Ever wondered which seats on a plane are the best—and which ones you should avoid at all costs? A professional pilot has revealed the ultimate guide to picking the perfect spot, ensuring your next flight is as comfortable as possible.
The Best Seats for a Smooth Flight
According to the expert, the ideal seats are often near the wings. "This area experiences less turbulence because it’s closer to the plane’s centre of gravity," the pilot explains. Additionally, window seats in this section offer stability and a quieter ride.
Seats to Avoid
If you dislike turbulence, steer clear of the rear of the aircraft. "The back tends to feel more movement during flight," warns the pilot. Other spots to skip include seats near lavatories and galleys due to noise and foot traffic.
Extra Legroom: Worth It?
Exit rows and bulkhead seats provide more space, but the pilot cautions: "These seats may have stricter requirements, and you might be asked to assist in an emergency." If you’re not comfortable with that, opt for a standard seat with extra padding instead.
Final Travel Tip
For the smoothest experience, the pilot recommends checking seat reviews on airline websites before booking. "A little research goes a long way in ensuring a pleasant journey," they say.
