Seating

I recently flew Alaska Airlines’ new 787 Suite Class on a trip to London and was genuinely excited to try the product. Unfortunately, the seat turned out to be the most uncomfortable lie-flat seat I’ve ever experienced. For reference, I’m 5'8" / 135 lbs, so I wouldn’t consider...

I was excited to secure Saver Award seats, but the seat selection charges have been a major disappointment. Qatar Airways is asking $103 just to choose a business class seat, and that's for each flight segment, not the entire journey. At first, I thought I could skip paying the...

I am flying Air India flight AI 2115 from Delhi to Singapore and I am trying to decide whether a seat at the back of the aircraft is a good option. I am quite tall at 6’4, so legroom is very important for me. I understand that extra legroom seats are usually better, but as a...

Hey everyone, I’m flying on EY62 from London Heathrow to Abu Dhabi on an Etihad A380 and I was hoping to get some advice on seat selection. I’ve attached the seat map screenshots and wanted to ask which seat would be the best option in the economy cabin based on the layout...

My family of four (two adults, one child, and an infant) booked an overnight transatlantic flight and then attempted to reserve seats. We were interested in the bassinet row and understood there would be an extra charge, so we were prepared to pay for it. However, the pricing...

Our family of four is flying on a one-stop journey and we want to sit together. I’m trying to figure out which seats form the Quad Suite on Qatar Airways A350 aircraft. Both flights are on A350s, and on the first segment there are also seats available in rows 1 and 2. Which seat...

I saw a discussion shared from the United Airlines subreddit about a potential new economy seating product. It suggests that United may be working on a configuration where the middle seat in economy is permanently blocked. The idea would reportedly debut on aircraft like the...

I am a Southwest Priority credit card holder with a Companion Pass. My flight is at the end of June, and I was checking seat upgrade options. I noticed something strange: the upgrade cost for my companion is lower than mine. For example, seat 1E shows $55 for me, but only $40...

I have an upcoming flight from Doha to Chicago on a Qatar Airways A350-1000 and managed to select seat 31A using oneworld status. The seat looks like a good option overall, but I want to understand any potential drawbacks. I am aware it may be narrower than standard seats, and I...

I have never seen anything like this before. My assigned seat had a structural pillar that removed most of the legroom and left no space for my bag. It was the only seat on the aircraft like this. After I complained, a flight attendant said I could be moved, but only if I paid a...

I’m flying Delta One on an Airbus A350-900 from Johannesburg to Atlanta and trying to decide which seats are best. The available options are in rows 1, 9, 10, and 11. I’m looking for advice on which row would offer the most comfortable experience in terms of privacy, noise...

Hi all, Our aircraft was changed and we were reassigned to seats 27H and 27J on the new Boeing 787-9 with the Allegris cabin. From what I can tell, these are now exit row seats. I am not sure whether these seats still have recline functionality or if they are fixed upright due...

I have genuinely never seen this before. My assigned seat had a structural pillar right in front of it, meaning there was basically no legroom and nowhere to properly place my bag. It was also the only seat like this on the entire aircraft. When I complained, the flight...

I’m flying internationally next week with my husband and our 1.5-year-old for a wedding. Since our first flight is around 10 hours, I decided to bring a car seat because I’m hoping my daughter will sleep more comfortably, similar to how she does during car rides. I intentionally...

I’m flying Singapore Airlines flight SQ25 (Singapore to Frankfurt, red-eye) on a Boeing 777-300ER and planning to pay for an extra legroom seat for added comfort. The only available options are seat 49C (aisle) or 49K (window). Both are in a windowless exit-row-style section but...

I have a flight from EWR to PBI with three tickets booked in total. Two of the passengers are on one reservation and currently have seats in row 20 B and C, with 20 A still open. The third passenger is on a separate reservation, but for that traveler the seat map is showing all...

I have an upcoming long-haul Alaska Airlines flight to London Heathrow and would appreciate some firsthand seat recommendations, since the seat maps online are not giving me enough detail. I currently have Platinum status and am assigned to 33H in Premium Class. Normally, I...

I really like Air France because it seems to be one of the few airlines that allows free advance seat selection for bulkhead seats without requiring elite status. On most other airlines, I usually need Platinum or another elite tier to access bulkhead seating before check-in...

Hi everyone, This is my first time flying a long-haul (about 10 hours) on Discover Airlines in Premium Economy. I’m trying to decide between selecting a bulkhead seat for extra legroom or choosing a seat in the back row for more privacy and less foot traffic. The flight is...

I recently checked in for a Lufthansa flight and looked at the seat map, and it felt extremely restrictive. Almost all window and aisle seats were shown as unavailable, while the only remaining free seats were mostly middle seats or extra-legroom options. This created the...

I initially thought I was dealing with an automated system, so I may have misunderstood part of the situation in my original post. I later realized it might have been an actual live agent I was interacting with. After updating my post to remove personal information, I’m still...
