We flew to Cabo San Lucas with Suntrips several years ago. I won the trip. I'm not sure what carrier they contracted with, but those seats were similar to park benches. Ouch!

I travel about 30 times a year. My all-time favorite plane is an AA 777. You can get these on routes to LAX, MIA and ORD (and international destinations). Coach seats are the most comfortable coach seats in the industry and don even get me started on first! I will alter my travel plans to fly on one of these beauties. Super 80's are the most common planes I fly on. I generally take 29D because I am most likely to get the entire row to myself. If I book the E seat AA blocks one of the seats next to me and I am almost assured of a space between me and the next person.<BR>I personally hate exit row seats because of the food tray. I work on the plane and prefer to have some distance between me and my laptop.<BR>I generally do not upgrade on S80's because the first class is always full of upgraders and row 29 is roomier with the strategy above.<BR>

Curious,<BR>Since you are so convinced you're right and everybody is wrong(judging from your last post - YELLING!), how do you explain the fact that AA MD-80 has 115 coach seats, CO has 127, and DL has 128, and they all have 14 first class seats? I'm not sure which part of airline industry you were working for all these years, but before you make an idiot of yourself I suggest you check the facts.

As long as that big bird in the sky lands softly at my destination I am very pleased with any seat toward the front. The front is about 1/3 less bumpy than the back.
