Instructions for choosing the best seats on the plane. Diagrams of the cabins of different aircraft.
Air transport is considered one of the most comfortable and safest. To make the trip go well, you need to take care of the places in advance. In this article we will tell you how to choose the best seats on the plane.
If you take into account the safety criteria, then all places are the same. There are no more dangerous or safe ones. In general, the seats in the first row of business class are considered the best. It's spacious, and food and drinks will be brought to you the fastest. In general, you should choose places based on your own preferences.
Selecting a location:
- If you are flying with kids, then reserve a seat in the front row in advance. There is an opportunity to fix the cradle or install a car seat. But for those who want to work, there is no point in booking a place there. It is usually quite noisy there due to the large number of children.
- The tail of the plane is always shaking and there will be less tasty food left. Based on the “what’s left” principle.
- The most comfortable seats are by the window. They book up the fastest. Therefore, reserve a comfortable seat in advance.
- If you don't like noise, then you shouldn't choose the middle rows. It is in this area that the engine is located. Therefore there is a lot of noise.
It all depends on the duration of the trip and the composition of passengers.
Adviсe:
- There are usually a lot of children in the front row. This is due to the ability to attach car seats and bassinets. Therefore, if you want silence, then do not take these places.
- The business class seats in the front are considered the most comfortable. The service comes here the fastest.
- The tail is quite uncomfortable. But if you take security into account, these are the most reliable places. In the event of a crash, passengers in these places will remain alive.
- The emergency hatches are not very convenient. The seats here are fixed and do not recline. On the contrary, the emergency exits have spacious places and you can stretch your legs. This makes sense when you are tall.
- The window seats are comfortable if you are flying during the day. No one will disturb you, but when going to the toilet you will have to walk through the entire row.
At the moment, such aircraft are considered the most comfortable and reliable in terms of technical characteristics.
Such vessels were first tested back in 1998. After this, airplanes became widespread. Available in three versions - two-class, three-class and one-class. Before departure, find out which Boeing and how many classes there are. This will make it easier for you to choose a location. Print out the diagrams at home and choose your seats at the airport.
Features of the location of seats on the plane:
- In total, the plane has two rows of seats with three seats each. Choose a window seat if you want to admire the panoramas. Those who are flying for the first time choose seats along the aisle.
- If you plan to work, then choose seats in the first row of business class. There is a decent amount of space and no one will lean on your feet.
- The worst places are near the toilet. There is always a queue there and you can hear the noise from the engines.
- There is a three-class Boeing model. It has business class, economy class and tourist seats. The worst places can be considered tourist places. The distance between the seats is only 75 cm, which is quite close for tall people. Therefore, in such a Boeing it is worth choosing business or economy class seats.
Below are diagrams of different classes of Boeings.

How to choose the best, safest, most comfortable seat on a Boeing 737: layout, seat numbering, tips
This Boeing is quite common in Russia and can simultaneously transport 400 people. There are two classes in total on the plane. These are economy and business class. At the same time, the backrest in economy class reclines only 60 degrees. In business class it is 180, and the distance between the rows is increased.
Adviсe:
- Rows 5-7 are business class. One of the most convenient and comfortable places.
- 121 row. This is the first row of economy class. There will be no one in front of you and plenty of legroom. Passengers with children are often accommodated.
- 125 row. It's near the restroom, right next to the wall. Therefore, there is often a queue and constant noise.
Below is a diagram of the aircraft.

There are a large number of these aircraft. You can transport 150-180 people. The places are quite comfortable. There is business and economy class. They differ in the comfort of the seats and the distances between them.
Adviсe:
- The worst places are near the toilet. This is 21 rows of economy class.
- The best seats in economy class are those in the 8th row. These places are located near the wall. Here you can hang a cradle or car seat.
- Seats with comments are located in row 20 near the aisle.
- All business class seats are quite comfortable and without any comments.
- The 7th row seats are not entirely successful.
This is a huge plane that consists of several decks. There are three classes in total on the plane: first, business and economy. First class seats are considered the most comfortable. They resemble a separate compartment and are equipped with doors and partitions. In addition, there are separate screens and the Internet.
Adviсe:
- In first class, all seats are quite good, but passengers note that there is always lighting near the kitchen and toilet, which makes it difficult to sleep.
- In business class, all seats are quite good. There is a lot of space near the wall in front. At the same time, no one reclines the seats.
- Row 43 - increased leg space thanks to the wall.
- Row 45 - increased distance for legs and knees.
- Rows 65, 66, 78, 79 - the seats in these rows have limited back recline. Also, proximity to toilets is always restless.
- Rows 67 and 80 - additional free space for knees and legs.
- 68, 81, A and K - due to the missing chair, very comfortable seats.
- Row 82 - increased free space for knees and legs.
- 87 row C and H - they will pass you by to the toilets. They may hit you with an elbow or step on your foot.

This domestic aircraft is not inferior to Boeing and Airbus. Designed for 210 people. The plane is quite comfortable.
Adviсe:
- The Tu-214 (Tu-204-200) aircraft has a two-class layout. Most of the seats in the cabin are in economy class (174).
- Business class space can accommodate up to 8 people. It is believed that the most comfortable seats, which belong to the first placement option, are those located in the 10th and 16th rows (seats A, B, C, F).
- Seats A and F, located in row 32, can also be considered cozy.

It is best to reserve the necessary seats in advance. First of all, this applies to passengers with children. For them, the ideal option would be a location near the wall. There you can mark and secure the cradle and car seat.
Initially, you can make a reservation of the desired place, but in some cases they require a separate fee. If you are with a child, then at the airport when checking in for your flight you are unlikely to be denied the necessary seats. Often, aircraft employees themselves offer to change seats, and are interested in the most convenient arrangement for passengers with children.
This is a complex issue and directly depends on the airline and the flight attendant. Many companies do their best to accommodate their loyal customers. There is also the possibility of pre-booking a place, for which a fee will be charged. If all passengers are seated and there are a few empty seats, ask the flight attendant politely to change seats.
Disputes often arise regarding seats near emergency exits; there is a large legroom there and, accordingly, it is more convenient to fly. Centering is of great importance. It is for this reason that flight attendants may ask you to move to a certain seat. This is necessary to balance the aircraft. This is especially true for small regional aircraft.
