Aviation transport experts have shared what to consider when booking airline tickets

Flight attendants have identified the least desirable seats on the plane. Surprisingly, the coveted window seats might not be the best choice for travelers awaiting onboard service.

Flight attendants from major airlines, in collaboration with the luxury travel guide platform Velloy, have shared ten savvy travel tips for comfort in the cabin. This information was reported by the Independent website.

The middle seats, particularly those near windows like 11A and 11F, have been pinpointed as the worst options for travelers. These seats are often last in line for meal service and disembarkation.

Tui crew member Tara commented, "If you're on a short-haul flight, the chances are high that the food will run out by the time it reaches the middle of the plane. Opting for a seat at the front or back of the aircraft is definitely the better choice if you're hoping to purchase drinks or snacks from the onboard bar during short- or medium-haul flights."

In row 11, you might miss out on your preferred in-flight snacks entirely. Tara added, "Passengers seated in the middle, especially on return flights, are much more likely to find that their desired items have sold out because we typically start serving from the front and rear and progress towards the middle."

Should you find yourself stuck in the middle row, a Virgin Atlantic employee suggests bringing "sealed instant meals that only require water" in your carry-on, such as instant noodles, to guarantee a meal onboard without breaking the bank.

Other recommendations from flight attendants include timing your travel for off-peak periods to increase your chances of securing an upgrade and contacting the check-in desk in advance.

"In the end, if you don't ask, you don't receive. Flight attendants have limited control over these matters. Check-in staff can view seat availability and have the authority to offer discounts or upgrades, even if complimentary upgrades are unavailable," remarked a British Airways flight attendant.
