What are the exit rows on the AZ A321? According to seatguru, they are rows 9 and 22. From the Delta website (the particular flight I'll be on, FCO-CTA, is also a DL codeshare) it looks like it's row 24 instead, since seats 23A and 23F do not exist. A google search was inconclusive, seemingly getting both answers.

On a related note, for an intra-Italy flight, would the people sitting in the exit row be required to be fluent in Italian? English is an official language of aviation, but one result of the aforementioned google search was a thread that said that Air France had kicked someone out of the exit row for not being able to speak French on an intra-France flight. I probably know more Italian than the average tourist but I'm hardly capable of a conversation in Italian, much less having to understand orders in a panic situation.

Check the alitalia website.

It's less than 1hr in the hr. Does it matter what seat you have?

We ad exit row seats on a recent Alitalia flight to Rome and it was a nightmare because that row was used as a passageway to the nearby toilets. We had more usable footroom in a standard cattle car class seat on the way home.