As you can see, there are a lot of difficulties associated with flying. Therefore, if you want to fly in comfort, book a comfortable seat in advance.
VIDEO: Seats on the plane
Many people believe that the safest area on an airplane in the event of an accident is the rear of the plane. And not without reason. If a plane hits something with its nose, people in the front are more likely to be injured compared to those in the rear. But in some accidents, however, this is not the case at all. In fact, until the accident itself, you cannot be absolutely sure that a particular area on an airplane is the safest, since the safest area on one airplane is not the safest on another. In addition, the safest zone for one type of accident may not be the safest zone for another type of accident. However, there are some general guidelines (listed below) that can increase your safety margin if you are involved in an accident.
In researching the problem of which zone is safer to sit, I delved into the circumstances of over 90 accidents for which I had data. Most accidents involved aircraft carrying large numbers of passengers, although some accidents involved small local airline aircraft. When reviewing reports of these accidents, close attention was paid to those in which passenger injuries appeared to be related to the location of the seats involved. I selected accidents in which no more than one passenger was seriously injured or killed, and accidents with more severe consequences in which only a small number of passengers survived. I also selected only those accidents in which injuries or deaths occurred on board the aircraft. In some accidents, injuries and deaths occurred during or after the evacuation of victims from the aircraft and were not related to the location of the victim's seat. Therefore, these accidents were not taken into account.
From my analysis, I have concluded that, based on reports of 21 accidents that occurred between 1965 and 1982, some areas of an airplane can be identified as safer than others. 14 of the accidents examined occurred during approach and landing, 4 occurred during takeoff, and 3 occurred when the aircraft landed on water (Table 5.1).
In two-thirds of these accidents, the tail of the aircraft was safer than the nose.
A more typical accident occurred on the evening of December 28, 1978, when a DC-8 crashed into a heavily wooded area in suburban Portland, Oregon. This happened when the plane was approaching
Table 5.1. Airplane area where it is safe to sit
to land at the airport, but didn't make it to the runway yet. The landing of the plane was delayed for 15-20 minutes due to the fact that the flight crew was trying to identify a malfunction of the landing gear. During this period of time, flight attendants prepared passengers for an emergency landing.
The flight crew was so busy troubleshooting the landing gear that they neglected to estimate the amount of fuel remaining in the tanks that might be needed to land at the airport. There were approximately 30-32 km left to the airport when one of the four engines of the huge aircraft stalled due to lack of fuel. The pilots tried to make it to the airport, but the plane crashed about 10 km short of the airfield. Of the 181 passengers and 8 crew members on board the plane, 2 crew members and 8 passengers died. In addition, 21 passengers and 2 crew members were seriously injured. How can one explain the relatively small number of deaths compared to the number of survivors? The first reason is that passengers and crew had adequate time to prepare for an emergency landing. They were in a fixed emergency position when the plane landed. And it undoubtedly saved many lives.
The second reason was that the plane encountered numerous obstacles during its descent, which slowed it down without causing destruction. Before sliding over thick high-voltage wires, the plane hit two uninhabited houses and several trees. These wires caught on the vertical stabilizer, on the part of the tail that rises above the rest of the aircraft, resulting in almost the same braking effect that occurs when the arresting cables of an aircraft carrier's arresting rig are thrown over fighter jets landing on the ship. It should be added that the accident was not accompanied by a fire, probably due to the fact that the fuel in the tanks was running low, if there was any left at all.
However, the nose of the aircraft was heavily damaged. The structure of the nose of the aircraft up to the fifth row of seats was destroyed. All those who died, along with those who were seriously injured, were sitting in this area. Some passengers, who received less serious injuries, were seated in a more forward part of the cabin in the vicinity of the trailing edge of the wing. Both of these areas, covering the nose of the aircraft and the vicinity of the wing, were cut through by tree trunks and limbs, resulting in injury and death to passengers and flight crew.
One of the passengers, Kim Campbell, a young man aged 27, was sitting in the rear of the plane. He played a major role in assisting other accident victims during the evacuation. He was sitting next to the exit and thus could have been the first to leave the crashed plane. But he remained on the plane and helped lower passengers to the ground, and the door threshold was at a height of about 2.5 m from the ground. This had to be done because the trees under the plane made it difficult to use the inflatable rescue ladder. According to a prison guard who sat next to him before the crash, Campbell believed there might be an explosion, yet he remained on the plane until all passengers were evacuated. When he got off the plane, he somehow managed to convince the prison officer that he needed to get back on board to make sure there were no other passengers on board. He then disappeared into the crowd before he could be thanked, much to the chagrin of the prison officer who escorted him back to the prison from which he had escaped.
However, the back of an airplane is not always the safest area in which to land. The DC-9-31 was attempting to land in rainy weather at Philadelphia International Airport on June 21, 1976, when it encountered a wind change with unpredictable changes in wind direction just before landing. As the plane approached the runway, the pilot received a message from air traffic control about a change in wind. Therefore, the pilot decided to go for a repeat approach. He retracted the landing gear, increased engine thrust, and flew with the nose up. But the wind was so strong that the plane was unable to gain altitude. In fact, according to the pilot of another plane sitting on the taxiway, a DC-9 aircraft took off from the clouds at an altitude of about 30 m above the runway. Suddenly he collapsed to the ground, still in a position with his nose slightly raised. In this position, he “plowed” another 600 m. None of the 107 people on board died, although 36 people. were seriously injured.
The majority of passengers (81%) in the forward section of the aircraft suffered minor or no injuries. While among the passengers sitting in the rear section, only 54% of passengers received minor injuries or were not injured at all. Apparently, the people in the rear of the plane, which took the first impact with the ground, experienced greater impact loads compared to those in the nose of the plane.
Another accident that may shed some light on the issue of the safest area on an airplane occurred on November 11, 1965, when a B-727 made a rough landing in Salt Lake City. And even despite the fact that the shock loads were moderate, out of 85 passengers only 44 survived. The matter was complicated by the fact that when the plane landed, a fire broke out in the cabin, and in just 30-50 seconds, it took the plane to stop, the cabin covered in smoke. There was no practical exit in the tail section, and passengers were forced to use the emergency exits on the wing and the two front doors. Even so, 30 (60%) of the 50 passengers in the rear of the plane survived, compared with 14 (40%) of the 35 passengers in the front of the plane.
