How to Choose a Good Seat on an Airplane
Where should you sit on an airplane if you're prone to motion sickness? If you have a connecting flight? If you're traveling with kids? Ask an airline agent about reserving the right seat for you.
Instructions
STEP 1: Request bulkhead seats'those behind the dividing walls of a plane'or a seat by one of the emergency exits if you want more leg room.
STEP 2: Choose an aisle seat for easier access to the overhead storage compartment and lavatories, as well as for faster disembarking.
STEP 3: Consider sitting near the lavatories if you are traveling with children.
STEP 4: Opt for the back of the plane if you want to sprawl out; there are usually fewer people in the back.
STEP 5: Sit toward the front if you want to get off the plane faster, which could be important if you're trying to make a tight connection. The front of the plane also tends to be a quieter ride.
STEP 6: Choose a seat toward the wings, which are the stability point for the plane, if motion sickness is a potential problem.
STEP 7: Sit near the galleys if you want early snack, beverage or meal service.
