How Can I Get a Best Seat on the Plane?

What does a best seat mean to you? I don’t think the best seat must be a safe one, because there is no absolute safe seat in a plane crash. One survey said if you are seated in the rear of an aircraft may have more chance of survival during a plane crash. Then another survey said it’s the safest to sit near the front of the plane within five rows of an emergency exit.

The middle seat is dis commodious. Rows near flight attendant areas and restrooms may be noisier and more traffic, and seats very close to cabin movie screens may be too bright if you are trying to sleep. There are all the seats we think are generally undesirable.

If you want a convenient seat for your short business trip, an aisle seat near the front of the plane is the best choice. If you must fly overnight, a window seat can offer a good place to rest your head. If you want more leg room, you can ask for a row seats or bulkhead seats (seats directly behind the physical barriers, such as walls, curtains or screens), But:

1) Ordered by federal law, a child under 15 may not sit in an exit row, and infants may not permitted in the rows immediately behind or in front of an exit row either.2) There are no seats in front of bulkhead seats. But be careful: Not all “bulkhead” rows are created equal. On some planes, the first bulkhead row may be cramped and uncomfortable.

Okay, here is my tips for how to Get a Better Seat

1. Know what you want. If you know exactly what seat is the the best for your trip, it can be easier to get it. Instead of asking for “a good seat,” try asking for “12c”.2. Join a frequent flier program. Providing your frequent flier number at check-in desk, if you are a loyal, high-ranking member, you will get what you want.3. Consider purchasing a better seat. Several airlines now offer economy-class seats with extra legroom for an additional fee about $10 – $20, Or with an annual fee, You can get more inches of seat if you pay for that.4. Select your seat when you book. Most airline Web sites and major booking engines allow you to choose a seat when you purchase your ticket. In most cases this process is free.5. Check in online 24 hours before. Most airlines allow passengers to check in online 24 hours before their flight departs. At that point you can confirm the seat you’ve already chosen or even choose a better one.6. Ask for upgrade. Once you reach your check-in desk, ask whether you can upgrade to business class or a better seat, you may lucky enough to get a good chance.

BTW: I always ask an aisle seat in the exit row near the front of the plane when I check in, and you?
