My personal experience seated at emergency exits :
Lufthansa, A320 overwing exit :
No briefing at all, just placards on the seat.
Air Berlin, 737 new outward opening overwing exits :
No briefing at all, just placards on the seat.
British Airways, EM135 overwing exit :
Good briefing by the F/A, she removed the cover and showed me the handle to open the exit, detailded instructions to throw out the door after opening it inward, excellent.
On the flight back I asked again for the same seat (more legspace
), but was refused and placed somewhere else. Don´t know why.
Japan Airlines, 747 upper deck emergency exit:
With the boarding pass I recieved a yellow paper, stating that I have been seated at an emergency exit and will be briefed by a F/A. No briefing occured. Then I asked the F/A, showing the yellow paper, only answer was "Don´t touch anything"