In this particular accident, there was a fire and resulting smoke, which reduced the amount of time passengers could spend in the cabin. An analysis of this accident showed that 9 of the 44 passengers evacuated from the plane did not receive any injuries. These people were sitting right at the exits and were the first to get off the plane. After an accident, the first person to leave the plane had a better chance of surviving than those who left later. The people sitting closest to the exits are usually the first to use them.
In another accident, only those passengers who were sitting in the middle of the plane survived. We are talking about an accident that occurred with a B-707 plane that crashed while landing in Pago Pago on January 30, 1974. All 101 people. those on board the plane survived the impact, but only four emerged alive from the fire that broke out after the impact. These passengers were sitting in the middle of the plane. All of them later stated that before the unexpected accident occurred, they read the passenger safety notice and listened to the corresponding brief instructions from the flight attendant. When the plane landed short of the runway that night, most of the passengers went to the opposite end of the plane, where the doors were. But for some reason these doors never opened. The fire and smoke must have spread rapidly, and the 97 passengers who had just survived the impact were unable to get out.
And these four who survived (instead of running to the doors) took advantage of the emergency exits to the wing, which were nearby. The National Transportation Safety Board speculated that if more passengers had used the wing emergency exits, they might have been saved. Many passengers sitting in the middle of the plane may not have realized that they were very close to the emergency exits to the wing. They probably simply followed the example of the others, or perhaps their only thought was to get to the door through which they entered the plane.
This accident, however, cannot essentially indicate which area of the aircraft is safest, since all passengers survived the impact. Those in the middle of the plane survived not because the middle was necessarily the safest area on the plane, but because they were next to the wing emergency exit and they knew it was next to them.
If a plane lands on water, I find it difficult to indicate, based on available accident reports, which area of the plane is the safest. Among the accident reports, I found only three about water landings, which can somehow link the location of the victims with the likelihood of injury and death. When a DC-8 unexpectedly crashed on approach to Los Angeles International Airport, part of the plane behind the wings broke off and sank, causing “many people to drown.” But when the DC-9 splashed down in the ocean, it did not break into pieces. The entire aircraft remained afloat for some time. In this accident, the greatest loss of life occurred in the nose of the aircraft.
A B-737 struck a bridge on January 13, 1982, and landed on the ice-covered Potomac River. The report of this accident shows that the plane was landing with its nose up at an angle of 15° to the horizon when its tail hit cars driving on the bridge. This first impact caused the plane to crash nose down. As a result, the bow struck the river's ice sheet with a force three times greater than that of the tail. Only a few people were saved, and they were sitting in the rear section. But since the others died earlier from impact (except one passenger, who drowned), and not from any other factor associated with landing on water, any conclusions drawn from this accident regarding the safest location for landing on water would be unfounded.
It seems clear that passengers who sat in those parts of the plane that remained afloat the longest had the greatest chance of survival. Probably the strongest and most buoyant part of the aircraft is the one located directly above the wings. The wings act like pontoons. They can contribute to the buoyancy of an aircraft for a significant period of time. If the tail were to fall off and sink, as happened with the DC-8, then the part of the plane that was afloat would tend to take on water, and the nose of the plane would sink. In general, it seems that when landing on water, the safest part of the aircraft is the wing area of the aircraft.
Where to sit if the plane does not fall apart when landing on water depends on the buoyancy qualities of the aircraft. Aircraft designers usually calculate the buoyancy qualities of an aircraft. It is assumed that no major damage to the aircraft structure occurs when landing on water (which is not always the case in reality). You can then determine how long the plane will float, which exits will be underwater, and what angular position the plane will be in when it goes down. Based on this data, you can estimate in advance which exits will most likely be used. You won't be tempted to open the exit if the door threshold is under water. After all, this will lead to an increase in the speed of the aircraft's descent into water.
In general, on aircraft with all engines located on the tail (eg DC-9, B-727), the tail section is quite heavy, and therefore the exits in the tail section of the aircraft should not open. Another thing is for aircraft in which all engines are located on the wings (DC-8, B-707, B-737, B-747), and those aircraft in which one engine is located on the tail and the other two on the wings (L-1011, DC-10). They will remain in a relatively horizontal position, so all outlets must be used. However, there are exceptions to these rules, since different models of aircraft of a given type may differ from each other in their buoyancy. Some models of the B-737 can remain afloat at wing level, while others will float tail down. Many airlines provide a picture of the aircraft's position afloat in flight safety instructions to passengers.
According to some sources, the safest area of an aircraft in the event of atmospheric turbulence is the nose of the aircraft, and the least safe area is the tail. . It must be kept in mind, however, that most injuries that occur when exposed to turbulence are minor, and passenger deaths due to exposure to turbulence are very rare.
Therefore, since most serious but salvageable accidents occur during takeoff and landing, and since most passenger injuries and deaths occur during these accidents, you can increase your safety threshold by boarding one the part of an aircraft that is located under the wings or at the tail of the aircraft. In addition, a seat located closer to the exit, no matter what area of the aircraft it is located in, is safer than those located further from the exit. If your flight is over water, and if your plane has all its engines in the tail, then when landing on water, your chances of survival increase if you sit in the upper part of the plane.

Professional pilots and flight crews are trained in much the same way as special agents. They are able to notice small details, malfunctions and inconsistencies, even if they are in a regular passenger seat.
And it's not that the reasons for the delays are too difficult for passengers to understand. It's always something that everyone can understand. If you want detailed clarification, all you have to do is politely ask a flight attendant or airport employee.
5. Where are the exits?
For frequent air tourists, instructions on the location of fire exits seem like a formality that is no longer worth paying special attention to.
But retired pilot John Chesire always pays attention to where the emergency exits are and how quickly he can get to them. “I always estimate how many steps there are between my place and the emergency exit. This is so that if there is smoke, in pitch darkness or even upside down, I can get to the exit, open the door and get out of the plane,” says John.
6. In-flight announcements
Professional pilots always listen to announcements, even when they are not at work. For example, the announcement “We ask the senior flight attendant to come to the cockpit” is almost always a sign that some kind of problem has arisen.
