What are the best airplane seats? What are the major advantages and
weak
spots for airplane seats in differents parts of a plane? How to choose
the right seat for yourself? We will try to answer
these and other questions for those of our readers who care about
airplane seating comfort.
The biggest difference between airplane seats is the class of travel.
Each class has its own seat standards. The airplane seat
legroom and seating width varies between different airlines and types
of airplanes. Of course, any airplane seat in the
business/ first class will be more
comfortable than one in the economy travel class, but if you
learn other not so visible but also very important airplane
seat details that vary from one seat to another within the same travel
class, it may help you make better choices and add more comfort to your
air travel. You have to consider all pros and cons for each seating
location to figure out which one would be the right choice for YOU.
Only you can answer this question: what is best airplane seat for me?

when flying with a child, so your spouse and you can "lock" the kid in
between; when flying in a group.
Bad:
least privacy on board
Book your airplane ticket as much in advance as possible and secure
your seats also as
early as you can. If you have special needs or travel with children,
let your travel agent know about that, so the best available airplane
seat would be reserved for you according to your situation.
After booking your flight, you should find out which type of aircraft
you
will be flying on. Visit the
airline's web
site and learn the airplane seat map of your carrier's
airplane.

web site contain all necessary information for finding bad and good
seating areas in any particular type of airplane.
As soon as the airplane door is shut, you are allowed to move to any
available seat. Use this chance to occupy the airplane seat that suits
you best, may be even two seats or a whole row, so you can
later lie down and have a comfortable sleep.
