The seat that you pick on a flight could determine whether you have a good or bad experience in the air.
Some passengers will opt for window seats so that they can see what's going on outside, while others may want to cash out on seats with a little extra leg room.
However, while some seats may enhance your experience, others could make a flight much more unpleasant or uncomfortable.
One that is well-known for giving flyers a poor experience is seat 11A on Ryanair flights, which has no window - or a tiny window that you can't really look out of - despite being on the window aisle, reports the Star.
Some passengers who even pay for a window seat may find themselves on seat 11A, leading to disappointment and a rating of one star out of five on Seatlink, which lets people rate aeroplane seats
One reviewer stated: “There is no window if you need to see out to not feel sick stay away.
“I thought I was going to vomit for 90% of the flight as I had no reference to the outside.”
The only other seats on Ryanair’s Boeing 737-800 to receive such a low score were seats 33A to F – because they’re right in front of the loos - and the toilets can begin to smell on a long haul journey.
But Ryanair’s seats aren’t the only ones which people try to avoid – many other planes and airlines have “bad” seats which people say to steer clear of.
The Telegraph said: “Norwegian’s 737s have the same issue (avoid seats 10A, 11A and 11F), as does American Airlines’ (steer clear of 11A and 11F).
“But if you fly with easyJet, the windowless perches are at the back, rather than in the middle. Seat 31A, to be precise, for those on its A320 aircraft, and seat 26A and 26F on its A319s.”
Plus, British Airways A380s apparently have a number of seats with rubbish or limited views from the windows. Both 70A and 70K in economy will offer little in the way of a window view.
And, this also applies to 12A, 12K, 50A and 50K in Club World. So make sure you check your seat before paying extra or choosing your position.
Over on Reddit, frequent flyers recommend using SeatGuru.
One person said: “ Seatguru is a good source for scouting out a good seat.”
The website lets you look up the seating plan of your upcoming flight so that you can locate the seats with the most leg room or with fewer seats in your row.
