Can anyone sit in an emergency exit row?

No, for safety reasons, you can only sit in an emergency exit seat if you are:

  • 16 years or older;
  • Willing and able to help in the event of an emergency;
  • Travelling without an infant (this also applies to pax with seats leading to emergency exit rows);
  • Do not require airport special assistance of any kind;
  • Do not require a seat belt extender;
  • Have no extra comfort seat booked.

Only able-bodied adults are permitted to sit at emergency seat rows as you may be called upon to assist crew members in the unlikely event of an emergency evacuation.
