Have you ever wondered if you're sitting in the most sought after seat on the plane? Yeah! I know, it's a thing. People actually have preferred seats on flights and we got ahold of a survey that should just about answer most, if not all.
These are the literal hot seats. While the best airline seats may seem obvious, seating preference often depends on the passenger. To determine the preferred sky thrones, our experts surveyed 3,142 U.S. travelers for a week from June 14 to June 20. They showed respondents a Boeing 737-800 seat map and had them select their most sought-after seat location.
The survey revealed that seat 1A, a first-class bulkhead window seat, was the top choice among participants. This was perhaps unsurprising given that this spot offers “ample legroom, easy restroom access, a window view and the perk of being one of the first on and off the plane. Following close behind were 7A and 7F respectively as these coach class seats offer plenty of legroom as well.
