Exit row on 787 narrow seat? Got assigned to the exit row on a 787 transatlantic flight. I don’t care for the extra legroom (I’m 5’5) but I do have wide hips. Changing seats is $100 but I’m not sure just how tight the seats are, especially the window seat – does the arm normally lift on the side of the door so there’s a bit more space? The flight is with Avianca but I can’…
