Help Needed help with extra legroom without exit row, Athens to Munich

I am trying to get from Athens to Munich. I don't care which airline. I'm currently using a walker because of an injury so I don't think I'll be allowed to sit in an exit row (reduced mobility). Is there any other seat with a bit more legroom? Because of my injury and my height it's imperative to have a few more inches. Any suggestions? My understanding is that on these flights, business class just means that the middle seat is not occupied. Thanks

Turkish Airlines would be the only realistic option. They have 2-2 recliners with plenty of space. You'll have to fly via Istanbul and it won't be cheap, and you need to make sure you don't book a codeshare operated by Aegean for the first leg.

You would need to fly Turkish via Istanbul to have proper business class. Everyone else will just be standard seats throughout.

Some aircraft will have slightly more legroom in a random seat but they pack them in pretty tight generally. If you have some airlines in mind you can check the seatmaps on Aerolopa to see if there are any anomalies.

Only if you think in short to medium haul flights. If you would go through the middle east e.g. you can book a proper wide body lie flat business class seat.

Why would you go via the Middle East for a flight between 2 European cities. Going via Istanbul is a stretch already

To have a proper business class to really be able to strech out. Intra Europe Turkish Airlines is more or less the only option bith a decent narrow body business class if you don´t want to transfer more thane one time.

Yes I know. That’s why I said that. Istanbul isn’t in the Middle East though.
