Don’t get stuck in a middle seat near a bathroom on your next flight. With a little time and effort, you can be sitting pretty.
Step 1: Figure out your priorities
There is no single “best seat” on an airplane — all have their pros and cons — so decide what’s important to you. Legroom? Peace and quiet? A quick exit? A smooth ride?
Step 2: Check out seats
Don’t assume anything about a seat without checking it out. Some bulkhead seats don’t offer extra legroom, some “window” seats are between windows and therefore offer little view, and many exit seats, while providing more legroom, are narrower than other seats.
Tip
Find out what kind of plane you’ll be on and then visit “seatexpert.com”:http:// or “seatguru.com”:http://. Click on any seat to see its pros and cons.
Step 3: Buy a better seat
Pay a small fee to ensure you get a seat with the most legroom. Many airlines now identify their best seats on their websites and charge for them accordingly.
Step 4: Don’t forget about reclining
Take reclining into account. If you like to sit back, avoid the last rows in any section. If you hate people leaning into your lap, try to snare an exit seat; the seats in front of those rows usually don’t recline.
Tip
Exit row seats are often not assigned until check-in. To snag one, get to the airport early.
Step 5: Consider the pitch
Consider the pitch of the seat, which is the distance between your seat and the one in front of you. You’ll find this information on airline seat websites.
Step 6: Take turbulence into account
Take turbulence into account. If you’re a white-knuckle flyer, sit over the front of the wing; that’s where you’re least likely to feel turbulence. Avoid the back, where you’ll feel every bump.
Step 7: Consider the noise
If you need peace and quiet, avoid sitting in the back, where the engines are the loudest. And steer clear of the bulkhead, where families with babies are usually seated.
Step 8: Book early
When you buy your ticket, be sure to book your specific seat, either online or by calling the airline directly.
Tip
Increase your odds of sitting beside an empty middle seat by requesting a back row where either the aisle or window seat is already booked. The middle seats in back rows fill up last.
Step 9: Check back the day before
Check back 24 hours before your flight; this is when prime seating often is released. Plus, airlines occasionally switch planes, possibly turning your chosen seat into an undesirable one!
Step 10: Join a good-seat program
If you’re a frequent flyer, consider joining an airline program that guarantees a good seat for an annual fee.

shah rukh khan
I did
Lol this was published on 2008 but I born on 2009
I’d love to sit in the back
Wow, the only plane that i’ve ever ride are the 737 and 320… so sad…
please note that seats reserved on the internet or you pay a extra fee to have do not by law guarantee that seat. Dont be surprised if you are asked to move as the seat is required for disabled persons by primary legislation within the EU and UK. Take a seat reservation as a preference not a guarentee as airlines not complying with primary legislation upon disability could find themselves fined and held at the gate until they comply with such legislation. A reservation of a suitable seat for disabled such as extra legroom is a non enforcable contract in law and is subject to disability access law. Be warey about paying for something the airline cannot sell you by law!
So hope I get a window seat
I always sit at the back because people always sit in the front and my mom doesnt like sitting in the front because of disasters i sat in the front one time and saw the inside of the cockpit it was cool :d
