Planned to do this. But when I got there an old man who couldn’t understand English was sitting in my seat. Being the introvert that I am I gave up my more expensive window seat to sit in his middle seat just to not cause a scene 😭
@@volf8586 it kind of does. I did an 11 hr flight and didn't have to fight for the bathroom when everyone was sleeping. I've done in state and out if country flights. It's makes a huge difference when you're prepared.
I have a bit of a phobia of seeing or hearing (or even knowing about) people vomiting, so the aisle seat terrifies me: what if someone has to climb over me to get to the restroom when they are about to vomit, and they end up vomiting on/near me? Just the thought of that makes me want to never fly again. So I choose the window seat, wear noise-canceling headphones, crank up the music, close my eyes, and pretend no one else is around.
Interesting. I don’t mind getting up for others, but I also don’t mind when others need to stand up so I can get by. If they’re annoyed because I need to use the restroom - a very reasonable need - then that’s their issue, not mine.
I can never get out of someone’s way enough because for some reason my brain makes me *stop* instead of _moving out of the way like a considerate person._ So I’m still lost on what seat I should book 😂
I fell asleep on a flight once. Someone woke me up to use the bathroom. I’ve always preferred the window seat anyway, but that just made me even more stubborn about it.
But, but nowadays more and more carriers have high quality cams installed outside the plane so you just need to tune to the right channels on the entertainment set. Belly view for take off and landing (=cool) and the cams under the wings which is nice as u can see the clouds or landscape if daytime. All that in my aisle seat... 🙃
I swear, this is how I do it allll the time! I set an alarm when online check-in opens and always get seats that row 😂 you forgot to stay away as far as possible from the crying babies in row 44 tho🤓
@@WilmaWestenberg oh no way. Thats interesting. I dont fly so, i havent been on a plane since 2008 and i dont think they had those on the airline i flew on. So this is cool to see! Atleast for moms and dads. Haha!
If nobody wants those window seats, I'll take them!! 😁😁😁👍🏼 I hate when people close the shutter and sleep when they have window seats, and I've tried hard to get one! 🤦♀️I love the scenery, even when it's just clouds! Beautiful! ♥️
once got those seats cause no one wanted them because there where parents with a crying baby, XD, i had my own headphones to instead of cheap airline ones so i didnt hear much of it
@@chelseabonnette93 The ones at the back are what the bright side says but who trusts that almost-bankrupt company anyway. Damn, this comment section is epic
@@Myleen_Benakli there was a study recently conducted where engineers crashed a commercial plane in the desert of Mexico on purpose, filled with sensors and the back rows do have the highest survival chance. Just search for articles on it.
I usually take the window seat in those rows if I’m flying with my family, because I love looking out the window and asking people to move when it’s your family isn’t that bad 😆
same also other people dont need to ask me to move so they can use the bathroom like JUST LEAVE ME ALONE BRUHH if im was on a flight from a country i dont know the language of to another country i dont know the language of and in aisle seat someone might as u to move in a language u dont know i'd just stare at them like "uhhhhh" bc idk wtf they saying
I usually go on 12 hour flights to Hong Kong and I sit near the window I don’t need to pee most of the time and plus my family doesn’t mind me crawling over them
The seats in the front have a ton of leg room and none of that weird “excuse me” to use the bathroom. Those are my absolute favorite. Window seat preferred too
Yup! I go for those bulkhead seats that don't cost extra like the emergency exit row seats! The only downside is there is a **chance** you might be near a baby, as that's also where they have the attachments for babies. Buuuuut I've found this only happens a fraction of the time. So it's worth the risk, especially on longer flights where that extra leg room is crucial. Plus, while I'm short, my partner is 6'2" so the extra leg room is extra crucial for him!
As a 1,95m individual I love the seats by the emergency doors, and if someone left a stinky in the toilet just pop up the emergency door and let someone fresh air in, everyone will scream of joy. ☺️
Once, I was stuck on a 10 hour flight, heat was cranked ALL the way up, middle seat, person in front of me’s chair reclined nearly all the way back, sweater I couldn’t take off bc nothing underneath, claustrophobia, and screaming baby. Fun times 😊
@johnwu3593 I've ridden several. The 'local', in Chennai, was literally standing room only. Thankfully it was a short trip, but totally interesting. - from a western woman's point of view. Peace
Naa in a window seat you only have to move when you have to use the restroom but in another seat you have to move when you have to use to the restroom AND when the other person has to use the restroom. Therefore you spend less energy at a window seat so it’s better.
Yea but your literally STUCK in a windows seat with NO room to move or wiggle whatsoever plus upon disembarking you gotta wait for the assholes next to ya to move, although you may or may not be late for a connection flight and need to get the hell out asap. Isle seat FTW .....ESPECIALLY on a long haul 8+h trip 🤷🏼♀️ Trust me. I'm a pro in long hauls.....
For me, moving to get out of the way of someone else is way better than disturbing other people by asking them to get out of the way. Plus, I can’t sleep on planes, so there’s never the problem of someone wanting to go to the toilet but I’m in their way and asleep, so I think that me being in the aisle seat does people a service
I rather ask someone to move so I can use the bathroom than having someone else wake me up because they need to use the bathroom so I prefer the window seat
@@algebruh_m8652 I wasn't putting on an act in the first place I was just saying 2 possibilities of WHY you would go on a plane even though you don't have a window seat. And just MAYBE someone is afraid of heights or something like that but and doesn't want a window seat. And I understand that some people like starring out the window... but some don't...
For short flights I agree, for long flights (+ 4 hours) I would go with 44J ⭐️ only during take of and landing you have the inconvenience of leaving your bag on the overhead compartment and have the TV hiding in the seat. But once you are on the air, you can take your bag and put in on the floor in front of you, having enough space to lift you feet on top of you bag, lean on the wall next to the the window, and sleep live a baby. And anytime you have to go to the bathroom or need to stand a little, you don’t need to bother anyone because you have enough space Thant you can just walk in front of the other people seating next to you. I’ve done this in a 11 hour flight and it was worth paying the reserved seat, best long flight I’ve had
If I had the money I'd probably just buy a row of 3 and have those seats reserved. That way I have a window seat and I have more room and no one next to me.
