What Flight Attendants Won’t Tell You—Plus Pro Tips for a Comfier Flight

3. What are the best seats?

When picking a seat, many travelers wonder which is best. Studies suggest that seats at the back of the plane are often safest in emergencies and may offer better service. One reason is that the rear is where attendants store extra supplies. If you need blankets or pillows, those in the back are usually helped first. This makes your flight more comfortable, with attendants nearby to assist. The back also tends to be quieter, offering a more relaxing place to sit.