However, there may also be cases when the pilot simply wanted a cup of green tea or cappuccino.
Traveling by plane is always very tiring for a person, and often it can even be harmful to his health. However, there is always the opportunity to take care of additional benefits for yourself. One of these may be the right choice of where to sit in the cabin. To do this, it is important to know the location of the seats on the plane.
It is important to understand that there is no seat that would suit every passenger. Everyone focuses on their own needs. Some people like to sit by the window, some like to sit in the aisle, while others want the opportunity to stretch their long legs forward.
Seat classes
The aircraft cabin is most often divided into three zones for passengers:
Inexpensive economy class seats with a minimum of services.
Comfortable business class seats with additional services that make the flight as comfortable as possible.
Luxury first class seats where you can even fly lying down, although not all airlines have them.
The majority of people prefer economy class so as not to spend extra money.
Choosing a seat on the plane
As mentioned above, the best seat for each passenger is selected individually. You can determine this for yourself by carefully reading this article. To better understand what we are talking about, below is a diagram of the aircraft interior.
Unsuccessful options
Let's start by identifying inconvenient places during the flight. Seats in the middle of a row, with people sitting to your right and left, are uncomfortable for most. Another bad seat is the seat at the back of the plane; the last row may not have a window. There are also constant crowds of passengers waiting in line to use the toilet. A significant disadvantage for you may be the fact that at the time of distribution of food and drinks - the variety of products runs out in the rows at the back, you will not be able to choose meat, chicken or fish, you will simply be given the type of product that is left.
The bad places include the places directly above the wing, since from there you won’t see anything. Not everyone will be comfortable with the seats in the rows located in front of the emergency exit and in the last row, since they do not have the ability to recline the seat.
The most comfortable seats on an airliner
Let's go back to the tail of the plane. An important advantage is that if the aircraft is not fully loaded, you will not have neighbors, and you will fly alone in two or three seats (this will even allow you to lie down). Comfortable places include the porthole seats - you can sleep quite comfortably on them without fear of being woken up by a neighbor squeezing through your knees. You can admire the beautiful views from the window and read in excellent lighting. The advantages of aisle seats include the fact that you can stretch your legs into the aisle and get up to go to the toilet without any problems, and also be among the first at the exit. By the way, places near emergency and regular exits have increased legroom.
The best seats in terms of comfort and convenience are considered to be those in the first row. You can calmly stretch your legs, since there will only be a wall in front of you. This is very important for tall people (from 180 centimeters). There is also less shaking in the front when the plane hits the ground. An attractive bonus will be the right to be the first to receive food and drinks. A significant drawback for some will be the fact that there will probably be passengers with infants and children under 7 years old nearby.
Location of seats on the plane
Now that you have decided what to look for when choosing a seat for yourself, you need to be sure to find out the seat letter and row number that will suit you.
Airliners come in different sizes, which means the number of seats per row may vary. Either way, there will be aisle and window seats on every plane. You can obtain information about the layout of the aircraft you are interested in at the representative office of the carrier's airline. Quite often, diagrams are published on websites on the Internet. It is important to consider that vessels of the same model do not always have the same layout. This means that the location of seats on a Transaero and Aeroflot plane will not always be the same for the same type of aircraft.
Choosing a seat depending on the size of the vehicle
When you have an airplane that you are going to fly, you can accurately understand whether the seat is located at the partition or next to the window, whether the wings will block the view.
Let's give a few examples. Let's consider the arrangement of seats on a Boeing 737 and similar aircraft, where the seats in economy class are installed in 2 rows of 3 seats each. With this arrangement, the seats in the first row will be comfortable, as well as in the rows near the emergency exits - there is always enough space to stretch your legs.
The cabin is designed for long-haul flights and has several economy class cabins with 3 rows of seats arranged in a 3-4-3 configuration. And on this ship, good seats will still be in the front row and at the main or emergency exits, but it is worth noting that there are toilets located both in the front and in the rear.
How to take a chair you like
Airlines allocate seats on planes in different ways. First of all, try to find out if you can select a seat at the time of booking. This service is often provided by the airline for an additional fee. The second way to get a good seat is to ask to see the location of the seats on the plane and choose the right one if it is free.
Be sure to consider the direction of flight, as the bright rays of the sun can shine directly in your face. Decide which direction you are heading. When flying from east to west, the sun's rays will always fall on the left side, and from west to east - on the right side. When moving from north to south in the morning, the sun's rays will fall on the left, and in the evening - on the right. When flying from south to north in the morning - on the right, in the evening - on the left. And don't forget that in the Southern Hemisphere the opposite is true.
It is important to arrive at registration as early as possible after it opens. The best places go to those who arrive first.
The most popular and fullest flights are morning and evening. If you do not have any kind of time connection, then it is better to fly during the daytime, since it is during these hours that the flow of passengers is the smallest, and the seats nearby will be empty.
In recent years, airlines have been trying to simplify their system, introducing various new features in order to speed up the check-in process for flights several times. These include terminals for self-check-in at airports and the ability to check in for a flight online on the airline’s website. You should not lose sight of these technologies, since the layouts of airliner cabins, the location of seats on the plane, and already occupied seats are clearly visible on the computer screen. Using such services will save you from grueling queues and early arrival at the airport.
Thus, if you fly often, you will very soon figure out which places are better than others. Unfortunately, not all airlines have the ability to select seats in advance, so be prepared to fly in any available seat.

Experienced travelers know how important it is to choose a good seat on a long-distance flight and how much inconvenience a “bad” row can cause.
Agree, for those who fly frequently, this factor is fundamental, because sitting, for example, in the middle row, sandwiched on both sides by “moderately well-fed” fellow travelers, is not very pleasant.
If you know the airline and the exact model of the aircraft you are going to fly on, look up information on the Internet with seat layouts on the planes of the main carriers. For example, on the website aircraft.org
In the picture below, the following places are indicated in different colors:
Dark green- places with the best view from the window
Green- places with the most legroom
Light green- the quietest places in the cabin
Yellow- are served first when serving food and drinks
Blue- the coldest places
Pink- are served last when serving food and drinks
Red- access to the toilet is most difficult
Burgundy- places with the worst view from the window
Burgundy brown- limited seat reclining capabilities
Brown- places with the least legroom
Dark brown- the noisiest places
Airplane seat classes
So, if you start like this, roughly dividing all the seats on the plane, then initially they can be divided into economy class, business class and first class seats.
