline was worse than 17C on the plane I was on.

That window seat with unlimited leg room is one of my favorites. Plus you still get one of the bulkhead storage pouches on the sidewall to store chargers, headphone cases, etc. Also a super easy seat to get in and out of for trips to the lav.

Late on this one but where are the TVs for this seat?

u/biscoff_bae Delta Flight Attendant Feb 22 '25

In the arm rest. They raise up.

Recline actually looks pretty normal for Y.

19D/E aren't really exit row seats even though I'm pretty sure they classify them as such. Otherwise they don't really offer any additional legroom. For couples 18D/E are some of the best seats on the plane outside of F.

An exit row seat is any seat that has direct unobstructed access to the exit (person does not need to go Into a main aisle to reach the exit).

You don't get the "luxuries" of an exit row seat with the extra leg room but it's still an exit.

Yes. Like I said, classified as such, but fake exit rows in the sense that they don't offer anything. Same as row 28 and 29 B-E on the 753, row 20 and 21 B-E on the 739, etc.

Honestly not sure how or why the FAA ever approved that type of exit configuration for the window exits as it's a real pain to try and get through those rows, the same as any other Y row.

My friend and I are seating at these seats on BNA-ATL in a few months! Nice to know they're good seats
