Every aircraft is different. There is no standard place that you should try to sit on the different types of aircraft, although, there are some things to take into account.
Sitting near the Lavatories Sitting near lavatories on flights can be bothersome, especially on long haul flights. The noise can be annoying, and sometimes the smell can not be the nicest. If there is a queue, it can also not be the best having people stand next to you for longer periods of time. If you're looking for peace and quiet, try and select a seat in the middle of the cabin. Service is often provided faster at these seats though. Exit Row seats Although they can give you a lot of extra leg room compared to other seats, exit row seats can sometimes be in a draft. So just be aware of that when parting with the extra cash to reserve those seats. Near the Galleys Sitting near the galleys can sometimes be bothersome, there is a lot of movement from the crew going back and forth all the time, so be prepared that there will be a lot of hustle and bustle. Window Seats If you reserve what you think is a window seat, you want to make sure that it actually has a window. There are the occasional places on the aircraft that have the windows blanked out for one reason or another. This is not helpful, if you are expecting to see the scenery or film the flight. To answer the question it is really up to your personal choice. Many People prefer different areas of the aircraft. Make sure you take a look at the seat map before reserving your seat and take into account the points mentioned above. You can always check Seat Guru for further advice for the particular type of aircraft you're scheduled to fly on. We don't all get to spend time in the airport lounge before flights, but the one thing that we all have to do is pass through security. Below you will find some tips of what you can do to reduce your time at the scanners!
Prepare before you head to the Airport! - You might be thinking, 'isn't that obvious?' - It astonishes me how so many people are unprepared for the security checks. - You will not be permitted to take liquids greater than 100ml through security, (a few exceptions apply when it comes to medication and baby food. Check airport guidance before travelling) and they must all fit in a 20cm by 20cm clear, resealable bag which may be available at the airport. So make sure that when you are packing; anything that you want to take with you that is over 100ml goes into the hold bag, and that you aren't taking too much in the hand luggage. - Make sure your liquids are easily accessible and not at the bottom of the hand luggage; You'd want to be able to get these out quickly. Fishing around for your bag will hold you, and the other passengers behind you up. - Make sure all electronic devices are easily accessible in your bag so that they can be pulled out quickly when required. Most of these are required to be screened separately to the bag. Also ensure that these are charged. If they are not, they may not be allowed on board. - Ensure that your pockets are empty. You don't want the loose change to be holding you back! As a general rule, if you don't need it immediately, place it in your bag. - Don't be taking any sharp items with you. This will ensure that your bag goes through manual screening. They are likely to be confiscated and not returned! - If you are unsure of anything, check the advice which every airport provides on their websites. Every airport is different, just as every seat may be different between carriers - it's always good to be that bit more prepared! |
