ljl gaygpt say it comes down to your HEIGHT (im 5'11.5 btw)
Whether paying **\$24 extra for an exit row** on your **3-hour flight from Iceland to Copenhagen** is worth it depends on your priorities. Here's a breakdown:
---
## βοΈ Flight Overview
* **Route**: Iceland → Copenhagen → London
* **Flight cost**: \$279.30 total (likely includes both legs)
* **Extra seat cost**: \$24 for exit row (for just the Iceland → CPH leg)
---
## π Is It Worth \$24?
### β
Worth It If:
| Situation | Why |
| ------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| You're **tall** or dislike cramped seats | Exit rows offer **\~4–6 inches more legroom** than regular seats |
| You want **quicker boarding or deplaning** | Often located near front or mid-cabin |
| You like **fewer neighbors** | Often fewer people in these rows |
| You're on a **tight layover** in CPH | May help exit faster for your connection |
---
### β Not Worth It If:
| Situation | Why |
| -------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
| You're **under 5'10"** and don't need legroom | Standard seat will be fine for 3 hrs |
| You're trying to **minimize total trip cost** | \$24 is \~9% of your entire airfare, not a minor markup |
| You plan to **sleep** and don't need the extra space | Exit rows often have non-reclining seats or fixed armrests |
| It's a **low-cost airline** with sparse amenities anyway | Legroom might not be dramatically better |
---
### π‘ Final Verdict:
| Priority | Recommendation |
| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------- |
| **Comfort over cost** | β
Yes, worth \$24 for 3 hours |
| **Budget over comfort** | β Save the \$24 — it's a short flight |
| **Tall (6'+)** or have back/leg issues | β
Definitely worth it |
---
If you’re 5’10”+ or just value a more pleasant experience, the **\$24 is reasonable**. Otherwise, you could skip it and use that money toward a nicer meal in Copenhagen or London.
Let me know the airline and seat map — I can check if the exit row is actually a *good* one (some have misaligned windows or immovable armrests).
