Have you ever pondered what the optimal seat on an airplane is? The next time you’re booking a flight, check if seat 6A is available. According to a recent poll reported by ABC News, this seat is considered the best on the plane. The findings are based on a survey conducted by Skyscanner, which gathered responses from 1000 passengers.
Although the survey didn’t consider extra leg-room, it did ask travelers about their preferred section of the plane and whether they favored a window or aisle seat. Only 7% of respondents preferred the backseat, while 46% opted for the first six rows of the aircraft.
Among the participants, 60% preferred a window seat with a view, compared to the 40% who chose an aisle seat. Unsurprisingly, less than 1% favored the middle seat over a window or aisle seat.
As for the least desirable seat on the plane? Seat 31E is the most undesirable, as it is a middle seat towards the back of the plane, often located right next to the toilets.
