DEFINITELY go for the extra room on Jet Blue! Worth every penny. I'm only 5'1" (on a good day ;) ) but was really glad we had the exit row! My husband is a foot taller and even more appreciative of those extra inches. Used to be that the only option for improved seating was the exit row, but I see that now they've reconfigured the aircrafts to offer more rows up front with extra space . :app:
