Best Seat on the Plane? 6-A

And the best seat on a plane is... 6A!

- New study has found best, worst seats on a plane
- We've included a handy list of the REAL best, worst seats on a plane


Flying is -- how can we say this? -- a very personal experience. Or, at least, as personal as one can get while rocketing through the sky while stuffed in a metal tube with dozens of other people, many of whom are sweaty.

A new study, however, claims to have found the best seat on the plane, that one seat that combines maximum comfort with convenience, and lessens the possibility of a stress-induced mid-flight mental breakdown.

That seat is 6A.

Skyscanner, a flight comparison website, asked 1000 people about their air travel preferences and combined the results to find that one seat that's just right. According to the study, 45% of people prefer the first few rows of seats -- a no-brainer, since those lucky few get to board and de-plane first.

Surprisingly, people also seem to prefer a window seat, like our lucky 6A. Of those polled, 60% liked a perch with a view, as opposed to 40% who preferred the aisle. To the less-than 1% of folks who said they like the middle seat: There may be something wrong with you.

So what's the worst seat in the house? 31E, according to the study, a middle seat near the back of the plane which gives you no easy bathroom access, no easy sleep, and a long wait for food and drinks. Happy travels, 31E!

Of course, anyone who experiences the joy of regular air travel knows where the REAL best and worst seats are. Try to dampen your stress triggers, frequent flyers, and peruse our list (we've excluded the typical crying baby scenario, because every seat on a plane next to a crying baby is a bad one).