Seats in front of the wing are SO MUCH QUIETER! My chances of getting to sleep on a flight double if I'm in the front section. Even right over the wing is better than behind it.
I fly using Aeroplan points. I once had them ask where I would like to sit on the plane (first time they ever asked). I chose somewhere away from the engine for once. The day of my flight, as I'm waiting to board they call me up to the both. They had moved me back to the seat by the window one row back from the engine. Oof 😂 Never flown anywhere other than by the wing.
Yeah right. And also usually airlines block front part of economy for their loyalty members and high ticket class passenger so front part of economy is usually better and has more empty seats.
This is the the flight attendant opinion, but in my opinion the 57 J seat is the best seat out there, because its the corner seat next to the window where you are in the back of the airplane, so nobody is sitting behind you and so, if you smell bad or make some farts you cant hold in. The dude behind you is not going to look with strange faces towards you, because there is no dude or woman behind you, so nobody needs to smell it.
This! I want to watch the clouds sometimes when I'm bored of the things I brought along. And it gives me something to fidgit with ig. Plus leaning against the wall if I get tired instead of an awkward slump or sleeping with my head on the tray;;;;
I refuse to sit anywhere but the Aisle seat for a few reasons. 1. My social Anxiety can not handle asking people to move let alone wake them up to ask them. 2.Easier for me to get out and get my carryon than it is for middle and window 3. For some reason I feel safer there. (I have a fear of Flying takeoff I get through okay and landing Is a bit worse for me since the plane goes sideways as well it can be a bumpy landing. The turbulence absolutely terrifies me. )
The back has highest rate of survival in a crash, you have plenty of time to grab your stuff, no one will bother you, you’re near the bathroom, and you’ll most likely have a row to yourself.
@@synewparadigm Not usually and even so it's one of the most structural parts of a plane. In a crash the tail often separates. However surprisingly this is a good thing as it stops much sooner than the rest of the plane leaving you away from pesky things like fire. And the horizontal and vertical stabilizers keep the entire cabin from rolling when it separates. Usually the last row of seats in the tail are all that's left and crashes.
When she eliminated the window seats I got personally offended Edit: go to toilet before, rest a little watch the view and u have to have a quick ass metabolism to drink water, and want to pee in the next 30 minutes
And they recline.. at least for all my flights I did around 700K miles .. I prefer the last row window, you don’t smell the toilet that hard, you can choose your meal first and get it first, nobody is behind you, nobody wants this seat. But also love emergency seats so much leg room
On long haul flights I prefer the seats backing against the galley kitchen - smelling food is better, no one kicking the back of your seat, reclining without worrying, extra storage behind, better interactions with the flight attendants.
It doesn't matter where you seat if it's not the first row; some inconsiderate b a s t a r d will recline their seats waaay too far in front of you as if they're in a first class pod and make the whole row recline their seats like dominoes in the first 30 minutes of a 7 hour flight.
If you’re taller than 5’8” (I’m over 6’) than having the seat in front of you smash against your knees for 6 hours is enough to make you never want to fly again. For that reason it’s emergency row or bust.
Taller gang (6'8) I usually get a waiver to board early, emergency seating isn't 'allowed' for this even though the whole point is legroom 🤨 very front row it is isle seat 2nd best legroom
I always take the window seat. I love looking out of the window, it's the best part of flying. Also, I can't sleep when I'm not sitting on a window seat. In window seats you can put your head against the wall, in aisle seats you're trying to make yourself comfortable somehow and when you finally manage to one of the people next to you will have to get out. That or people passing by will wake you up. Window seat always wins.
THIS! I’m a bigger person and it’s so irritating getting an aisle seat or being smushed between two strangers. The aisle seat, if I don’t sit uncomfortably close to the person next to me, then people brush me as they walk by in the aisle. I like to sleep on flights and I hate wanting to sleep and getting woken up to move for someone to go to the bathroom then you gotta stay up to move for them to sit back down… Hate the middle seat cause I don’t like being smushed between two people, I feel super awkward. Window seat ftw. Can lean my body into it, also love the views & don’t have to move at all unless you personally need the bathroom. From a selfish standpoint, It feels better having others move for you than having to move for others when it comes to the bathrooms, but that’s why I make sure to use it before I get on flights and wait till I get on the flight for drinks. I do my eating before I board the flight
@@profoxster9254 I like to take a shower upon arriving anyway, it feels like there's dirt everywhere in the plane lol And if possible I wear a hoodie or use these little pillows you get on long howl flights as some kind of barrier; but tbh I don't care that much about the dirt when I'm tired and need to sleep. It's not like I'm putting my face against it and I can shower afterwards anyway (still gives me more peace of mind if I have something in between me and the window).
I relied on this video to book my 1st international flight alone. I just took a window seat because I prefer being against the wall to sleep in the plane, but other than that I followed every advice. Thank you Jeenie, my flight was perfect thanks to you 😊
True, also if you seat in front of the engine it's super noisy as you can hear it spin, but if you sit behind them you only hear the blast which is less noisy
@@sal_strazzulloI've mostly always sat in front of the engines and never noticed any loud noise. I'm usually very sensitive to loud noises so that's interesting
@@joel.ha. I don't know on Boeing planes, but on the a319 I've been seated very close to the engine and I could hear the distinguishable noise during takeoff and climb then it reduced intensity
How I calculate the best seats, viewing the wreckage of plane crashes the front end is usually obliterated, the tail end falls off for some unknown to me reason, but the wing section is always intact. Wing section for me.
economy is generally loud, but long flights directly next to the wings… worst experience ever. didnt help the 14+ hr flight had a screaming baby as well
Hate to break it to you, but you’re directly over every fuel line in the aircraft haha. You’re the first to go in a fire. About 5-10 rows from the back is the GOAT (in terms of safety)
She eliminated front rows solely because she isn't tall, which is perfectly fine for those folks. So for those of us on the taller side, the front rows are still the best options for leg room, higher likelihood of receiving the beverage/snack you want, and being one of the first to board/one of the first to leave.
