Calculating the best seat in economy - airline flight tips - flight attendant/ cabin crew

"Sir, you don't get a choice in seat, you HAVE to sit at the front, you're the PILOT!"

The way I pick my seat: “Window seat cool I like seeing cloud☁️☁️☁️”

[Swimmmy_]

I agree, I love the aisle seats. I don’t mind having to get up and move for people but I hate having to ask others to move.

When you're 6'5" flying economy emergency exit seats are the way to go

“Seats near the bathroom, stink like shit...” I love it.

Use the bathroom before the flight, pick a window seat to lean your head against the side. Also, this is the ideal seat for introverts!

Once, I was stuck on a 10 hour flight, heat was cranked ALL the way up, middle seat, person in front of me’s chair reclined nearly all the way back, sweater I couldn’t take off bc nothing underneath, claustrophobia, and screaming baby. Fun times 😊

Well, for personal preference, I like the window seat because I can control the amount of natural light goes into the our row. And the view.

Literally this is my process:
1. 'by the window'- yes
2. Cheap- yes

I refuse to sit anywhere but the Aisle seat for a few reasons.

1. My social Anxiety can not handle asking people to move let alone wake them up to ask them.

2.Easier for me to get out and get my carryon than it is for middle and window

3. For some reason I feel safer there.

(I have a fear of Flying
takeoff I get through okay and landing Is a bit worse for me since the plane goes sideways as well it can be a bumpy landing. The turbulence absolutely terrifies me. )

On long haul flights I prefer the seats backing against the galley kitchen - smelling food is better, no one kicking the back of your seat, reclining without worrying, extra storage behind, better interactions with the flight attendants.

"Eliminate all window"

Me: /who likes sitting next to the window
Oh shi–

[WilmaWestenberg]

I swear, this is how I do it allll the time! I set an alarm when online check-in opens and always get seats that row 😂 you forgot to stay away as far as possible from the crying babies in row 44 tho🤓

[darkally]

Personally I prefer to be ahead of the wing when possible as it reduces the engine noise.

For short flights I agree, for long flights (+ 4 hours) I would go with 44J ⭐️ only during take of and landing you have the inconvenience of leaving your bag on the overhead compartment and have the TV hiding in the seat. But once you are on the air, you can take your bag and put in on the floor in front of you, having enough space to lift you feet on top of you bag, lean on the wall next to the the window, and sleep live a baby. And anytime you have to go to the bathroom or need to stand a little, you don’t need to bother anyone because you have enough space Thant you can just walk in front of the other people seating next to you. I’ve done this in a 11 hour flight and it was worth paying the reserved seat, best long flight I’ve had

I usually take the window seat in those rows if I’m flying with my family, because I love looking out the window and asking people to move when it’s your family isn’t that bad 😆

Meanwhile, there's me choosing seats with statistically the best survival rate.

*This is low-key the most valuable video on YouTube*

I wrote down everything you said. Actually though, it is amazing advice!

[cheh]

I once didn't book the last seats because of this video (you said they don't recline). The plane was changed, so I ended up getting the last row and it was the best thing ever!
I could actually recline the seat and no one was bothered by it! It was just great! And it was calm and quiet because no one was behind me. Additionally, I was close to the bathroom _(without the smell)_ and close to the cabin crew. I also had a window for myself and no one could take it away or be bothered by it! 🤩😁

The seats in the front have a ton of leg room and none of that weird “excuse me” to use the bathroom. Those are my absolute favorite. Window seat preferred too
