Over the years, many people in the airline business have spilt beans regarding closely-kept secrets of the industry. Now, the latest secret in the airline industry to see daylight is something that will help all of us.
Starting with the process of booking a flight, we all have faced a dilemma about which seat to book – The aisle-side or window-side, the front-row or middle-row, the dilemma even stretches to the selection of airline service company.
That being said, with the latest secret out of the bag, we can at least bid adieu to the dilemma surrounding the seat row, all thanks to a pilot in the commercial airline industry.
According to the pilot, the front-row seats are a lot more comfortable than the rear-row seats in the aircraft. This discomfort in the rear seats is mainly due to the turbulence caused as the front row seats are less susceptible to the disturbance caused by the turbulence.
While the effects of turbulence are not much of an issue for short flights, it becomes more bothersome in longer flights that usually take a few hours to reach the destination. As such, it is best to book the front-row seats on a long-haul aircraft.
Furthermore, it is also known that front-row seats in most cases come with a bit of extra legroom. Though this additional space may just be a few centimetres extra, it can turn out to be crucial few centimetres during long-haul flights.
Speaking about turbulence, it is caused by the uneven movement of air around the aircraft. This causes the aircraft to move up and down rapidly, which apparently feels like a choppy car ride. Sometimes the turbulence can be soo bad it can even toss passengers around.
Looking at all the above reasons, the front-row seats on an aeroplane seem like they are worth the extra money it demands over the rear-row seats. Furthermore, booking the front seats will also make long hauls more enjoyable, thanks to the additional legroom they offer.
