RE: BA A319 & 757 Seating
Try and get a seat close to the front, they have an extra 3" of legroom. On the Airbus, no need to worry about missing windows cause there arent any. On the Boeing its a different matter! Although you should be ok if you get a seat between doors 1 and 2 or between doors 3 and 4.