Yeah if I get a choice im looking for either front row, sometimes there's subdividers in economy that work the same or emergency exits for the leg room. I'm not even that tall, I'm only 6'2" and my knees are usually wedged in the seat in front of me.
I once didn't book the last seats because of this video (you said they don't recline). The plane was changed, so I ended up getting the last row and it was the best thing ever! I could actually recline the seat and no one was bothered by it! It was just great! And it was calm and quiet because no one was behind me. Additionally, I was close to the bathroom _(without the smell)_ and close to the cabin crew. I also had a window for myself and no one could take it away or be bothered by it! 🤩😁
for someone who rarely get out of my seat for bathroom, i prefer the window seats so that no one will ask me to get up for them to go out and then i can sleep in peace 😌
For all of my tall people: I’m 6’3” and always go for the front seats. When you sit there for the first time it’s like your legs finally get to know the sweet taste of freedom. No more having to shove your legs to the side and your back hurting because you can’t sit straight, because your legs literally physically don’t fit. My tall people know what I’m talking about.
@@thesaint8400 6’5” and it was the best flight I’ve had when I had a emergency exit row seat. I could stretch my leg all the way out and I think i will get that row as often as I can since that flight
I'm glad there are people like you, that eliminate all window seats as an option. This way the nice people like me that like a nature view (yes, clouds count), and the ability to lean my pillow on the wall when I sleep, get a seat too! 😃
That’s what I’m thinkin. I got a good bladder, no one is going to have to wake me up to use the bathroom, and I can lean my head against the wall to sleep
I like to look out the window…and I’d rather ask to be let out on my terms, vs have to move for someone else, or even be woken up by someone else to let them out. To each their own. 🤷♀️
I go to the bathroom more on the air for some reason so I'd prefer the aisle. Love it when it's just me and my wife and a spare seat though so I can get the window seat and sleep resting on the window and I don't have to feel bad going to the bathroom.
@@vufcyfxcyyfccfugvi7466I’ve seen some of the most beautiful scenery on flights. Think of a sunrise over the ice caps of Greenland, descending into Innsbruck inbetween mountains, and flying over Alaska. Sure these are exotic, but even for short flights, say San Francisco to Los Angeles, it’s still so cool looking out the window during departure and arrival seeing everything else.
@@grueslayer i got a free sandwich and a caramel chocolate. I didn't like sandwiches or caramel. But, i ate the sandwich anyway, and good thing, the only thing my grandparents fed us 4 lunch: turkey sandwich
that’s interesting! personally, the window makes my anxiety worse, because i can look and see how high up we are, and during landing (generally the part i hate most) i can see us getting closer to the ground
I’m 5’1 but I love the front seats because of the flimsy tvs since I feel important when I put them away for whatever reason plus their the only seats where you could be in the middle but still don’t need to ask for someone else to move so you can leave but I sadly don’t get these seats cause people need them more than me 100%
I would want a window seat because I probably would want to look out the window, want a place to put my head when I sleep, wouldn’t want to be next to the isle where others can see/bump into me more easily, and I can hold my bladder anyway.
This!!! I recently had my window seat given to another passenger after missing my connecting flight (the flight I was on was late) and I had to accept an Emergency door seat, by the aisle. It was the most miserable flight 😭 everyone kept bumping into me, my elbow was hit twice by the drinks cart, there was no place to put anything, the restroom smelled disgusting, and my neck hurt so bad afterwards. Window seat is the best!
Personally, I hate being asked to move every time someone needs. I sleep for more than half the time on long flights so I prefer not to be an obstacle for people. So 49A is my best bet.
@@StarCrossed.Reader the key is not drinking too much water so you don't need to use the bathroom, having earplugs and blindfold, and preparing something to listen to to block out what the earplugs don't fix, ocean sounds or something. Use a small pillow not a neck pillow (they suck). Take off your shoes, lean back your seat and go to town. Bonus for a light blanket for extra cozyness + protection against powerful ac. I struggle to sleep in my bed but I can sleep on planes.
The choice between window middle and aisle depends on the flight length. If its a very short flight, just take a middle seat at the front of the plane if there’s open seating or its cheaper. Medium length flight (2-8 hours) get the aisle so you can get up whenever you want. Long flight (or redeye), get the window seat so you can sleep.
I feel like the seats in the back should be the only ones to recline.. That’s the only seat where you aren’t being an a-hole to the person already scrunched in behind you
@@davidsnyder7341 I just stick my knee in there. Equally uncomfortable but instead of looking like the asshole that I am it just looks like I have long legs (which I do) and I'm in a more uncomfortable position than they are.
@Oliver Lambert that's true. Fun fact (not a really fun in my opinion 😂) the coronavirus is like the flu it will come back every year like flu does so good luck 😂
I traveled multiple flights per week for almost all of 2018, 2019 and some of 2020. Covid changed my job role, but I gotta say, after several hundred flights I came to the exact same conclusion as she did; but I wouldn't be able to break it down as well as she just did.
This is also my logic! Plus there's a chance that the two other people in the section are traveling together, in which case no one would bother you at all :D
My ideal seats are on the back of the plane, behind the wing so I can see it through the window. The back because I like the feeling of my stomach dropping as the plane takes off and that's more prominent in the back
@@FlorFlorifera I don't really know , my dad does all the booking and if we had the option he prolly would because my sister needs to accompanied by an adult so they need atleast two seats together. Since we normally do get atleast two , there isn't really a need to pay more because we don't travel much by plane
I like how you explained your thinking. If I fly by myself, I def want the window seat. I like to be able to see out/shut out the rest of the plane. It feels like more room. It’s perfect for me. If I’m with my husband he’s over 6’ so he’d like as much leg room as possible.
