Travel News - 'Perfect' flight seat pinpointed

A new survey has suggested exactly where passengers would prefer to sit on an aircraft if given a free choice.

Seat 6A.

One has to wonder if Hannah Pini, the writer of this piece (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/travelnews/9223155/Perfect--flight-seat-pinpointed.html), or for that matter the "experts" of Skyscanner who carried out this survey, have ever flown, after concluding "the most sought-after spot on a standard aeroplane is seat 6A."

After reading even a few of those FT airline-specific seating threads, I'll dare even to call their conclusion of window over aisle into question. ;)

Of course, in regard to those previous studies cited in the article suggesting the front six rows are the most popular for ease of getting off the plane, reduced engine noise and a better selection of food, all I can add is...

What would we do without experts? ;)

What would we do without experts? ;)We'd be so lost! Without reading expert-commentary, I never ever would've realized that the closer you are to the door, the easier it will be to get to it when it comes time to get off the plane.

How does one become an "expert" in these things?

What is the definition of "standard" airplane?

Well... the picture shows interior of Ryanair 737, since this is the only type they have in their fleet, it's very standard ;)

Also 6A seat is a safe choice, while other letters vary from plane to plane, A is always a window seat, and most airliners have 6th row.

I would say it's a pretty good pick. :p

You have to study doors and get a PhD in doorology. Only then you can call yourself an "expert" :cool:

Yeah but on lots of planes it's not even in First Class!

More stupid useless journalism imho.

Mark Twain said "an expert is somebody from out of town."
