Editing Exit row (section)

==Passenger criteria==
Since passengers seated in an exit row must be able and willing to assist the crew during an evacuation of the aircraft, civil aviation boards and national governments set specific requirements for passengers seated in an exit row. While exact requirements vary by country and airline, frequently exit row passengers must:

*Be of a certain minimum age, ranging from 12 to 18 depending on the airline's policies and/or local law.
*Not be traveling with anyone requiring special assistance in an emergency (such as an infant or person with a disability), or an animal (including service animals)
*Have no physical or mental impairment that would hinder quickly reaching and operating the emergency exit.
*Speak and read the national language of the airline's home country (e.g. English on [[Qantas]] or German on [[Lufthansa]], etc.)
*Not use a seatbelt extension.
*Be able to lift 27&nbsp;kg/60&nbsp;lb (for window exits only).<ref>http://www.qantas.com.au/travel/airlines/seat-selection/global/en#exit-row-seats</ref>

Some carriers require passengers with an exit row seat assignment to check in with an agent (as opposed to online or at a kiosk), who will manually verify eligibility and issue a boarding pass.<ref>http://www.qantas.com.au/travel/airlines/seat-selection-conditions/global/en#exitrow</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://airnzau.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3015/~/who-can-book-exit-row-seats%3F|title=Seat Select - Travel extras - Book {{pipe}} Air New Zealand – Australia}}</ref>
