Bulkhead/Exit Row Seats Addiction

[Awesom Andy]

I always wondered, is it just me, or do other frequent flyers who travel in Y get addicted to bulkhead/exit rows seats even when they are not on a plane? e.g. when I board a bus, I would find myself looking for the emergency exit row or the front bulkhead seats.

Do you find yourself looking for the priority boarding lane at the bus stop?

Interesting thought - each circumstance may be different but every seat may have it's innate preferential attributes, some more important, some less.

On a bus my main preference for seating, should I have an option , is for as near as possible to the dorr I will be using to exit the bus.

SO while the option may be different, the regime is similar.

What's a bus stop?

I have never really thought about it before. But now that i do, i have realised i tend to always sit in a seat adjacent to the rear exit from a bus when I'm travelling to and from uni. Maybe i will change it up on Monday and sit in row 88.

I start to panic if I am not sitting in a bulkhead or exit row. Thanks to Qantas now charging for exit rows on international flights the best I can hope for is to sit in a bulkhead which I get most times.

The news with other carriers though in economy is not that good but one can easily get around that by spending a little extra and booking a business class award. And once you are in business class it really does not matter if you are in bulkhead or exit row but some seats can actually feel like sitting on benches. But now I am getting away from the actual topic....

Qantas has trained me not to.

I have gotten on a bus twice in the last 10 years. And that's only because my daughter wanted to go on the bus. Then she wanted to sit right up the back. Do you know how loud it is back there? You're sitting on the engine!

The best place on a bus is behind the driver. You're near the door, and the driver will instinctively try not to imprint his face on something in the event of an accident.

In a train I like to go for the high ground, and the rear of the carriage. I don't like people behind me.

I'm actually not a big fan of door exit rows. Overwing exits I like though. I hate being anywhere near galleys and toilets. And bulkheads, because bulkheads can mean infants.

Bulkhead is often a misunderstood word by some punters & used when they mean the exit row or just a good seat in general. If you say to them a bulkhead seat is in front of the wall they'll say "no I want a seat in the 'escape hatch' or 'fire exit".

I must admit I always choose the bulkhead row when traveling BA A320 and AA 737 on RTW business
And by that I mean the first row. I find I get all the room I need with no one reclining onto you....