Economy class seats- this is the cheapest class of seats on the plane, which is mainly used by travelers (although, why not, the President of Lithuania also flies in economy class and nothing :o). This is the base rate.
Business class seats- these are places fenced off by curtains from economy class. There is a little more legroom, plus there are fewer seats (2 chairs per row). In addition, the ticket price includes a la carte meals and free alcoholic drinks.
For that matter, meals can be purchased separately in economy class, the difference will be only 10 - 20 bucks.
First class seats— an alternative to business class on intercontinental flights. Prices are 10 times higher than business class. For this, you will be able to check in on board faster, get a high class of service and luxurious seats (for example, on some planes the seat converts into a sofa, that is, full-fledged lie-flat seats!
Therefore, most likely, for a budget tourist, the choice is economy class.
Place near the porthole
Pros:
If you plan to sleep, or, say, read, for which you will need good lighting, then a chair by the window is the best option.
Firstly, no one will “squeeze” through your seat to theirs and will not disturb you, and secondly, the wonderful view of the clouds and their bizarre shapes will not let you get bored in case of a short flight.
True, it depends on the time of flight; at night, alas, you will not be able to see much.
Minuses:
Aisle seat
Pros:
Minuses:
But still, you will have to let one neighbor through if he wants to go out. And ask another neighbor to stand up if you want to go out.
Well, of course, you won’t be lucky if your neighbors turn out to be fat people.
Places located after emergency exits
Pros:
They are characterized by the fact that the distance to the next row is slightly increased, which allows you to pass the flight time with greater comfort - stretch your legs, stand up if necessary, without disturbing your neighbors. Some types of aircraft do not have a row of seats in front of the emergency exit/hatch seats at all.
Minuses:
Often, airlines, for safety reasons, practice leaving these seats for people who meet the requirements of “a sound body - a sound mind” - it is assumed that in the event of an emergency evacuation such a person will not be confused, will be able to open the emergency hatch and help the staff get people out, but, Of course, not all airlines undertake such “planning”.
Another disadvantage is that the approach to the hatches cannot be blocked by hand luggage.
Places located in front of emergency hatches
Here, usually, there are only disadvantages - most often the backs of the seats in these rows are fixed or have a very small angle of deviation. This is done so as not to block the approaches to the escape hatches. Seats located in the front of the cabin
In addition, the first row is an excellent opportunity to be one of the first to go down the ramp.
Minuses:But there are also disadvantages here - often mounts for baby cradles are installed in the bow, and there may be passengers with small children. This does not contribute to comfort if you are going to work or relax.
Anyone who has flown near a child who does not tolerate the flight well and cries for 7 or 12 hours knows.
Places in the tail
The only significant advantage of this place is its relative safety. According to statistics from the US National Transportation Safety Board for more than 30 years, the number of surviving passengers in plane crashes, depending on where their seats were located in the aircraft cabin, is as follows:
The highest percentage of passengers who survived was in the rear section of the cabin (behind the edge of the aircraft's wing) with 69%, the section above the wing with 56% survivors, as well as in the economy class section in front of the wing. In the forward section of the cabin, where business and first class are typically seated, the average survival rate was 49%.
The United States also conducted a test crash of an old plane. The experiment cost one and a half million dollars. The plane crashed into the ground at a speed of 225 km/h. Which corresponds not to a full-fledged crash, in which, as a rule, no one has a chance to survive, but to a hard landing.
During the experiment, it was found that when an airplane collides with a surface, the nose takes the main impact. So business class passengers, whose seats are located immediately behind the cockpit, and, accordingly, pilots, are at greater risk. But economy class passengers sitting in the last rows may well survive an emergency landing.
The largest number of accidents often occurs during takeoff/landing, as a result of mistakes by pilots or airport staff, due to poor coverage and condition of the runway or other factors. In this case, you can be saved. Think about where the plane will hit first when landing or taking off? It seems to me that most likely the nose, accordingly, the main impact will be on the front seats, which will slightly dampen the force of the impact, then the impact will be on the middle of the cabin and on the wings, from which fuel will leak out and ignite. The shock wave will reach the rear seats with the least power, which will allow passengers to survive.
From the point of view of the safe side - left or right, statistics give equal chances; the probability of the plane lateral roll in one direction or another during landing is the same.
This is what they mostly write on the Internet. Honestly, it’s difficult for me to judge, but in my opinion, if you are primarily concerned about your safety, then it is better to choose a seat a couple of rows from the emergency exit. This, in most cases, is still safer, although less convenient.
For the same reason, people whose seats are located closer to the aisle are in a more advantageous situation during emergency situations
This is about safety, but when it comes to comfort...
It is believed that The most comfortable seat on the plane is the second to last row, on the right side of the aisle. The fact is that it is at the end of the cabin that there is the greatest likelihood of free/empty seats, and therefore it is quite possible that you will get a lot of free space by sitting on three seats at once: you can get free seats to the right and left of you, on which you can arrange not only your bags, but generally lie down and sleep
Why do you need to take seats on the right? Because air tickets are sold strictly by row (except in cases where the passenger himself requests a specific seat), rows A, B, C come first, which are located on the left side, so the likelihood of a large number of people there is higher.
An important advantage is safety, because it is no secret to anyone that there is simply no more secure place than the tail of the aircraft. There may also be a kitchen located close to these places (not always), and all your orders will be delivered as quickly as possible.
Why is it necessary to choose an aisle seat? In order for fewer people to show a desire to sit next to you. If you sit near the window, then nothing will prevent other passengers from sitting near you, and then all the comfort will come to naught.
But when you sit down by the aisle and place your bags on the next seat, such a sight will subconsciously be perceived by other passengers as a barrier, so the number of people wanting to sit next door will be minimal.
An even better option would be to get a pillow and a blanket immediately after landing, and lie down to sleep on two or three chairs at once, in which case it is unlikely that anyone will disturb you so that you move away and let him sit in the same row.
