How to choose best airline seats

Here are some tips for choosing the best airplane seats.

It’s crucial to pick the appropriate seat when making a flight reservation. When making a reservation or checking in online, more airlines now give you the option to pay and reserve your seats online. This is the most secure way to attempt to secure the seat of your choice, but keep in mind that it is not always a guarantee that you will get this seat on your flight.

Front section

A smooth and quiet ride is frequently experienced when sitting in the front of the plane. You’re more likely to get your preferred meal choice in the front because the staff typically starts there before moving to the back to serve food and beverages.

Most of the time, the middle seat is the least desired position. This is especially true on airlines where the centre section of the cabin may offer a 5-across layout. If you choose the middle seat, you will have to ask two other passengers to move every time you need to use the washroom, stretch your legs, or do other things.

Window seats

A window seat may be the best choice if you want to board the flight and sleep as effectively as possible. You also have the outer cabin wall to lean against so you won’t wake up your fellow passengers. But keep in mind that some aircraft have more curved cabin walls than others, so a window seat may feel like it has less shoulder room than other seats.

Exit Row

You do get a lot more legroom in an exit seat. The majority of airlines now charge an extra fee to sit in the exit rows, while others will assign at check-in. It’s surprising that some airlines still favour these seats for significantly taller passengers.

Avoid the Toilet and Galley areas!

On most aeroplanes, the toilet flush is incredibly loud, and after several hours of continuous repetition, you will find this incessant noise interruption to be very annoying. This is in addition to the obvious fact that being seated next to or directly behind the toilet can result in unpleasant odours and other things wafting around you. You might grow weary of the light intrusion during the night or while you are sleeping. Additionally, similar to some bulkhead or exit seat positions, you will discover that there are frequently a lot of passengers milling around your seat area as they line up for the washroom.

The level of pedestrian traffic between the cabin staff and passengers will be much higher if you are seated next to or across from the galley areas. Additionally, the curtains may not always be kept closed, allowing for light intrusion, and no matter how hard the staff tries, the preparation and clearing of meals will result in the galleys being quite noisy during these times of the flight.

The discovery of metal debris outside the airport has raised concerns, prompting the DGCA to probe whether these fragments are linked to the aircraft involved in the emergency landing. Authorities are particularly focused on whether the metal pieces, which were found near the airport, originated from the same Air India Express flight that experienced engine trouble.

While preliminary assessments suggest that the debris could be a broken blade from an aircraft engine, the exact source remains unconfirmed. The airline has yet to verify if the metal fragments are from their aircraft.
