Why you should never book seat 11A on an airplane: experts explain what's wrong with it

Getting a comfortable seat on an airplane is like winning the lottery. You need to have plenty of legroom, neighbors who don't bother you when you need to get up, and safety is important to keep in mind. Many passengers are willing to pay extra for a good seat.

Express turned to experts to find out more about the intricacies of choosing the right seat on an airplane. And they recommended that when checking in for a flight, you consider the proximity of the toilet when choosing a seat to ensure greater comfort.

Think about how often you need to use the restroom. If you have to get up many times, consider this when choosing a location. Usually, restrooms are located at the front and rear of the cabin. So try to sit closer to them whenever possible and avoid the middle of the plane.

The best choice in this case is seat 4C. It is located close enough to the toilet, but you will not be disturbed by specific odors and people standing in line.

But perhaps the worst option would be seat 11A. Not only is it far from the restroom, but it's also a seat near the outer edge of the cabin, so if you need to go out, you'll have to lift the entire row. One would expect that all this discomfort would be compensated for by the proximity of the window, but usually, this particular seat is located near a blank wall.

Another thing to think about is how often you get up to stretch on the road. If you need to take a few steps around the cabin from time to time, give preference to a seat near the aisle. Yes, you won't be able to admire the scenery from above, but it will be very easy for you to take care of your well-being during the flight.
