...or on the plane for that matter, is the one chosen wisely.
Much has been written about finding the cheapest seat on a flight, but what seat is right for you? In addition to being satisfied with the amount you spend on a flight you should want to make sure you're equally satisfied, if not more so, with the seat itself. After all, your comfort will make the biggest difference in attitude once you land at your destination.
Many travelers prefer a window seat because of the view. Just remember though, if you have a long flight with much of it after dark you may opt for a different seat. However, day or night, if you are the traveler that sleeps during most of the flight then a window seat is perfect for you. You will be uninterrupted by your neighbors stepping over you to go to the restroom. AND you can use the wall of the cabin to lie your head against as you sleep.
Sitting in the rear of the plane is attractive to travelers who like to board first (after first class & VIP) and make sure they aren't climbed over as others board. There is also more of a chance there is room to store your bags overhead if a flight is crowded. But if you're not carrying multiple bags, or in case you have limited time to catch a connecting flight, you may consider up front seating. These are the first to de-plane at the end of the flight. Also, food service usually begins in the front, meaning you're more likely to get your choice of meal on crowded flights.
Remember, all aircraft are not created equally, even within the same airline. If you're able to select a seat ahead of time you can go to seatguru.com and input your flight details and get an exact layout of the plane you're flying on. It provides color coded seat maps and tells you what to avoid.
Happy travels!
