WHAT YOU MUST KNOW BEFORE PURCHASING AIRPLANE SEAT

February 23, 2019 / 19 Comments

In conclusion, don’t pay an extra charge to select your seat in the airplane. Basically for 2 reasons, the first; you can choose your place for free on the majority of the flights. The second, even if seat selection it is not available on your flight, still the odds are high to get a good seat. Particularly if you check in early, you can always check-in online. However, if you decided to spend some cash on selecting your seat on the airplane, here are some facts you must know before purchasing airplane seat.

 

before purchasing airplane seat

Before purchasing airplane seat you should consider the sun. The sun is irritating if you are sitting in the window seat. Even it could get worse when the crew asks u to open the window on the flight ascending and descending. So, maybe you like to avoid the sunny side of the airplane.

But how to know? Well, if you check-in online, you will get the seat number. The seat A is always the left-wing window seat. While the L seat is always the right-wing seat. So, how to know which wing will be the sunny one? It is simple and can be easily expected. It depends on the flight time, duration, and direction. So if you are traveling in the morning time, the sun is expected in the first half of the flight, and if you travel at night, then the sun will definitely wake you up in the last hours of the flight.

Knowing the fact that if your flight from the north to the south, the sun will rise from your left side and will dawn on your right side, gives you a pretty good idea about when and where to expect the sun.

 

the best seat for sleeping

If you are one of the lucky people who may fall sleep no matter what are the conditions and surroundings, at that point, you needn’t bother with our tips. Perhaps you are the one to give us tips on how might we do it. If you are planning to sleep on the airplane, besides preparing your sleeping tools, you need to choose a comfortable seat. While the best settings are in the business class, still you can get restful sleep in the economy class. The first row is always spacious, the last row is optimum for reclining. Note that for safety issues, the exit rows are not always reclining.

The aisle seat gives you more space to stretch your legs. Also, most likely, you will disembark earlier. The disadvantage is that you are liable to be disturbed by the other passengers when they pass beside you.

Definitely, The best seat for sleeping is the window seat. As you can rest your head on the window and control the light and the sun. Also, no other passengers to disturb you. Don’t forget to make your seat-belt fasten and clear to the stuff crew so they will not wake u up when the airplane is landing. For smooth sleep, I should mention that the seats on the wing are less affected by the air turbulence.

 

Safety

Does it truly matter? If the engine stopped or the airplane crashed, does the seat position make any difference? Honestly, the answer is no. However, it is a desperate trial to increase the survival chances if ever it happened. Reports and statistics tell that survival rate is higher on the aisle seat than the window seat, and on airplane rear than the nose or the wing. But also, I must remind you that the airplanes by far are the safest mood of transportation.

 

finding the vacant seat

To book your flight early enable the flexibility to choose the seat you like, and change it later if desired. However late check-in can tell which places are vacant and if you are lucky enough you may be able to buy the seat where the next 2 seats are empty which look like a couch and better for sleeping. You would look like a first-class passenger on the economy class.

 

the scenic seat

The window seat is favorable for enjoying the beautiful scenes of our planet earth. The natural views are fascinating. The best seats for spectacular views are the window, as you can experience the full view. The wings could obscure the vision if you sit in the back of the airplane.

 

In the end, the earlier determination of the plane seat is relying upon you, whether you want to enjoy the view or you want to sleep. But unfortunately, you can buy a seat, but you can not buy a companion. In my opinion, a friendly co-operative passenger beside you is obviously more essential than the seat.