I asked to change seats before my flight cause I was in a non reclining seat and got put in the back and luckily got a whole row to myself! It was a 14 hour flight so I was super grateful for the room to relax and spread my stuff out.
Also the flight is significantly louder if you sit at or behind the wings where the engines are. Getting a seat in front of the engines drastically reduces how loud the flight is
Aisle seats being the best? Hardly. Between having to get up every time one of the two other people have to use the bathroom and getting accidentally elbowed by everyone passing by, I’ll take a window seat. Every. Time.
maybe it’s just my anxiety but I’d way rather have to get up for someone else than feel like I’m bothering by asking them to get up when I wanna go to the washroom lol. that being said, i love staring out the window on airplanes too …..
Do you feel bothered when someone asks you to get up? No. So you shouldn't worry if you're the one asking. Everyone's human and has needs, no need to feel ashamed.
@@rodolfo_rlf In the grand scheme of things, no. My personal preference, however, is to not put myself in that situation. I want to sleep through any flight I’m on, and getting woken up sucks.
"Seats near the bathroom stink like shit..." On my flight I was seated right in front of the bathroom! It did not stink like shit. I loved it actually! I could recline without disturbing others and was close to the free goodies in the kitchen and there was a little spot behind my seat for me to stand.
But I LOVE the middle seat. It helps with my claustrophobia, because the outside seat makes me feel like I have to be on the inside of my seat, and like the walk path is like a wall. The inside seat for obvious reasons is bad for claustrophobia. Middle seat just makes me feel like I’m tucked in neatly, I’m perfectly in the middle of my seat, doing my own thing, I have a view of the outside, and I don’t have to worry about the walkway.
My flight India Russia was like, sitting in the back near the toilet, people were using my seat to keep standing, on my right a grandma who wanted to go toilet every 10 minutes, and by the end of the flight she finally dropped her coffee over my clothes and stuff. Shit.
@@wrenwhite8402 where the fuck does it say the bathroom going and the coffee had anything to do with each other? Reading comprehension- try it. It’s a great thing.
I was on a plane once where the entire back 4 rows were empty and only my family were aware of it. Each member took a row and it was the best flight ever 😂
This is pretty common if a flight isn’t sold out. People prefer to move to the front so the back empties out and you’re more likely to get a row with and empty seat or a whole empty row to yourself
My brother and usual travel companion is 6'6, so I often sit with him in those rows. Since I'm always very polite to the staff, I always find somewhere nearby to stash my belongings too 👍🏼
Can't recommend the aisle seats when flying Lufthansa. The flight attendants seem to be trained to bump into every single seat whenever they pass. Also, once the flight attendant decided to tinker with the seat of the person next to me while he's single handedly balancing the tray with different beverages over my head. Guess what happened. On yet another occasion, the flight attendant forcefully stacked all the plastic cups, but someone didn't finish their drink so I got another shower.
I love window seats, I don’t have to use the bathroom often and love being able to fully curl up into a ball and hang out smushed against the wall like I’m hidden. It’s the vibe.
It's alright to recline. What I cannot take are the inconsiderate b a s t a r d s who recline their seats at nearly 180 degrees like a chair at the dentist's clinic, making the whole row behind them tilt like dominoes. Everybody nearly pays for the same economy class fee, if they want to max out their comfort they better be the ones to pay for that first class pod.
i used to prefer the isle seat too, but now that i sleep for literally the entire flight, i always pick window so i can rest my head on the side and no one will wake me up to go to the toilet
I love the window seat. I just want to stare at the landscape and pretend no one else exists. But when I travel with my son, I let him have the window and I take the middle seat so no one else has to suffer with no access to anything and no arm rests. I still get a pretty decent view of the scenery.
Fun fact: you have to be of not kicking and crying age to sit in the emergency rows so you can avoid kids by sitting in the row in front of the emergency row.
@@xYOSIYAx yeah and who could forget the clouds! Also if I am flying with family it doesn’t matter about asking a stranger if they could move so I could go to the bathroom
Ever fallen asleep on an isle seat? I did. Head in my hand, my arm bent leaning on the arm rest. The amount of times someone walked past and knocked my arm out from under me, abruptly waking to my head jerking towards the floor...not fun.
I'm not much of a plane passenger, but from my experience in bus, the window seat leaves you less room for the window-side arm, as the wall is too close, therefore I prefer the isle seat as it's more comfortable
But one small flaw that makes the middle seat the best way to survive an airplane crash. Whenever it crashes. The middle seat is getting shielded by the front side and back. Meaning you have a higher chance of survival in airplanes despite being the worst seat
the "they fill up front first" certainly doesn't work for Etihad: on a round trip germany-Abu Dhabi-Tokyo they filled up 90% of the back 1/3 of the plane, while the middle was only occupied for about 20%...for all 4 flights. So I just went to the stewardess and asked whether I could go to the front. Easy bed/3 seats secured
Honestly the best seat for me is the front row window seat because you get leg room and you get to look out the window, also you don’t have to ask anyone to move so you can go to the bathroom
but if you sit in a row with two of your friends then you can sit at the window because you will be more comfortable telling them to move their asses so you can use the bathroom
I think window seats are much better. Short flights with nice scenery give you good views. And while it is awkward to ask someone to get up so you can use the bathroom, the upside is that no one will ever ask you to move from a window seat so you can be uninterrupted in either sleep or movies as long as you want
@@ibtisammmm ik but it takes me like really long to even say "excuse me" because I'm too nervous lol but by then the plane's already halfway to its destination xD
it's worst when you want the window but your sibling takes it- and your parent has to sit in the middle so you don't fight, so you end up with the aisle seat-
Middle seats is the loved ones seat. Where you only want it if you're traveling with someone you dont mind being smooshed with (and to keep you away from a stranger in the remaining seat)
I would rather deal with the astronomically minuscule chance of death to have the ability to get off the plane faster rather than dealing with having to wait until everyone else gets off the plane to get off the plane.
as a tall person i basically need the emergency exit row seats to be somewhat comfortable. i almost physically do not fit in the normal rows, my knees press very hard into the seat in front of me. any flight over 2-3 hours is brutal
@@nickjackson2701anywhere from 185 cm depending on the airline. I'm 195 and surprisingly Wizz Air is a blessing for me since their seats don't recline and nobody can squash me.
