Why No One Should Swap Seats on a Plane

  • You probably aren’t the only one looking to pull the ol’ switcharoo. Even if just a few passengers do it, they could throw the plane off balance! And since most aircraft are incredibly sensitive to changes in their center of gravity, it can lead to dramatic consequences.
    During takeoff, pilots must know the distribution of weight on the plane to make exact calculations. If these calculations are off even the slightest, there are chances that the aircraft can crash while leaving the ground. So before nestling in a more comfortable or spacious spot, ask a cabin crew member if you're allowed to do so.

    SUMMARY:
    - If the calculations are off even the slightest, there are chances that the aircraft can crash while leaving the ground.
    - By the way, if the airport staff load baggage incorrectly, for example, in the rear compartment instead of the front one, it can also mess with the plane's balance.
    - Always secure your tray table as soon as the plane starts moving on the tarmac, and never lower it during takeoff and landing.
    - Like a lowered tray table, a reclined seat can seriously slow down an evacuation since it’ll block the person sitting behind you.
    - If you’re on a larger aircraft, you have higher chances of surviving a possible accident.
    - Remember that sitting near an emergency exit means not only more leg room but also more responsibility. That's why only able-bodied adults can occupy such seats.
    - Follow cabin crew instructions to open window shades during takeoff and landing. This way, flight attendants can see what's happening outside.
    - Fly non-stop without connections if you can. An overwhelming majority of plane crashes happen during the first 3 and last 8 minutes of the flight.
    - Wearing proper clothing will reduce your risks during air travel. Try to wear clothes made of natural fibers such as wool, cotton, leather, and denim.
    - Prepare a "run kit" and make sure it's with you at all times. Such a kit should contain your passport, wallet, cell phone, credit cards and cash, any necessary medications, and a list of emergency contacts.
    - Don't stuff heavy objects into overhead lockers. They can fall out during severe turbulence and injure you or other passengers.
    - If you see some suspicious activity or strange-looking packages, immediately inform the cabin crew.
    - It might be a waste of time to look for the safest seat on the plane because it probably doesn’t exist.

    Yes, you shouldn't swap seats without asking cabin crew. But it does not mean the aircraft will have balance issues, a long as you move forward and back and stay in the same side of the aircraft, pilots won't have a problem correcting the balance by trimming the aircraft. (Trim is basically what elevator attitude the plane has, if it is trimmed positively the plane will have an easier time taking off, so if the weight changes in the cabin all that pilots will do is from the aircraft.)

    I'm an aerospace engineer, and trust me that doesn't matter at all, because there are autopilots that accomodate such changes in aerodynamic centre. Feel free to change seats and move around. It won't be a very big problem until and unless all passengers start running around edges of the aircraft. It will be sudden and confuse the autopilot🚀✨

    you can swap seats in an aircraft if it is a widebody if it is a commuter jet then you must remain in your seats for weight and balance purposes, the pilots only do their own weight and balance in small commuter jets the big aircrafts are usually done by a load planner at the airlines dispatch center.

    Ever hear of a singer named Jane Froman? Her story was immortalized in a Susan Hayward movie from the mid-20th century. She was on a flight and changed seats with another passenger without telling anyone. While that didn't cause the crash, the passenger she switched with died and she survived, but required several surgeries to save an injured leg. Switching seats without telling the crew can, in case of an accident, delay identification of passengers who are injured or killed.

  • @johnlegere1456

    The FAA accounts for 180 lbs per seat and it is calculated into the weight and balance of the aircraft. That’s why they don’t weigh passengers. Moving seats in an airliner will NOT cause an imbalance great enough to cause any issue. If your in a small plane 4 to 6 seats it is more critical.

    Seat changes are usually only risky if you move more than several rows, and depends a lot on how heavy the aircraft is. On a small aircraft like a 15 seat seaplane, you'll often be asked to change seats to get a better balance. On larger aircraft with a high payload, an individual seat change is rarely enough to tip the balance off (partly because everything is planned to keep the CoG around the center so there's more room for inaccuracies.)
    Also, the whole thing is more important during take off and landing than at other points. Flight attendants will often let you change freely after take off if you want.

And on Southwest, if you fly a longer distance with one or two stops, people get off and there's do determining where the remaining people are sitting as the flight continues to its next destination. Likewise the flight attendants always tell you after you land at an intermediate stop that you can change your seat location after they do a headcount. Sometimes they will ask a few people to move to the back, but that's about it.

    3: wait until the pilot says you can take off your seatbelt
    4: ask a flight attendance to go to the bathroom
    5: Don't panic during a crash because it will make it worse
    6: don't scream because it will make the pilot nervous and crash

    Hey Y'all, Aerospace Engineer here. While it is true that moving around in a plane cabin shifts its CG, passenger planes are designed to accommodate for a large variety of seating arrangements. Where the primary concern is is with passengers moving to the fore or aft of the plane since this can cause a much larger shift in CG than moving left or right. In most scenarios where it is "first come first serve" seating in an aircraft, you don't need to worry about where you sit. 😉

    I don't think switching seats will bring the plane in inbalance. When you book a flight and check-in nobody will ask for your weight. So it has nothing to do with your weight.
    The reason why you have to ask and have to wait until after takeoff before you can change your seat, is because the airline has linked, after check-in, every passenger to a seat number. And because most plane accidents happen during takeoff and landing, you are expected to sit in the seat associated with your name during takeoff and landing. It is very useful for identification in the event of a plane crash.
    I change seats quite often on an airplane, especially when I'm traveling alone. Would rather sit alone than between two strangers. And a flight attendant once told me the above about why you can sit somewhere else between takeoff and landing.

    If changing seats could cause a plane to crash, it would be illegal to do it. Flight attendants would have people detained and escorted off the plane for risking people's lives. The reason they frown on it is because seats are assigned to a particular ticket holder who is identified by name. There is a passenger manifest that lists each occupant of the plane and in which seat each occupant can be found. If for some reason a specific person needs to located, crew doesn't want to have to go searching seat by seat. (Think if people are sleeping and don't hear PA announcement for a name.)

    Oh dear, definitely calling bs on that one. It's not logical unless they weigh every single passenger, or demand to know your weight when booking! And what about the flights where you can choose your own seat while booking? Yeah, this isn't logical. They like you to be in your assigned seat during takeoff and landing so that it's easier to identify the bodies if there is an accident. The bit about accidents being more likely to happen on takeoff and landing is true.

      It’s just the difference between an empty seat or an occupied seat. The loading is done whether or not the seat is occupied and is calculated on an average of like 75kg.
      If the seat is occupied and that seat will likely have 10kg of luggage nearby under the seat in front or overhead locker.

The plane only had 2 seats on each side and there were 4 of us so each of my parents were on different sides and me and my brother would sometimes switch so we could both be next to our mom and dad. I sure do wish I could be on a plane again though, but I do remember being on that one even though I was very young. I definitely won't be on a plane anytime soon though.