First row/row in front of which there are no seats
Of the minuses, we note that most likely there will be a partition or a kitchen/toilet in front of you. Some passengers find it not very convenient to look at the “wall” for the entire flight. Also, there may be mounts for baby cradles in the wall. What this entails - read above.
Last row/row behind which there are no seats
Summarize
Here, in brief, is a list of good/bad places that a traveler can expect. But it is worth noting that the internal layout of aircraft differs significantly from each other, and this factor must also be taken into account.
In addition to the fact that there are 2, 3, 4 seats in a row, it is necessary to take into account the distance between the seats, the number of classes in the cabin, and other features. After all, the same company uses different types of aircraft for flights.
Adviсe. How to get the best seats
1. The model of the airliner, the smallest details of the comfort of the cabins (the presence of a TV, electrical sockets, spacing between rows, location of toilets) can be easily found on the airline’s website.
If you have no idea about the location of the seats, ask to see a diagram of the aircraft’s interior - all free seats will be highlighted in the appropriate color.
3. At modern airports you can use the services of self-check-in kiosks and choose your seat. Also, this can almost always be done when registering online on the website of the airline of your choice - this will significantly save time.
The traditional check-in method is best done two hours before departure. If seats are booked this way, the first registrants have a wide choice of available seats.
4. If possible, you should use less crowded flights - in this case, the comfort of the flight will increase significantly, because (if you wish) you will even have the opportunity to sleep in three free seats; the main thing is not to forget to ask the flight attendant to bring a pillow and a blanket.
The busiest days are Sunday and Friday, with morning and evening flights. If you have time, choose Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday, midday or afternoon flights.
5. In order not to get into trouble, you should take into account the spelling of the letters indicating the seat number - they can be either Russian (1A, 1B, 1B, 1G,1D, 1E) or Latin (1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E , 1F), and in certain situations, these are, as they say, two big differences that can overshadow the impression of the flight.
After all, for example, seat 1 “B” will have a different location, meaning both a chair near the aisle and in the middle of the row. This must be taken into account so as not to end up with seat 1B (which you thought was near the aisle) in a seat in the middle (since it turned out that this is not the Russian “B”, but the Latin “B”).
Therefore, it is better to choose seats with unambiguous letters: 1A is always a seat by the window, 1C - in any cabin layout will be a seat by the aisle.
Advice. If you fly often, then you know the main stress of everyone (who does not fly in business class;) is sitting in the middle seat in a row of three seats. Knowing and understanding this phobia, you can turn it to your advantage and less often have a neighbor nearby when flying.
6. You should definitely take into account the direction of flight - with the right choice of place, the sun will not blind your eyes: East - West (the sun always shines on the left), West - East (on the right).
If there is a need to take a morning flight, the direction North - South will be pleased with the sun on the left side, and South - North - on the right.
How to avoid accidentally taking the worst seats
- Study the diagram of the airliner you will be flying on, if possible.
- Check with your airline representative if possible.
- Before the flight, decide what is more important for you - looking out the window or the ability to freely get up from your seat, for example, to the toilet
- Studying the interior layout, choose the optimal seats, guided by the same rules that we gave in this article
- Do not take seats at the very rear, close to the toilets, galley and other technical areas.
- Do not take seats in which the seats do not recline or are limited in this.
- Do not take seats between emergency exits or behind which they are located.
If you still find yourself in an uncomfortable chair
Moreover, it is better not to be embarrassed and change seats yourself, rather than wait for the services of a flight attendant.
There is little time, because after the plane reaches the required speed, getting up from the passenger seat will be strictly prohibited. Well, after gaining altitude, it is likely that everything is most comfortable seats on the plane will be occupied by faster and smarter passengers. Yes, and don't worry about it. You will always have time to sit in your rightful (according to your ticket) seat.
But it’s still better to choose the most comfortable seat immediately when purchasing a ticket and checking in for the flight.
All the tips described above are suitable for standard passenger, narrow-body aircraft, such as Airbus A-319 and 320, Boeing-737, SSJ-100, Yak-40, etc., and for wide-body airliners. In addition, there are many more options to occupy a comfortable passenger seat.

Thank you, very useful information Saturday, January 23, 2016 06:39 ()
Original message by IrzeisExperienced travelers know how important it is to choose a good seat on a long-distance flight and how much inconvenience a “bad” row can cause.
Today we will talk about the best conditions for flying by plane.
Agree, for those who fly frequently, this factor is fundamental, because sitting, for example, in the middle row, sandwiched on both sides by “moderately well-fed” fellow travelers, is not very pleasant.
Or “get” to the back row, where there may be no porthole and the seats do not recline, and the proximity to the toilet (constant movement and other disadvantages) is not conducive to comfort.
So, in order to have a great time “at altitude”, you need to know where the best seats on the plane are located.
If you know the airline and the exact model of the aircraft you are going to fly on, look up information on the Internet with seat layouts on the planes of the main carriers. For example, on the website aircraft.org
In the picture below, the following places are indicated in different colors:
Dark green – places with the best view from the window
Green – seats with the most legroom
Light green – the quietest places in the cabin
Yellow – first served when serving food and drinks
Blue – coldest places
Pink – last to be served when serving food and drinks
Red – access to the toilet is most difficult
Burgundy - places with the worst view from the window
Burgundy Brown - Limited seat recline capabilities
Brown – seats with the least legroom
Dark brown – the noisiest placesIf your plane has not been found or you do not have such information, this article provides general advice for you. In any case, it won’t hurt to read, that’s for sure :o).
Airplane seat classes
So, if you start like this, roughly dividing all the seats on the plane, then initially they can be divided into economy class, business class and first class seats.
Economy class seats are the cheapest class of seats on the plane, which is mainly used by travelers (although, why not, the President of Lithuania also flies in economy class and nothing :o). This is the base rate.
As a rule, these are three rows of seats (two rows for narrow-body aircraft) with three seats in each row.
Legroom is minimal. The comfort is about the same as in a minibus: nothing superfluous, you are simply taken from point A to point B.Business class seats are seats separated by curtains from economy class. There is a little more legroom, plus there are fewer seats (2 chairs per row). In addition, the ticket price includes a la carte meals and free alcoholic drinks.
