Selling Emergency Exit Seats
I am looking forward to a (thankfully) short holiday charter flight at the weekend and as I am quite tall was thinking about phoning the airline to try to get an emergency exit seat with some extra legroom. However their website is offering such seats as an "upgrade" - at a price obviously. I know the airline needs every last pound but it doesn't seem right to offer these seats as a different class. I thought that only certain categories of pax were supposed to be put next to the exit ie capable of opening it and not likely to hang around trying to get kids/granny out. Any thoughts on the legality of this practice?
