Flight attendant shares best seats to book on plane - and ones to avoid

When it comes to travelling by air, most passengers go out of their way to ensure their flight is as comfortable as possible.

To help out, a flight attendant has revealed the best seats to book on a plane this holiday season - and the ones you should avoid if you want a peaceful journey.

Airhostess Sandra Jennie Kwon, known as @jeenie.weenie on TikTok, has shared a video explaining how she calculated the best seats in economy.

In her clip, she says: "The first eliminate should be a no brainer - the middle seats suck. The back rows of every section do not recline.

"I'm not a tall person, I don't need these emergency seats. There's also nowhere to store your personal belongings there. They also have those flimsy seats and tables - so let's scrap them."

She went on to explain how airlines automatically fill up the front of the plane first to help create "equal distribution", saying you're much more likely to have an empty seat on your row when sitting at the back.

"For those odds, I prefer the back," she added. "Seats near a toilet really stink - I recommend a five row buffer just to be in the 'safe zone'.

"The next one is personal preference, I hate asking people to move so I can use the toilet - and for that I eliminate all window [seats].

"Because meals are typically served front to back, you have a higher chance of getting your meal choice at the front.

"So due to process of elimination, we now have my ideal seat choice - which is seat 49 C/D/F/G."

Commenting on her video, one user said: "No! Now people will rush to these seats and they'll become more expensive than business class."

Another user added: "I was listening up until you scrapped the window seat."

A third user said: "The amount of people that'll be fighting for seats 49 C/D/F/G after watching this... omg."

One more user added: "Me taking notes even though I probably won't be on a plane for another year."
