a few years ago on a flight to spain prior to departure me and my two traveling companions were asked to swap rows with 3 children who were sat in the over wing exit seats in front of us due to the fact they were deemed to young to young to operate the exit door in an emergency.my two companions were both over 6ft and lets say rather big boned.as we swapped seats i looked at the size of the exit door and then at my two companions and politley asked them if i could sit next to the window
well one never knows.