However, at the same time, prices are about 5 times higher than economy class, and you won’t notice much of a difference, especially on flights of a couple of hours.
For that matter, meals can be purchased separately in economy class, the difference will be only 10 - 20 bucks.First class seats are an alternative to business class on intercontinental flights. Prices are 10 times higher than business class. For this, you will be able to check in on board faster, get a high class of service and luxurious seats (for example, on some planes the seat converts into a sofa, that is, full-fledged lie-flat seats!
Is it worth it? Here everyone thinks for themselves, but this is clearly not the topic for our review, we are discussing here how to travel as cheaply and comfortably as possible :)
Therefore, most likely, for a budget tourist, the choice is economy class.Place near the porthole
Pros:
If you plan to sleep, or, say, read, for which you will need good lighting, then a chair by the window is the best option.Firstly, no one will “squeeze” through your seat to theirs and will not disturb you, and secondly, the wonderful view of the clouds and their bizarre shapes will not let you get bored in case of a short flight.
True, it depends on the time of flight; at night, alas, you will not be able to see much.
Minuses:
It is more difficult to get up from such a place, for example, to go to the toilet. You'll have to disturb your neighbors.Aisle seat
Pros:
It is extremely convenient because you can stretch your legs into the aisle, get up, go to the toilet without hindrance, and also get to the exit a little earlier after landing the plane.Minuses:
People and flight attendants with carts will pass near you. They may hurt sometimes. Also, you will have to get up every time your neighbors want to get up from their chairs. These are more turbulent places.Places “in the middle” - neutral places
These are "neutral" places. They combine the pros and cons of window seats and aisle seats. It’s calmer here than in the aisle and easier to get up than from the chair by the window.
But still, you will have to let one neighbor through if he wants to go out. And ask another neighbor to stand up if you want to go out.
Well, of course, you won’t be lucky if your neighbors turn out to be fat people.
Places located after emergency exits
Pros:
Characterized by the fact that the distance to the next row is slightly increased, which allows you to while away the flight time with greater comfort - stretch your legs, stand up if necessary, without disturbing your neighbors. Some types of aircraft do not have a row of seats in front of the emergency exit/hatch seats at all.Minuses:
Often, airlines, for safety reasons, practice leaving these seats for people who meet the requirements of “a sound body, a sound mind” - it is assumed that in the event of an emergency evacuation such a person will not be confused, will be able to open the emergency hatch and help the staff get people out, but, Of course, not all airlines undertake such “planning”.
In this regard, passengers with children, animals and elderly people are not allowed here.Another disadvantage is that the approach to the hatches cannot be blocked by hand luggage.
Places located in front of emergency hatches
Here, usually, there are only disadvantages - most often the backs of the seats in these rows are fixed or have a very small angle of deviation. This is done so as not to block the approaches to the escape hatches.
The row that is located in the section between two emergency exits also has a plus. In this case, there will be additional space in front of you.
Seats located in the front of the cabin
Pros:
Most often, food service begins from the “nose”, so the front rows offer convenience and a wide choice of drinks and food offered. As a rule, if the seat is located at the rear of the plane, then the passenger is limited in the choice of assortment (everything is sorted at the very beginning).In addition, the first row is an excellent opportunity to be one of the first to go down the ramp.
Minuses:
But there are also disadvantages here - often mounts for baby bassinets are installed in the bow, and there may be passengers with small children. This does not contribute to comfort if you are going to work or relax.Anyone who has flown near a child who does not tolerate the flight well and cries for 7 or 12 hours knows.
Places in the tail
The only significant advantage of this place is its relative safety. According to statistics from the US National Transportation Safety Board for more than 30 years, the number of surviving passengers in plane crashes, depending on where their seats were located in the aircraft cabin, is as follows:

In the forward section of the cabin, where business and first class are typically seated, the average survival rate was 49%.

During the experiment, it was found that when an airplane collides with a surface, the nose takes the main impact. So business class passengers, whose seats are located immediately behind the cockpit, and, accordingly, pilots, are at greater risk. But economy class passengers sitting in the last rows may well survive an emergency landing.
This was the reason for placing the “black box” in the tail of the plane, and this also led to the opinion that this is the safest place.The largest number of accidents often occurs during takeoff/landing, as a result of mistakes by pilots or airport staff, due to poor coverage and condition of the runway or other factors. In this case, you can be saved. Think about where the plane will hit first when landing or taking off? It seems to me that most likely the nose, accordingly, the main impact will be on the front seats, which will slightly dampen the force of the impact, then the impact will be on the middle of the cabin and on the wings, from which fuel will leak out and ignite. The shock wave will reach the rear seats with the least power, which will allow passengers to survive.
Thus, the rear seats are the safest in the cabin, since the plane takes the main impact on the nose, but again, this all depends on the situation.
Central seats on an airplane are typically located above or close to the wing, which contains aviation fuel, which can ignite in the event of a plane crash. Therefore, the most dangerous places are the seats in the middle of the aircraft cabin. If we compare the front and middle seats in terms of safety, then the number of deaths in both the front and middle seats is approximately equal.From the point of view of the safe side - left or right, statistics give equal chances; the probability of the plane lateral roll in one direction or another during landing is the same.
This is what they mostly write on the Internet. Honestly, it’s difficult for me to judge, but in my opinion, if you are primarily concerned about your safety, then it is better to choose a seat a couple of rows from the emergency exit. This, in most cases, is still safer, although less convenient.
Imagine a situation where there was a plane crash, the plane was partially damaged, everyone was alive, but a fire started in the plane and the cabin was filled with black toxic smoke, from inhaling which you could die. What will happen? That's right, most likely panic, but now think about who will be the first to leave the plane? And the first to leave will be the one who sits in the seats closest to the emergency exits, which means they will have a greater chance of escape.For the same reason, people whose seats are located closer to the aisle are in a more advantageous situation during emergency situations
You can find out what seat will be near the emergency exit on a particular plane from the seat layout diagrams.This is about safety, but when it comes to comfort...
