    That is why we like the row 51 &52 as there are only 2 seats there..But do you think there will be limited space for person sitting by the wall?

    I have only flown in that set up with KLM, but did think those seats were comfortable. The wall may slant in a little, but I found it easier to sleep with it like that?

    If you don't get the seats you want, don't be afraid to ask once you get to the airport. Someone else may have moved since you checked in.

    If the twin seats have gone D & E are ok IMHO.

    They are fine unless the person in F chooses to crawl out over you, which is a possibility if the person in G is a heavy sleeper and/ or a heffer. Plus there is no absolutely no privacy. I would never choose a middle row given the option.
    Gone ... or have I?

    If you get 52A you can stretch out a bit more with your left leg in that space to the front and left.

    That space is in reality the wall!

    It is the space to the left of 51A and there is a bit between the seats and the fuselage. I have sat in 52A so remember it.

    I know where you mean, and whilst you would be able to fit a single foot in the gap, you certainly won't be able to stretch your leg into the space. In fact if you tried to make use of that space you'd end up with a pretty twisted leg!

    Aaaahhh i'm so nervous :o..Will try to go for 51BC or HJ..

    Just checked and they still sell tickets for that flight and does not even say anything like last 9 seats left..Maybe it won't be very full flight..

    On the way back we fly with American Airlines from Vegas via Chicago..

    If they are offering WT+ for no extra cost just grab em, BUT the seatguru map may not be accurate about those 28-36 rows.