I would pick something closer to the front because its less bumpy... and while I usually don't have a preference between isle and window seats, this plane has 2 isles which means its a really long flight (probably overnight) and having the wall/window to lean up against is far superior than any isle seat!
Have you ever tried business or first class? I'm not here to mock or boast, but sometimes I get booted to first class cause they overbook a flight and I volunteer to wait for another one. You have not lived until you've rested your ass on a first class seat and then have it tilt back onto a full recline. 😩😩😩
@@scottwpilgrim Yeah my work flies me in business for international flights. Domestic is still economy, though. Sometimes I'll upgrade myself if it's a longer flight with points if there's no free upgrades. But if its under 2.5 hrs, I just don't see it being worth it.
Respect not having to ask to get up, but 1. I want to control whether or not there’s sunlight directly in my face. 2. I don’t want to have to be asked to get up so others can move.
Use the bathroom before the flight, pick a window seat to lean your head against the side. Also, this is the ideal seat for introverts!
This is exactly what I do every flight.

Yeah same! I get bored really easily so looking out the window can entertain me

But, but nowadays more and more carriers have high quality cams installed outside the plane so you just need to tune to the right channels on the entertainment set. Belly view for take off and landing (=cool) and the cams under the wings which is nice as u can see the clouds or landscape if daytime. All that in my aisle seat... 🙃

I usually go on 12 hour flights to Hong Kong and I sit near the window I don’t need to pee most of the time and plus my family doesn’t mind me crawling over them
Me, with my strong bladder: oh yeah, eliminate them! Don’t pick them! Worst seats ever!
The seats in the front have a ton of leg room and none of that weird “excuse me” to use the bathroom. Those are my absolute favorite. Window seat preferred too
Yup! I go for those bulkhead seats that don't cost extra like the emergency exit row seats! The only downside is there is a **chance** you might be near a baby, as that's also where they have the attachments for babies. Buuuuut I've found this only happens a fraction of the time. So it's worth the risk, especially on longer flights where that extra leg room is crucial.
Plus, while I'm short, my partner is 6'2" so the extra leg room is extra crucial for him!
Yep, and I'm tall so it's nice to not have my knees touching the seat in front of me, or have people reclining onto my lap
Totally. You can lean towards the window for a nap!
The extra leg room on the front seat of my 13 hour flight to Seoul is the only reason I survived.
I was in window seat once and I could not sleep because I was cramped in their

Naa in a window seat you only have to move when you have to use the restroom but in another seat you have to move when you have to use to the restroom AND when the other person has to use the restroom. Therefore you spend less energy at a window seat so it’s better.
Also you get to look out the window whenever you feel like without anyone being between you and the window
Yea but your literally STUCK in a windows seat with NO room to move or wiggle whatsoever plus upon disembarking you gotta wait for the assholes next to ya to move, although you may or may not be late for a connection flight and need to get the hell out asap.
Isle seat FTW .....ESPECIALLY on a long haul 8+h trip 🤷🏼♀️
Trust me. I'm a pro in long hauls.....
For me, moving to get out of the way of someone else is way better than disturbing other people by asking them to get out of the way. Plus, I can’t sleep on planes, so there’s never the problem of someone wanting to go to the toilet but I’m in their way and asleep, so I think that me being in the aisle seat does people a service
I sometimes like to be in the middle just because I am chaotic like that.

@@pasareakiwi4169 you must be fun at parties
thats the only good seats, id happily pay a bit extra to sit there (depending on how long the flight is)
For short flights I agree, for long flights (+ 4 hours) I would go with 44J ⭐️ only during take of and landing you have the inconvenience of leaving your bag on the overhead compartment and have the TV hiding in the seat. But once you are on the air, you can take your bag and put in on the floor in front of you, having enough space to lift you feet on top of you bag, lean on the wall next to the the window, and sleep live a baby. And anytime you have to go to the bathroom or need to stand a little, you don’t need to bother anyone because you have enough space Thant you can just walk in front of the other people seating next to you. I’ve done this in a 11 hour flight and it was worth paying the reserved seat, best long flight I’ve had
I'm not flying if I don't get a window seat.. I'm willing to pay extra for a window seat
Lol same

Seats in front of the wing are SO MUCH QUIETER!
My chances of getting to sleep on a flight double if I'm in the front section. Even right over the wing is better than behind it.
I fly using Aeroplan points. I once had them ask where I would like to sit on the plane (first time they ever asked). I chose somewhere away from the engine for once. The day of my flight, as I'm waiting to board they call me up to the both. They had moved me back to the seat by the window one row back from the engine. Oof 😂 Never flown anywhere other than by the wing.
the last time i was on a plane i was right on the wing and i couldn’t sleep at all
You sleep on flights?
Yeah right. And also usually airlines block front part of economy for their loyalty members and high ticket class passenger so front part of economy is usually better and has more empty seats.
Front all the time. The noise is so much better.
I always have to have a window seat otherwise it’s going to be a bad flight for me. Having control of the blinds makes me feel like a god
I didn’t even know they had blinds.
