My American Airlines flight has 2 exit rows….which row provides the most leg room
100% Traveling for Miles
When American Airlines aircraft have two exit rows, the rear‑most exit row generally provides the most legroom.
What the reviews say
- On the A321S the reviewer notes that “the better seats are usually in the second of the two exit rows because the seats in the first row don’t recline and that makes the second row the most spacious outside of First Class”.
- A similar observation appears for the A320 family, where the second exit row is described as the “most spacious”.
- For the 777‑200, a passenger who booked a row 31 exit seat says the legroom “can’t be beaten,” implying it outperforms other exit‑row locations on that aircraft. 🔗
- The 777‑300ER Premium Economy exit‑row seats (row 16) are highlighted for “fantastic amount of legroom,” but no comparison to another exit row is given.
Practical tip
If you can choose between the two exit rows on an American Airlines flight, aim for the row that is farther back (the second exit row) because it typically offers more legroom and a recline, while the forward exit row often lacks recline and can feel tighter.
