Ryanair passengers are being urged to avoid booking seat 11A on Boeing 737 aircraft, as it famously lacks a window. The seat has been dubbed “Europe’s most hated” due to its windowless design.
Travel blogger Christina from Happy to Wander advised: “If you do end up paying for seat selection, do avoid the notorious 11A on the Boeing 737 planes, because as many people have shared on social media, this window seat is very special because it comes with no window at all.”
The absence of a window is due to the aircraft’s air conditioning system. On the Boeing 737-800, a duct for the air conditioning system is located next to seat 11A, blocking the window. Similarly, seats 12A, 12F, 14A, and 14F also have partially blocked windows.
Last year, a passenger shared a video on social media with the caption: “POV: Nobody warned you about 11A seat on Ryanair.” The airline responded humorously that windows are “overrated”. Ryanair does warn passengers during booking that the seat lacks a window.
The Boeing 737-800 is part of the 737 Next Generation series, launched in 1997, with over 7,000 in service globally. Ryanair, founded in 1984, operates across 240 airports in 39 countries.
