As the school summer holidays are finished it doesn’t mean the travel season is over. For a smooth flight sometimes you just want a comfy seat.

Especially if you’re flying long-haul. But did you know that some seats are better than others, and no we’re not talking about the legroom.

Julianna Marshall, a travel expert at the International Drivers Association has revealed which two seats are the worst on UK flights.

Marshall said: “Choosing the right seat on a flight can vastly improve your travel experience.”

From limited recline to awkward proximity to high-traffic areas, these seats can make long trips even more uncomfortable.

So which seats are they?

A survey involving British flight attendants highlighted specific seats that could ruin your flight experience. It turns out seats 11A and 11F are the worst to sit in.

These window seats might seem appealing at first glance; however, they come with disadvantages that most travellers overlook. Let’s take a look at the reasons why.

1. Limited legroom

These seats are often located near the exit rows, but contrary to popular belief, they do not always provide extra legroom. In some aircraft configurations, these seats might have reduced space due to safety equipment or the structure of the plane.

2. No window access

In certain models of aircraft, seats 11A and 11F might lack a window entirely, leading to a claustrophobic experience. For passengers who appreciate a view to alleviate the monotony of a flight, this can be a considerable inconvenience.

3. Cold temperature

Being close to the plane’s exit means these seats are often exposed to colder temperatures. This can make the flight uncomfortable, particularly on longer routes where adjusting to temperature shifts is crucial for relaxation.

4. Noise levels

Proximity to the exit can also mean being closer to the galleys or bathroom areas, often resulting in higher noise levels. Frequent disturbances from passenger movement and flight crew operations can disrupt peace, crucial for those who need rest.
