Wondering how to sit comfortably in the economy class? Let us help choose your seat!

Did you know? Inside the economy cabin of an aircraft, seats are not created equal.

There are exit row seats which have space to move around, front row seats which by design have no seat before them, bulkhead seats and seats in particular sections of the plane where toddlers and younger passengers can’t go.

A couple of years back Airline carriers started to monetize these favorable circumstances and now they’re all yours, for an expense of course!

We at AirWhizz have some insider secrets that can help you land a seat in the economy class which would suit your needs and helps you fly as comfortably as possible.

1. For those looking for additional space

If you are a fleet -of- foot flyer who likes to take advantage of vacant seats on the plane and likes to occupy it as soon as the doors close, then booking a seat at the back of the plane is ideal for you.

Generally, there are airplane lavatories at the back of the airplane which can cause a lot of clutter. Plus, the noise of the engines is loud.

But if you can live through that then you have a chance of getting an empty seat behind or beside you. You can also take advantage of empty overhead bins if your seat is booked at the back of the airplane

2. For the Noise-avoiding flyer

Aircraft’s have quieter cabins these days. But, if you want to avoid the noise of the engines, book a seat which is situated ahead of the wings of the airplane since the noise is deflected backward.

Frequent flyers say that aisle seats are much more quiet as compared to window seats which are situated ahead of the airplane wings.

3. For those looking to sit Comfortably

If you want to sit comfortably on the flight, then the seat behind the bulkhead (a dividing wall between cabins on long-haul flights) is the best option for you to book a seat since it gives you extra space in front of your seat.

Also, the biggest advantage for those who don’t like reclining seats is that you have no seats in front of you to recline. But booking this seat comes with a few disadvantages.

You cannot stretch your legs since aligning your legs to the bulkhead is considered untidy and annoys flight attendants and chances of getting this seat is very rare since people book it in advance.

4. For the passenger seeking leg room

If you are a tall person then booking a seat in the exit rows of the plane is ideal since the seat pitch and width is higher.

In case you are wondering what seat pitch is, it is a measure of how much space there is between a seat and the one immediately behind or in front of it.So the higher the number, the more legroom you will have.

You can get information about seat pitch and width for most airlines from sites such as SeatGuru.

5. For the Nervous flyer

Book a seat in the front part of the economy cabin if you are a nervous flyer.This is because front seats are quieter and smoother.

A window or an aisle seat is your personal choice because for some  the view from the window is soothing and for those who are afraid of heights, an aisle seat is reassuring.

If you are a nervous flyer you can also book a seat situated above the wing of an airplane since its less turbulent.

So next time you fly and are looking for information about your flight, look no further cause AirWhizz gives you detailed flight and airport information for your trip and helps you fly stress-free!