@@Veronicz they do and you have to have them open for taxiway, takeoff and landing
This is the the flight attendant opinion, but in my opinion the 57 J seat is the best seat out there, because its the corner seat next to the window where you are in the back of the airplane, so nobody is sitting behind you and so, if you smell bad or make some farts you cant hold in. The dude behind you is not going to look with strange faces towards you, because there is no dude or woman behind you, so nobody needs to smell it.
This! I want to watch the clouds sometimes when I'm bored of the things I brought along. And it gives me something to fidgit with ig. Plus leaning against the wall if I get tired instead of an awkward slump or sleeping with my head on the tray;;;;
Unless you are on a dreamliner with elect blinds and the cabin staff take over and insist on closing them on day time flights, the spoil sports!
I refuse to sit anywhere but the Aisle seat for a few reasons.
1. My social Anxiety can not handle asking people to move let alone wake them up to ask them.
2.Easier for me to get out and get my carryon than it is for middle and window
3. For some reason I feel safer there.
(I have a fear of Flying
takeoff I get through okay and landing Is a bit worse for me since the plane goes sideways as well it can be a bumpy landing. The turbulence absolutely terrifies me. )
The back has highest rate of survival in a crash, you have plenty of time to grab your stuff, no one will bother you, you’re near the bathroom, and you’ll most likely have a row to yourself.
Are you sure about the survival rate? Usually the tail hit the ground first.
@@synewparadigm not always. The back seats have higher survival than the front however the highest survival is between the wings and just behind.
@@synewparadigm Not usually and even so it's one of the most structural parts of a plane. In a crash the tail often separates. However surprisingly this is a good thing as it stops much sooner than the rest of the plane leaving you away from pesky things like fire. And the horizontal and vertical stabilizers keep the entire cabin from rolling when it separates. Usually the last row of seats in the tail are all that's left and crashes.
Last part of the plane boards first, so plenty of storage, easy bathroom access and more open rows.
@@CallieMasters5000 for general boarding yes but not exactly first

But also love emergency seats so much leg room
It's necessary to have someone to annoy, it's a functional requirement
On long haul flights I prefer the seats backing against the galley kitchen - smelling food is better, no one kicking the back of your seat, reclining without worrying, extra storage behind, better interactions with the flight attendants.
Extra storage underneath?! 🤯
Behind the seat - between the back of the seat and the wall behind it.@@bearmotorcycle7305

If you’re taller than 5’8” (I’m over 6’) than having the seat in front of you smash against your knees for 6 hours is enough to make you never want to fly again. For that reason it’s emergency row or bust.

I always take the window seat. I love looking out of the window, it's the best part of flying. Also, I can't sleep when I'm not sitting on a window seat. In window seats you can put your head against the wall, in aisle seats you're trying to make yourself comfortable somehow and when you finally manage to one of the people next to you will have to get out. That or people passing by will wake you up. Window seat always wins.
Agreed!
THIS! I’m a bigger person and it’s so irritating getting an aisle seat or being smushed between two strangers. The aisle seat, if I don’t sit uncomfortably close to the person next to me, then people brush me as they walk by in the aisle. I like to sleep on flights and I hate wanting to sleep and getting woken up to move for someone to go to the bathroom then you gotta stay up to move for them to sit back down… Hate the middle seat cause I don’t like being smushed between two people, I feel super awkward. Window seat ftw. Can lean my body into it, also love the views & don’t have to move at all unless you personally need the bathroom. From a selfish standpoint, It feels better having others move for you than having to move for others when it comes to the bathrooms, but that’s why I make sure to use it before I get on flights and wait till I get on the flight for drinks. I do my eating before I board the flight
Not to be rude but you’re dumb for putting your head on the window because theres so much dirt left by humans on it
@@profoxster9254 I like to take a shower upon arriving anyway, it feels like there's dirt everywhere in the plane lol
And if possible I wear a hoodie or use these little pillows you get on long howl flights as some kind of barrier; but tbh I don't care that much about the dirt when I'm tired and need to sleep. It's not like I'm putting my face against it and I can shower afterwards anyway (still gives me more peace of mind if I have something in between me and the window).
Personally I prefer to be ahead of the wing when possible as it reduces the engine noise.
I relied on this video to book my 1st international flight alone. I just took a window seat because I prefer being against the wall to sleep in the plane, but other than that I followed every advice. Thank you Jeenie, my flight was perfect thanks to you 😊
Wow nice
True, also if you seat in front of the engine it's super noisy as you can hear it spin, but if you sit behind them you only hear the blast which is less noisy
@@sal_strazzulloI've mostly always sat in front of the engines and never noticed any loud noise. I'm usually very sensitive to loud noises so that's interesting
@@joel.ha. I don't know on Boeing planes, but on the a319 I've been seated very close to the engine and I could hear the distinguishable noise during takeoff and climb then it reduced intensity
How I calculate the best seats, viewing the wreckage of plane crashes the front end is usually obliterated, the tail end falls off for some unknown to me reason, but the wing section is always intact. Wing section for me.
economy is generally loud, but long flights directly next to the wings… worst experience ever. didnt help the 14+ hr flight had a screaming baby as well
Same window seat & middle for me.
@@stuartd9741 ua-cam.com/video/N4GiV8V7xDU/v-deo.html Mr. Ballen's vid on why not to choose a window seat
Hate to break it to you, but you’re directly over every fuel line in the aircraft haha. You’re the first to go in a fire. About 5-10 rows from the back is the GOAT (in terms of safety)
Agreed. Aircraft are strongest at the wing. Ask any Airframe mechanic.
She eliminated front rows solely because she isn't tall, which is perfectly fine for those folks. So for those of us on the taller side, the front rows are still the best options for leg room, higher likelihood of receiving the beverage/snack you want, and being one of the first to board/one of the first to leave.
Yeah if I get a choice im looking for either front row, sometimes there's subdividers in economy that work the same or emergency exits for the leg room. I'm not even that tall, I'm only 6'2" and my knees are usually wedged in the seat in front of me.
