Arabia Weather - Whether you prefer the window seat or the seats on the aisle, choosing the best seat on the plane remains a confusing task, however, there is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to the best seats on the plane, as it depends on your needs. In the following article, we offer tips on how to ensure that you get the perfect seat for your comfort while traveling.

Choosing the best seats on the plane

1- The best seat to reduce the effects of turbulence

Different parts of the plane vibrate more than others when passing through turbulence , and the most stable and best seats to avoid the effects of air turbulence are the ones located above the wings, because these seats are close to the center of gravity in the plane, and turbulence is usually more visible in the back rows closest to tail, the feeling of the swaying of the aircraft is more obvious.

2- Quietest seats on an airplane

Noises are bound to occur on the plane, from the sound of seat belt banging to annoying children and conversations between passengers. Some are simply unavoidable, but some seats are usually quieter than others, and the seats farther from the toilets, and the seats closer to the front of the plane are also a little quieter than the seats above the wing or in the back (depending on where the engines are located), and finally If you want to avoid the sound of the food cart and any chatter in the aisle, choose a seat near the window.

3- Seats with more leg room

If optimum legroom is what you are looking for, it may depend on the aircraft model. Usually, the seats in the first row beyond the dividing wall or the galley have the most legroom than any other seat on the plane, and there are also emergency exit seats that have the most legroom than any other seat on the plane. Usually with more leg room than a regular seat.

4- The best seats for sleeping

If you are one of those lucky people who can sleep on a plane, you can choose the seats at the bulkhead, if you don't need a seat in front of you to lean on, and window seats are also ideal if you like to lean to one side while sleeping. As for the seats that should be avoided if you want to sleep during the flight, they are those located next to the toilets, the kitchen and the corridor seats because they will hinder your sleep due to the inconvenience and noise of movement.

5- Best seats to have an empty seat next to you

Having an empty seat next to you can make your travel experience more comfortable. The best chance of getting an empty seat next to you is to head towards the back because most passengers choose seats at the front of the plane and in the aisle or window seat. The last seats to be selected are the middle seats in the back of the plane, and if it's a large, two-aisle plane, sit in the middle sections of the seats instead of the side sections.

If you are traveling as a couple, book both the aisle and window seat, no one will prefer to sit in the middle seat, and if someone takes the middle seat, it will not be difficult to convince them to switch with one of you and take the window or aisle so you can sit next to each other.

6- The best seat for getting out of the plane quickly

Without a doubt, the best option for a quicker exit is the aisle seat closest to the front exit. You will avoid the queues of people trying to get off the plane and all the fuss and time involved in people pulling their luggage from the overhead compartments.

7- The best seat for the largest person

Larger passengers usually find the aisle seat more comfortable. Larger travelers will find that some airlines are better than others to ensure they have enough room to sit comfortably. For example, Air Canada allows larger passengers to request an additional seat for free for travel within Canada. Delta Air Lines prioritizes larger passengers seating next to empty seats, when available.

8- The best seats for traveling with children

Family travel isn't easy, so putting in the effort in choosing the best seats for the family can make things go a lot smoother during the flight. If you are traveling with an infant, you must request a cot seat / Skycoat cot seat, but be sure to book in advance as these seats are required as they are located at the bulkhead.

In general, families may want to sit in the front seats as it provides extra legroom, and the ability to get on/off the plane with carry-on baggage is easier. On the other hand, families may also like to sit in the back next to the toilet.
