exit row
Legroom premium seats
An exit row is a row of seats on an airplane adjacent to an emergency exit door.
These rows typically offer more legroom but come with responsibilities—passengers seated there must be willing and able to assist with evacuation if needed.
Flight attendants confirm this before takeoff: Can everyone in the exit row assist in an emergency?
