When it comes to seating on air planes, unlike many people who like emergency exits seats because of the extra leg room, I dislike those seats because you have to put all of your luggage and coat in the overhead compartment for take-off and landing (even your tiny purse) for security reasons, too much of a hassle for me, I like my ipod, purse and books at hand
I like the seats immediately after or before the emergency exit rows, simply because I am told that those are the most secure.

ps I am wondering whether the woman in the in-flight safety video is an actual Delta flight attendant or an actress/model

I was wondering the same thing.
I think she looks more like an actress than a real flight attendant. Don’t you think?
