When picking out a plane seat, most people are just focused on getting either the window or the aisle seat. However, choosing the part of the plane where you’ll be seated is equally important.
Next time you are booking a flight and picking out the seat, make sure you select one at the back of the plane. Here is why.
More Peaceful
There are fewer people sitting behind you, so it will likely be more peaceful than the middle or front of the plane.
Better Chance for Reclining Your Seat
If you pick the very last row, you will be able to recline your seat a bit without actually disturbing someone. This will make the flight more comfortable and maybe even allow you to get some sleep.
Quick to Board and Get Off
Nowadays, most planes have two entry and exit points, one at the front and the other at the back. Having a back seat will ensure you arrive at your seat quickly and get off even faster once the plane lands.
You Might Get Some Freebies
Passengers at the back of the plane have more chance of getting some freebies from the cabin crew. This is because cabin crew can slip them eye masks or an extra drink without other people noticing and then asking for the same.
Better Chance of Surviving the Crash
Nobody wants to think about their plane crashing. But in the off chance this happens, the passengers at the back have a 40% higher chance of surviving than those in the middle of the front.
