We have row 13 on our aircraft and from time to time people do ask not to sit there. I won’t tell you what I’m thinking while I’m trying to reseat them on a full aircraft.

The extra legroom will be at the overwing exits (rows 15 and 16) although kids wouldn’t be allowed in these rows, and row 15 won’t recline as it has an exit behind it.

Although there aren’t any legalities regarding the front row and kids, it looks from the diagram like company policy not to allow kids the aisle seats. At the front on the right there generally isn’t any extra legroom as such, more a feeling of space because there is a flat bulkhead rather than another seat. Charter config 737s don’t usually have a bulkhead on the left at row 1 which makes for great legroom, but I suspect excel must have otherwise the whole of that row would be shaded blue (available for adults only) on the diagram.

I guess the other thing to watch out for with Excel would be the likelihood of aircraft changes or non-standard cabin layouts given their connections with various other carriers and frequent leasing in of aircraft.

So many types for so many reasons.

757-200 because it’s so sexy.
330-300 because it’s so pretty.
Shorts 360 because it’s so ugly.
737 because I love it to work on.
Trislander because flying on it makes me smile.

Never thought about it before, but what’s the tail logo on Biman? I can’t make it out?

Technically you shouldn’t be there. Don’t quote me (for obvious reasons) but I think the worst that would happen to you is that you would be asked to move on. Certainly none of your other suggestions.
