An avid traveller has issued important advice for fellow flyers about picking the 'worst' seat on planes.
While travelling by air can be convenient, long haul flights can be uncomfortable unless you can afford to splurge on business class tickets. Your legs will have become sore, possible an achy back and the inflight films can grow tiresome.
However, one frequent flyer has offered advice to make the trip a little easier.

As the Mirror reports, John Burfitt says he always chooses the 'worst' seat on a plane when he travels - the window seat at the back by the toilets. Writing for escape.com.au, he previously claimed that it can actually be the most relaxing place to sit, despite its bad reputation.
It came after he was repeatedly kicked in the back by a passenger and John vowed he would never go through that experience again. Only when he walked to the bathroom on the plane that it clicked that there was no seats behind the last row - only a wall.
"In that instant, I decided the back row would be the only place I would sit on a long flight from now on," he wrote. Sure enough, on my next flight, I booked into the back row of the cabin and, even better, my seat was the one right next to the window.
"As I nestled into that corner, I discovered what true airline love is about. I had just found the best seat on the plane."
Other perks include never getting hit by the drinks trolley, not being bumped by passengers stretching their legs down the aisle, and being able to lean into the corner wall while you try and get some sleep.