I once didn't book the last seats because of this video (you said they don't recline). The plane was changed, so I ended up getting the last row and it was the best thing ever!
I could actually recline the seat and no one was bothered by it! It was just great! And it was calm and quiet because no one was behind me. Additionally, I was close to the bathroom _(without the smell)_ and close to the cabin crew. I also had a window for myself and no one could take it away or be bothered by it! 🤩😁
Good to know. Have u picked many last seats?
@sebastianm.6875 Well... I only flew 4 times in my life, so... no 😅. Maybe I just got lucky this time 😇.

Jeenie: **eliminates window seats**
Me: **shocked Pikachu face**
For all of my tall people: I’m 6’3” and always go for the front seats. When you sit there for the first time it’s like your legs finally get to know the sweet taste of freedom. No more having to shove your legs to the side and your back hurting because you can’t sit straight, because your legs literally physically don’t fit. My tall people know what I’m talking about.

I go to the bathroom more on the air for some reason so I'd prefer the aisle. Love it when it's just me and my wife and a spare seat though so I can get the window seat and sleep resting on the window and I don't have to feel bad going to the bathroom.

I like how you explained your thinking. If I fly by myself, I def want the window seat. I like to be able to see out/shut out the rest of the plane. It feels like more room. It’s perfect for me. If I’m with my husband he’s over 6’ so he’d like as much leg room as possible.
I asked to change seats before my flight cause I was in a non reclining seat and got put in the back and luckily got a whole row to myself! It was a 14 hour flight so I was super grateful for the room to relax and spread my stuff out.
Also the flight is significantly louder if you sit at or behind the wings where the engines are. Getting a seat in front of the engines drastically reduces how loud the flight is
Agreed
Hmm, maybe why I can't sleep on flights.
Always pick centre of the plane usually at the back of the engines...as I like to look out of the window...
Not such a noticeable difference ( hopefully, otherwise people wld complain too much ).
So where is the engine ?
Aisle seats being the best? Hardly. Between having to get up every time one of the two other people have to use the bathroom and getting accidentally elbowed by everyone passing by, I’ll take a window seat. Every. Time.
maybe it’s just my anxiety but I’d way rather have to get up for someone else than feel like I’m bothering by asking them to get up when I wanna go to the washroom lol. that being said, i love staring out the window on airplanes too …..
Do you feel bothered when someone asks you to get up? No. So you shouldn't worry if you're the one asking. Everyone's human and has needs, no need to feel ashamed.
@@rodolfo_rlf In the grand scheme of things, no. My personal preference, however, is to not put myself in that situation. I want to sleep through any flight I’m on, and getting woken up sucks.
Fr!! Everybody going through the aisle just slaps ur arm and it gets so annoying
"Seats near the bathroom stink like shit..." On my flight I was seated right in front of the bathroom! It did not stink like shit. I loved it actually! I could recline without disturbing others and was close to the free goodies in the kitchen and there was a little spot behind my seat for me to stand.
But I LOVE the middle seat. It helps with my claustrophobia, because the outside seat makes me feel like I have to be on the inside of my seat, and like the walk path is like a wall. The inside seat for obvious reasons is bad for claustrophobia. Middle seat just makes me feel like I’m tucked in neatly, I’m perfectly in the middle of my seat, doing my own thing, I have a view of the outside, and I don’t have to worry about the walkway.
I hope next time I get stuck in a middle seat, I'm next to you so we can switch! :)
You are like the only person evet. You'll always get your choice of seat because no one else wants it
My flight India Russia was like, sitting in the back near the toilet, people were using my seat to keep standing, on my right a grandma who wanted to go toilet every 10 minutes, and by the end of the flight she finally dropped her coffee over my clothes and stuff. Shit.
Why the fuck did she have her coffee with her to go to the bathroom
@@wrenwhite8402 where the fuck does it say the bathroom going and the coffee had anything to do with each other?
Reading comprehension- try it. It’s a great thing.
@@ambitiously_ Not being a dick is free.... try it sometime.
@@ambitiously_ you normally don't spill stuff when sitting still
No need to be a dick
@@ambitiously_ you're the kind of people that never get asked to hang out and wonder why
I was on a plane once where the entire back 4 rows were empty and only my family were aware of it. Each member took a row and it was the best flight ever 😂
This is pretty common if a flight isn’t sold out. People prefer to move to the front so the back empties out and you’re more likely to get a row with and empty seat or a whole empty row to yourself
@@adorabell4253 so it's better to book a seat at the back then? Just so if there are rows free you can take it
As a child a loved window seats. Now they’re only slightly better than middle seats. Aisle seats are the best. Easy escape, easy access.
Her: Complicated calculations for the best experience
Me: WINDOW
Hey, I'm 6'5 and I've often been offered a move to an exit row by the ticket checker or the flight attendant. I really appreciate it, thank you!
My brother and usual travel companion is 6'6, so I often sit with him in those rows. Since I'm always very polite to the staff, I always find somewhere nearby to stash my belongings too 👍🏼
@@blackeyedsusan727 lmao that makes sense. I am 6'3 and the emergency window seats are the only ones us tall people can survive on
Can't recommend the aisle seats when flying Lufthansa. The flight attendants seem to be trained to bump into every single seat whenever they pass. Also, once the flight attendant decided to tinker with the seat of the person next to me while he's single handedly balancing the tray with different beverages over my head. Guess what happened.
On yet another occasion, the flight attendant forcefully stacked all the plastic cups, but someone didn't finish their drink so I got another shower.
Owww
OOF
How often do you fly though?
I'm sry but that's really funny while also being 😖
I love window seats, I don’t have to use the bathroom often and love being able to fully curl up into a ball and hang out smushed against the wall like I’m hidden. It’s the vibe.
I never recline because I’m too scared to inconvenience the person behind me
Don’t live like that. Everyone reclines they probably done notice the 2 inches of recline those economy seats go anyways
The five fused vertebrae in my neck say I have to recline. If they don't like it, they can pay extra for an exit row seat.
