Emergency Exit Row

The Emergency Exit Row in an airplane is the seating area adjacent to the emergency doors used during evacuations. These rows are strategically placed and designed for quick and easy access in the event of an emergency. Passengers seated here must be physically capable and willing to assist the crew during an evacuation. For corporate travelers, booking an Emergency Exit Row can offer enhanced comfort due to the extra legroom—an attractive feature for long-haul flights. However, not all travelers are eligible to sit in these seats. Airlines require that passengers be over a certain age, speak the required language (usually English), and not have any physical limitations or be traveling with dependents. When companies manage travel for employees, especially for executives or frequent flyers, these seats can be requested as part of travel preferences. Travel management platforms like TripGain may allow travelers to select these rows while complying with airline regulations and safety requirements.
