I flew SAS Trondheim to Oslo yesterday on a 737-400. The emergency exit was row 9 but did not have the usual extra legroom found at exit rows. It looked as if the normal gap between what were now rows 8 and 10 had row 9 slotted in between them for extra seating. This impression was added to by the fact that both row 8 and row 9 seatbacks had the exit opening instuctions on them and the row 9 seatback was directly in line with the emergency hatch opening handle. The only apparent mitigation was that row 9 had no window seats but pax would still have needed to squeeze between row 8 seatbacks and row 9 armrests in an emergency.