It is believed that the most comfortable seat on an airplane is the second to last row, on the right side of the aisle. The fact is that it is at the end of the cabin that there is the greatest likelihood of free/empty seats, and therefore it is quite possible that you will get a lot of free space by sitting on three seats at once: you can get free seats to the right and left of you, on which you can arrange not only your bags, but generally lie down and sleep
Why do you need to take seats on the right? Because air tickets are sold strictly by row (except in cases where the passenger himself requests a specific seat), rows A, B, C come first, which are located on the left side, so the likelihood of a large number of people there is higher.
After them come the right rows, D, E, F, which are usually empty when the plane is not fully loaded (this is important!!!). Well, it is clear that if the download is complete, then all the above recommendations will be meaningless.
An important advantage is safety, because it is no secret to anyone that there is simply no more secure place than the tail of the aircraft. There may also be a kitchen located close to these places (not always), and all your orders will be delivered as quickly as possible.
Why is it necessary to choose an aisle seat? In order for fewer people to show a desire to sit next to you. If you sit near the window, then nothing will prevent other passengers from sitting near you, and then all the comfort will come to naught.
But when you sit down by the aisle and place your bags on the next seat, such a sight will subconsciously be perceived by other passengers as a barrier, so the number of people wanting to sit next door will be minimal.
An even better option would be to get a pillow and a blanket immediately after landing, and lie down to sleep on two or three chairs at once, in which case it is unlikely that anyone will disturb you so that you move away and let him sit in the same row.
First row/row in front of which there are no seats
If your row is the first (this can be not only the “first row” physically, but also the first row, after another class of service, or the first row in one of the sections of the cabin, in front of which there are no seats), then a significant advantage of this arrangement is that No one will throw back their seat on you. With short row spacing in economy class, this can be very important.
Of the minuses, we note that most likely there will be a partition or a kitchen/toilet in front of you. Some passengers find it not very convenient to look at the “wall” for the entire flight. Also, there may be mounts for baby cradles in the wall. What this entails - read above.
Last row/row behind which there are no seats
Most likely, the backs of the seats in this row do not recline or are very limited in this. This happens when there is an emergency exit, toilet, kitchen, other technical room or wall behind you.
Summarize
Here, in brief, is a list of good/bad places that a traveler can expect. But it is worth noting that the internal layout of aircraft differs significantly from each other, and this factor must also be taken into account.In addition to the fact that there are 2, 3, 4 seats in a row, it is necessary to take into account the distance between the seats, the number of classes in the cabin, and other features. After all, the same company uses different types of aircraft for flights.
Adviсe. How to get the best seats
1. The model of the airliner, the smallest details of the comfort of the cabins (the presence of a TV, electrical sockets, spacing between rows, location of toilets) can be easily found on the airline’s website.
2. If you specifically know which seat you would like to get, you should ask this question when checking in for your flight at the airport (seats that remain unoccupied after online check-in are allocated there).If you have no idea about the location of the seats, ask to see a diagram of the aircraft’s interior - all free seats will be highlighted in the appropriate color.
Also, when checking in at the airport, you can simply ask for a window seat, an aisle seat, etc. Usually the staff does not refuse.
3. At modern airports you can use the services of self-check-in kiosks and choose your seat. Also, this can almost always be done when registering online on the website of the airline of your choice - this will significantly save time.
The largest Russian airlines already provide this service.
The traditional check-in method is best done two hours before departure. If seats are booked this way, the first registrants have a wide choice of available seats.
4. If possible, you should use less crowded flights - in this case, the comfort of the flight will increase significantly, because (if you wish) you will even have the opportunity to sleep in three free seats; the main thing is not to forget to ask the flight attendant to bring a pillow and a blanket.
The busiest days are Sunday and Friday, with morning and evening flights. If you have time, choose Monday, Tuesday, or Thursday, midday or afternoon flights.
5. In order not to get into trouble, you should take into account the spelling of the letters indicating the seat number - they can be either Russian (1A, 1B, 1B, 1G,1D, 1E) or Latin (1A, 1B, 1C, 1D, 1E , 1F), and in certain situations, these are, as they say, two big differences that can overshadow the impression of the flight.After all, for example, seat 1 “B” will have a different location, meaning both a chair near the aisle and in the middle of the row. This must be taken into account so as not to end up with seat 1B (which you thought was near the aisle) in a seat in the middle (since it turned out that this is not the Russian “B”, but the Latin “B”).
Also pay close attention to the letter “E”.Therefore, it is better to choose seats with unambiguous letters: 1A is always a seat by the window, 1C - in any cabin layout will be a seat by the aisle.
Advice. If you fly often, then you know the main stress of everyone (who does not fly in business class;) is to sit in the middle seat in a row of three seats. Knowing and understanding this phobia, you can turn it to your advantage and less often have a neighbor nearby when flying.
At check-in, if you are flying together, ask the staff to seat you in seats near the window and on the aisle. Nobody likes to sit in the middle, and unless the plane is packed to capacity, you won't have an unwanted neighbor. If you are flying solo, you can negotiate this maneuver with another person you like who, like you, is traveling solo. Or simply ask to be seated in the aisle where the window seat is available.
The only problem here is that if the plane is full, you will be separated by a stranger. All that remains is to negotiate with him so that he can move.
6. You should definitely take into account the direction of flight - if you choose the right place, the sun will not blind your eyes: East - West (the sun always shines on the left), West - East (on the right).If there is a need to take a morning flight, the direction North - South will enjoy the sun on the left side, and South - North - on the right.
How to avoid accidentally taking the worst seats

Check with your airline representative if possible.

Do not take seats between emergency exits or behind which they are located.
If you still find yourself in an uncomfortable chair
If you nevertheless received a ticket for a not very convenient seat, then immediately after boarding you have a few minutes to take a more convenient free space (if there are unoccupied seats, of course).
Moreover, it is better not to be embarrassed and change seats yourself, rather than wait for the services of a flight attendant.
After the last person appears on board and the flight attendant announces “Boarding is over”, you have 5 minutes to find a comfortable free seat.There is little time, because after the plane reaches the required speed, getting up from the passenger seat will be strictly prohibited. Well, after gaining altitude, it is likely that all the most comfortable seats on the plane will be occupied by faster and smarter passengers. Yes, and don't worry about it. You will always have time to sit in your rightful (according to your ticket) seat.

I hope that these simple tips will help you fly comfortably without unnecessary stress.