Thank you thank you for your considerate nature! Blessings upon your house!
You are a good person
It's alright to recline. What I cannot take are the inconsiderate b a s t a r d s who recline their seats at nearly 180 degrees like a chair at the dentist's clinic, making the whole row behind them tilt like dominoes. Everybody nearly pays for the same economy class fee, if they want to max out their comfort they better be the ones to pay for that first class pod.
i used to prefer the isle seat too, but now that i sleep for literally the entire flight, i always pick window so i can rest my head on the side and no one will wake me up to go to the toilet
The front seats are always the best. After landing, you get through passport control much quicker than anyone else.
But the middle seat saved your life because the person in the window seat, and the outside seat is your protection
I love the window seat. I just want to stare at the landscape and pretend no one else exists. But when I travel with my son, I let him have the window and I take the middle seat so no one else has to suffer with no access to anything and no arm rests. I still get a pretty decent view of the scenery.
Fun fact: you have to be of not kicking and crying age to sit in the emergency rows so you can avoid kids by sitting in the row in front of the emergency row.
Window seats are overrated changed my mind
Aisle seats are where it’s at
Idk man. I kind of like using my pillow and resting my head on the wall/window
@@xYOSIYAx yeah and who could forget the clouds! Also if I am flying with family it doesn’t matter about asking a stranger if they could move so I could go to the bathroom
@@BibidyIsDignate exactly!
Ever fallen asleep on an isle seat? I did. Head in my hand, my arm bent leaning on the arm rest. The amount of times someone walked past and knocked my arm out from under me, abruptly waking to my head jerking towards the floor...not fun.
I'm not much of a plane passenger, but from my experience in bus, the window seat leaves you less room for the window-side arm, as the wall is too close, therefore I prefer the isle seat as it's more comfortable
But one small flaw that makes the middle seat the best way to survive an airplane crash. Whenever it crashes. The middle seat is getting shielded by the front side and back. Meaning you have a higher chance of survival in airplanes despite being the worst seat
the "they fill up front first" certainly doesn't work for Etihad: on a round trip germany-Abu Dhabi-Tokyo they filled up 90% of the back 1/3 of the plane, while the middle was only occupied for about 20%...for all 4 flights. So I just went to the stewardess and asked whether I could go to the front. Easy bed/3 seats secured
Honestly the best seat for me is the front row window seat because you get leg room and you get to look out the window, also you don’t have to ask anyone to move so you can go to the bathroom
You usually have to pay extra for those seats...
Truth but those seats are also most likely to have babies cuz they fit the bassinets there ...
but if you sit in a row with two of your friends then you can sit at the window because you will be more comfortable telling them to move their asses so you can use the bathroom
I mean sitting with friends...everyone can switch at any point. That doesn't count. Lol
I think window seats are much better. Short flights with nice scenery give you good views. And while it is awkward to ask someone to get up so you can use the bathroom, the upside is that no one will ever ask you to move from a window seat so you can be uninterrupted in either sleep or movies as long as you want
Me who asks a stranger to swap seats with me so I get the window seat:
Wow brave
@@ibtisammmm I am more brave. I say "no". :)
Wth lmao
@@ibtisammmm ik but it takes me like really long to even say "excuse me" because I'm too nervous lol but by then the plane's already halfway to its destination xD
it's worst when you want the window but your sibling takes it- and your parent has to sit in the middle so you don't fight, so you end up with the aisle seat-
I like sitting by the wings and getting cool pictures. Also as a student pilot I love seeing the control surfaces move around.
Middle seats is the loved ones seat. Where you only want it if you're traveling with someone you dont mind being smooshed with (and to keep you away from a stranger in the remaining seat)
I would rather deal with the astronomically minuscule chance of death to have the ability to get off the plane faster rather than dealing with having to wait until everyone else gets off the plane to get off the plane.
Let’s be honest, if that plane goes down you most likely won’t have to worry about getting off of it. 😵
@@PinePrince Do you realize how tiny of an if that is?
@@haidynwendlandt2479 I was joking 🙃
@@PinePrince Don't worry I'm just super invested in challenging the back of plane narrative
Especially on international flights. Damn i hate those long queues on arrival customs..
as a tall person i basically need the emergency exit row seats to be somewhat comfortable. i almost physically do not fit in the normal rows, my knees press very hard into the seat in front of me. any flight over 2-3 hours is brutal
how tall are you?
@@nickjackson2701anywhere from 185 cm depending on the airline. I'm 195 and surprisingly Wizz Air is a blessing for me since their seats don't recline and nobody can squash me.
@@nickjackson2701he probably 6'5 or higher
@@nickjackson2701 tall
I would pick something closer to the front because its less bumpy... and while I usually don't have a preference between isle and window seats, this plane has 2 isles which means its a really long flight (probably overnight) and having the wall/window to lean up against is far superior than any isle seat!
As a person who is scared of flying and wont go anywhere on my own i like the middle seat, it actually comforts me being in-between two people
My method: what is the closest to the door that I can afford.
This is priceless I love how you’ve taken your life experience and made it so practical for everyone else and freaking funny you’re awesome jenniet
Me, being 6'3": I'm gonna stick to bulkhead or exit row 👀
Have you ever tried business or first class? I'm not here to mock or boast, but sometimes I get booted to first class cause they overbook a flight and I volunteer to wait for another one. You have not lived until you've rested your ass on a first class seat and then have it tilt back onto a full recline. 😩😩😩
@@scottwpilgrim Yeah my work flies me in business for international flights. Domestic is still economy, though. Sometimes I'll upgrade myself if it's a longer flight with points if there's no free upgrades. But if its under 2.5 hrs, I just don't see it being worth it.
Respect not having to ask to get up, but 1. I want to control whether or not there’s sunlight directly in my face. 2. I don’t want to have to be asked to get up so others can move.
