Yeah but it's not just the exit rows that are reserved for the frequent flyers...it's the rows AROUND the exit rows, where there is none of the extra leg room. As far as I can tell, the only advantage to those seats is their proximity to the emergency exit.
Also: aren't there TWO exit rows? One of which is closer to the back and not marked as such? What are those lines sticking out of the side of the plane?
No, I mean the lines that are perpendicular to the sides of the plane...the wing lines are swept back.
One set of perpendicular lines sticks out in the middle of the marked exit row, which would seem to indicate that it's an emergency exit or something. But there's another set of the same lines farther back on the plane, between rows 24 and 25...but the seats aren't marked as exit rows.
Anyway, I'm obviously missing the point of what you were getting at to begin with so I'll just shut up until someone else comes up with the correct answer. :p
Yeah, I went and googled the plane type to see how many exit rows it actually had heh.
I wasn't overthinking...I was misinterpreting the lines on the diagram. I thought the two backswept lines were the front and back of ONE set of wings, not the fronts of two sets of wings, and I saw the perpendicular lines as indicators of exit routes. :)
I'm with you. My brain automatically filtered out four wings as stupid and interpreted it as two wings. But then I had a vague sense of unease about the whole exercise...
