Is it required to disclose the reason when a passenger moves out of the exit row seat?

• A. No
• B. Yes
• C. Only if requested by crew
• D. Only on international flights

Answer: (A)

In the exit row, the key point is that the passenger must be able and willing to assist in an evacuation. This is a safety requirement, not a matter of sharing personal details. If you move out of the exit row, there is no obligation to disclose the reason for moving. The crew may ask if you have any safety-related concerns or if you can still comply with evacuation duties, but you’re not required to reveal why you are leaving. If the reason would impact your ability to assist in an emergency, the crew may re-seat you to maintain a qualified person in the exit row; otherwise, moving for comfort or other reasons doesn’t require disclosure. This applies on all flights, domestic and international.
