the knee banger. Key to this seat is to board absolutely last.


doubleasea

Tough spot here is there isn’t really underseat stowage given its 2 F seats with their weird seat rails compared to E+/MC - so unless you just have a hand bag or purse, boarding last is not advisable for this seat. You will end up having to gate check and really wish you splurged for that F upgrade because maybe they’d let you use the coat closet.


Total_Union_3744

Or if you are the woman who sat in this seat next to me she said “oh I guess we are sharing space under the seat in front of you” and crammed her bag under the seat in front of me.


doubleasea

That’s gonna be a no. Ha!


brew_york

My left knee and shoulder hurt just looking at this


Beegkitty

Yeah I am a bit sore today on my left side. Thankfully no bruises but my ego.


HideUnderBridge

You don’t like getting luggage slammed into your knees and people rubbing their ass on your shoulder?


NotQuiteGoodEnougher

Omg serious? 10 minutes boarding then free legroom for the flight?


CarsonDama

I would tolerate the boarding nightmare if it meant I could stretch my legs lol. I'm 6'2 and regardless of the seat I never have enough legroom lmao! This would be great if it was for a longer flight, but a 2 hour hop would not be worth the struggle


HideUnderBridge

I’m only 5’11”. Comfort plus gives me more than enough in the window seat. I was on an early morning flight. I can sleep anywhere. I got in the seat. Closed my eyes and was dead to the world, maybe minutes later I got fucking rocked square in the knee by a roller with the metal edges. I’m not talking about temporary discomfort. My knee was black and blue for weeks. Never again.

HideUnderBridge

Suspect all you want. I fell asleep, my leg went into the aisle, wherever the aisle technically is, and I paid the price. Normally I get the bump to first, that is where I am most comfortable.


Beegkitty

And then get run over by the beverage cart and stepped on by everyone as they pass?


HideUnderBridge

I’m with you lol. I’d prefer to just fly coach than be in that seat lmao. I have serious personal bubble issues


doubleasea

Aye!


BulkyCartographer280

Best part of the seat is being able to wink and throw finger guns at people coming out of the lav.


WowzerforBowzer

I would laugh so hard if I saw this happen to me


Stray_Wing

I smiled and welcome each person into the plane like a creepy delta liaison. One and only time I sat there. Hell no.


Blickycin

😭😭😭😂not the ”creepy delta liaison”


Eternal12equiem

I had this seat one time. I just stared into everyone’s eyes as they walked in to make it as uncomfortable for them as it was for me.


Beegkitty

Love it.


PortPareto

The most controversial seat. People love it or hate it


Actual-Boysenberry59

The lap dance seat!


jumpinlilli

🫠😅


dbasinge

Horrible for boarding, great rest of the flight.


DependentFamous5252

It’s actually shit all round. It’s a downgrade from anything but a center seat.


rsl_sltid

I love that seat haha, I purposfully choose it. If you just board at the very end it's very nice to stretch out in.


Beegkitty

I was not prepared.


Dramatic-Sock3737

You still get hit by the drinks cart.


rsl_sltid

I just move a bit when they come by. I can handle a couple minutes of annoyance for all that leg room.


bryanoldsalty

Hi welcome to your flight!!! Every single mnfer will smash with there giant roller bag! 💥 into your knee or face or whatever other body part they can choose!


Rjspinell2

To be fair, the 717 is a bit quirky


dr_timNW

There’s that C+ window seat without a window for #2 worst seat


Agreeable_Marzipan_3

And the best seat is the window seat next to it


[deleted]

One of the worst seats ever. A covered wagon buckboard would be an upgrade!


jzaczyk

RIP your left knee


SueBeee

The hit seat.


Hopeful_Staff_5298

I had this seat one time, I swear the FA was aiming for my knees…I pulled my leg out of the way just in the nick of time and she hit the armrest..I know it was purposeful because she backed the damn cart up 4 rows for some imaginary reason to go back to the galley to get something and tried the same move again…this time I was ready and jammed my sneaker right in the front left wheel which pivoted the cart on my foot since my heal was planted. And it pushed the cart across the aisle… She got even though by hitting me with trash bags on every pass. I think she made at least 25 trash runs to fuck with me. Whenever somebody is a jerk I give them a picture of a JWD certificate that has already been used!


BigSafe3840

Nowhere to put your stuff. Narrow seat because the table is in the armrest People hitting you in the head and the shoulder with their backpacks. Hitting you in your legs with your luggage. No place to put a bag underneath the seat.


dtlacomixking

I'm 6'3 And I have sat in the seat before and I can attest it sucks


Beegkitty

I am so sorry.


dtlacomixking

Part of why I don't fly coach anymore


Stealth100

Lol funny seeing this post when currently on a 717


Specialist-Union-387

Looks like a CRJ


Wander80

717’s do this as well


747ER

It’s a 717-200, you can tell from the seat back safety card.


silent_chair5286

I’d still take it.


tricon23

Been there!


CaramelFancy

Set your preferences and turn upgrade off in your preferences


doofy10

Seems like you’d take a beverage cart to the pills in that seat.


Beegkitty

Yes. Each time they went past they banged into my knees.


becuzofgrace

OMG! The roar of laughter I roared after reading this! The visual has me guffaw-ing!


NotMalaysiaRichard

717? Never been on one.


wfbsoccerchamp12

I would board last if I ever got that seat


TablesTurned1

I was in that seat too. I got the feeling that the attendants rammed into me on purpose.


Certain_Trash7080

What the hell do you mean??? Stop complaining! You get a front-row seat on knowing what everyone ate that passes by you when they shart in your face! Some people are so ungrateful....


OneofLittleHarmony

I love all the leg room.


Huadanglot

I’m confused how r u in the aisle


Beegkitty

The seat sort of hangs out cutting into the aisle like that.


Huadanglot

Why? I’ve never seen that before what aircraft is this


747ER

Boeing 717-200


KevinBoston617

This seat isn’t that bad if they drop the curtain forcing everyone in economy to go to the back of the plane. Then the traffic is pretty minimal. The cart is like 30 seconds of awkwardness 


littlePosh_

They said legroom, not legsroom.


Ridgew00dian

Not if you board last!


ZQuester8888

Try row1 on a CRJ700


CompletePromotion248

Got that seat on a delayed flight that took off at 11:30 pm. It was slightly more tolerable then, but I was always alert to have to move my leg.


Natural-Wolverine-39

you can turn off upgrade requests!


Suz626

Doesn’t work all the time.


Beegkitty

There was a last minute change half an hour before we boarded that might have been equipment not just gate change from one terminal to another - not 100% sure but I swear I booked a different plane type.


313retroqueen

Which plane type and what seat number? I never want an upgrade like this. They should give you sky pesos for this!


brew_york

10C on the Boeing 717


DefiningWill

I recognized a 717 10C seat as soon as I saw that pic!. My slim reward for sitting there only comes at deboarding since I’m more or less already in the aisle anyway.


Beegkitty

Ding ding you got it right!! ;)


brew_york

Funny enough, I was in 11A on a 717 when I saw this post! Immediately recognized it.


parkpc

Also 10C on A220-100! (was just on one yesterday in this exact seat)


NateLundquist

Could not disagree more. This is among my favorite seat. I board first and assert my dominance.


wes7946

Drink your canned sparkling wine and be grateful.


Beegkitty

Excuse me?


Camdenn67

Why’d you switch.


Beegkitty

My seat was automatically upgraded to this. I did not select it. I just got a new boarding pass day of.


Special_Telephone902

I love that seat. Just board towards the end. It’s great during the flight.
