best seats

When looking for the most desirable seats, the specifics can vary by airline, aircraft type, and venue.

Delta One Business Class Boeing 767 (JFK‑LAX)

The best seats are the window seats in even‑numbered rows, which are closer to the windows and farther from the aisle, offering more privacy and less chance of being bumped. Seat 8A is a true window seat on the left side in the second‑to‑last row.

Virgin Atlantic A350 Upper Class

The top seats are in row 1 – seats 1A, 1D, 1G and 1K – which have increased bed width and length because they are at the bulkhead. For solo travelers, window seats A or K are especially desirable.

Delta 767‑300 Domestic (Coach)

One of the best seats for maximum legroom is the front row of the C+ section, which provides extra space despite a slightly reduced seat width.

Rookie Wednesday (Delta 767‑300 Domestic Coach)

Row 26 on either side is considered the best seat in coach, offering unreal legroom and minimal contact with the seat in front.

Cathay Pacific 777 First Class

The most desirable First Class seats are 1A and 2A, as they are the only seats that open onto the left aisle.

British Airways A321neo Club Europe (Business Class)

The best seat in the cabin is 1C, a bulkhead seat with improved legroom because the bulkhead does not extend across all three seats.
