The Best Seat in a Plane
The battle
for the best seat on a plane is one airlines seem to find ever more
inventive ways of monetising.
But flight
comparison website Skyscanner
today claimed to have identified the perfect place to perch.
The site surveyed
more than 1,000 airline passengers on their seat preferences – the
study did not consider the extra legroom factor – looking at which
section of the aircraft they chose, and whether they sat in the
middle, aisle or window.
And the verdict
is in – seat 6A.
Previous research
has found that passengers prefer the front six rows of the plane,
while 60 per cent of people favour a window seat, 40 per cent opt
for the aisle and just one per cent the middle.
The survey
also found that 31E, a middle seat located near the back of the
plane, was the one most wanted to avoid.
Skyscanner
travel editor Sam Baldwin explained the reasons for the results.
