The following seats are considered to be the most comfortable:
- the front row – you get more leg room
- the first half of the cabin – you get your food and drink quicker, you can take your seat and leave the plane quicker
- at emergency exits – you get more leg room
- window seats – you can put a pillow up against the window to get some sleep
- aisle seats – you don’t have to ask other passengers to get up in order to visit the restroom.
Middle seats aren’t as comfortable, but they’re bearable if the flight is short.
