I am a fan of George Clooney’s movie “Up in The Air”. It would not be wrong if I say that I used to live in airports like him.. Now that you’ve flown so much, you start to specialize in airports and planes.. How long to wait at which airport, which type of aircraft is more comfortable, etc…
One of the most difficult situations in these journeys is the seat you will fly to.. I would usually arrive at the airport early and try to reserve an aisle seat, if possible, during the emergency exit on the plane.. However, naturally, there is a lot of demand for this seat with a longer leg width, and you may not always find an empty seat in this order.. At this point, when you can’t find a seat, which seat should you choose, and which should you avoid? Here I found a very interesting research that answers all these questions.. I share this research with you.

Seat Selection on the Plane
You like to travel, you enjoy traveling by plane, but do you know how to choose the most ideal seat on the plane?
Smart travel search engine KAYAK.com.tr in collaboration with Dan Air, cabin attendant and author of Confessions of a Trolley Dolly , researched which seats were the best in the most used aircraft types, the Airbus A320 and the Boeing 777′.
According to this, 1A is the best seat in Airbus A320s, which are in the fleets of companies such as Turkish Airlines, AtlasGlobal and Pegasus and are generally used for short-haul flights.. Because 1A is wider than other seats and the window side. In addition, the hosts and stewardesses give the first treat to the passengers sitting here.. However, there is one thing that those who prefer this seat should pay attention to: 1A is right behind the door and it’s cold! However, the selected places in the front of the aircraft are relatively quieter than the rear parts.
If you are going to fly in an Airbus A320 type aircraft, Be careful not to sit in the numbered row seats. Since these lines coincide with the top of the wing, it is very noisy.
(Note: Aircraft configurations in THY may differ from KAYAK’s research.. That’s why you can check whether your seat is good at www.seatguru.com specifically for THY)
Where are the Widest and Worst Places on an Airplane?
In Boeing 777 type aircrafts used by many companies such as Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, Emirates, 16. and 32. it is useful to prefer rows. Both the first refreshments on the plane are served to those sitting in these seats, and the distance between the front seat and the front seat is wide, allowing a comfortable journey.
Least preferred in Boeing 777s, the last 44. and 45. rows. The most common complaints of those sitting in the seats here are; Being narrow and not fully reclining, as well as being close to the toilet and the section where food and beverage service is prepared, can cause problems in terms of noise and density.
(Note: The configuration of Boeing 777s in THY is also different from the one stated here.
Seat Configuration of Boeing 777-300 Aircraft of THY is as follows)
On the other hand, if you want to be protected from similar configuration risks in other airlines, before flying, you should fill in your airline company’s name, flight number and You can check the best and worst seats of the plane you will board with this link.. However, THY’s Boeing 777 aircraft configurations are not up-to-date on this site either.. You can refer to the configuration above for these aircraft, which are frequently used especially on Istanbul Los Angeles flights.)
