Preferred Seating - Emergency Dec 14th 2011, 11:00 Although not all airlines restrict the booking of exit row seating be forewarned - if you or someone you are traveling with falls under the restrictions placed on the emergency exit rows, you/they will be reseated. The inflight crew will not ignore safety procedures, which certainly does include whether a passenger should or shouldn't be seated in the exit row. So what passengers may be barred from being seated in an emergency exit row? Children under 12 (sometimes up to 15) years old Unaccompanied minors Infants Passengers with any physical or mental limitations that may affect a passenger's ability to perform the functions required to remove the door and/or clear the path in the case of an emergency Passengers traveling with a pet or service animal Passengers who do not feel comfortable with the idea of performing the necessary duties in the case of an emergency Passengers who do not speak any of the languages used by the crew on board (passengers in the exit row need to be able to understand safety instructions in the case of an emergency) Passengers who have requested additional assistance from the airline, whether it be assistance to or from the aircraft, additional assistance on board, etc. The extra legroom can almost make you forget that your elbows are snuggly planted against your rib cage, but the emergency exit row comes with restrictions. Make sure that you do not fall under those restrictions when you secure a seat in order to avoid the disappointment or frustration of being reseated.
