I fly economy about once a week. Here are the best seats to book on a plane, and rows I always avoid.
As a frequent flyer, I think economy aisles and exit rows have some of the best seats on a plane, and I avoid sitting near a bathroom or galley.
When I'm flying economy, I carefully select my seats based on comfort and convenience. My preference is for an aisle seat in an exit row or behind a bulkhead, which provides extra legroom. I try to avoid seating near bathrooms or galleys, as these areas tend to be crowded and noisy. If my airline has two exit rows, I opt for the one closer to the back of the plane, as it's less likely to be reclined into by other passengers.
Bulkhead seats, which are located directly behind a wall or curtain, also offer additional legroom. However, they come with the responsibility of being prepared to assist other passengers in an emergency. For connecting flights, I select an aisle seat near the front of the plane, as it allows me to catch my next flight with minimal delay.
When traveling with a companion, I book two aisle seats facing each other, which allows us to sit together while still having some personal space. I avoid sitting near bathrooms and galleys, as these areas can be noisy, crowded, and disruptive.
