The 5 best and 5 worst seats on a plane, according to a flight attendant with 10 years of experience
03.09.2024 - 15:44 / insider.com
When you book a flight, it's important to choose the right seat — especially since plane travel is about to get more miserable.
Increased turbulence and more delays are predicted to pop up in the next few years, and some airlines are charging more than ever to let flyers choose certain seats. Even Southwest is ditching its famous unassigned seating policy — and you may want to know in advance if you're given a seat so undesirable it's worth paying extra to upgrade out of it.
After a decade of traveling the world as a flight attendant, I've learned which seats on a plane are great, and which are not. After all, the tiniest details — like your proximity to exits, galleys, and toilets — can have a large impact on your travel experience.
Here are what I consider to be the best and worst places to sit on a plane.

The Best Bagels in NYC, According to a New Yorker
A quick way to start a fight? Take a stance on the best bagel in New York City. This may be the world’s bagel capital, but there’s little consensus amongst New Yorkers about the platonic ideal. Perhaps the only elements that we can all agree upon are that the bagel should be freshly baked, and a selection of schmears must be available. Older-school bagel devotees often argue that a bagel must have a visible hole, be on the smaller side, and require a strong jaw to chew; others look for more modern pillowy rounds, reaching to sizes that can nearly eclipse a human palm.
