Hope the Budget Airlines Aren't Reading This! Research Reveals Which Is the Best Seat on a Plane
The battle for the best seat on a plane is one airlines seem to find ever more inventive ways of monetising. But flight comparison website Skyscanner today claimed to have identified the perfect place to perch. The site surveyed more than 1,000 airline passengers on their seat preferences – the study did not consider the extra legroom factor – looking at which section of the aircraft they chose, and whether they sat in the middle, aisle or window. And the verdict is in – seat 6A. Previous research has found that passengers prefer the front six rows of the plane, while 60 per cent of people favour a window seat, 40 per cent opt for the aisle and just one per cent the middle. The survey also found that 31E, a middle seat located near the back of the plane, was the one most wanted to avoid. Skyscanner travel editor Sam Baldwin explained the reasons for the results.
