I'm swearing off exit rows, though, because the last few I've sat in have had non-reclining seats.
I like the exit rows, as I know there will be enough leg room for me. Since I'm so tall, many regular seats just aren't big enough.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Never have flown on any of the Russian models. Flew on a VC-10 once -- I left my retainers on my dinner tray, didn't realize it until our refueling stop in Amman, Jordan, and spent a frantic 20 minutes finding them in the galley. Not fun.
As for the rest, DC-9 is what came to mind, then I remembered they don't call it that anymore....

Nana korobi, ya oki. (Fall down seven times, stand up eight.) ~Yuzuru Hanyu/Japanese proverb
The only time I even came close to motion sickness was the first time I flew. It was a small prop job from Alpena, MI to Milwaukee, WI. I sat right over the wing and the vibration nearly did me in. After that, never a problem no matter the size of the plane or where I sat.
I like flying. Take-offs are my favorite part. I like having a window seat for them, but once we're up, I could care less where I sit. So, a lot of the time I'll take aisle seats because most of the places I fly to, I've been before and there's nothing new to see.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I'm surprised at how much my state of mind affects my motion sickness. It's the feeling of not being in control that gets to me, especially in turbulence.
Mine is totally physical, and I am happy to finally find meds that work, because the next person that tells me to just relax when I am getting sick will die bloody.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Welcome back, Kristin. I am sorry I missed you, due to some of those mixed signals.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I need to lean back more than need to have my legs unbent -- if I were going to stay awake, it might be the other way round. I can't sleep straight up without drugs or alcohol.

Motion sickness. Somebody once put it: "At first you are afraid you are going to die; then you are afraid you won't."

I like to have an aisle row if the flight is much over an hour, since I don't like to sit for more than that, but for really short flights, I like the window seat.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Happy birthday, Christopher!
Welcome back, Kristin. Missed you.

Oh, and does anyone want to take a look at my résumé and offer suggestions?

You need to figure out which row you're getting - the exit row with another exit row behind it won't recline. The back one ususally will.
