Many people think that once the plane ticket is purchased, the issue of seating is not so important. However, a well-chosen seat can significantly affect the travel experience. Whether it's a long-haul flight or a short city-to-city flight, it's worth taking care of the right place when booking for comfort and peace of mind. At Unifly.hu, we strive to provide the most complete information for the flight experience, and in this article, we will help you navigate the world of seats.

Why is seat selection important?

Choosing a seat is not just a matter of comfort. Numerous factors can influence whether a particular location meets your needs. For example, if you are tall, you will likely prefer an aisle seat to be able to move around comfortably. If you like to look at the scenery, the window seat is the best choice. If you want a peaceful journey, it is worth avoiding places near the restrooms and the galley, where there is more noise and traffic. Depending on the type of aircraft, the arrangement of seats may also vary, so it is important to find out about the aircraft type for your flight before booking the seat.

The role of the aircraft type

Different types of aircraft have different layouts. For example, on an Airbus A320 aircraft, there are usually 3-3 arranged seats, while on a Boeing 777, there may be 3-4-3 or even 2-4-2 arrangements. The distance (pitch) and width between the seats can also vary, which significantly affects comfort. On our Unifly.hu website, you can often find information about the aircraft type for your flight, and on the SeatGuru (seatguru.com) website, you can find detailed seat maps that will help you choose the best place. It is worth checking which seats are above or below wings, or other structural elements, as these can affect the noise level and the view.

What aspects should you consider?

  • Legroom: If you are tall, look for seats with more legroom. These are usually located above the wings or in the exit rows.
  • Aisle or window: The aisle seat allows for easy getting up and access to the restroom, while the window seat offers a great view and support while sleeping.
  • Noise level: Avoid seats near restrooms, the galley, and lavatories, where there is more noise.
  • Turbulence: Seats above the wings are usually less sensitive to turbulence.
  • Traveling with children: If you are traveling with children, it is worth choosing seats that are close to the restroom and where there is enough space for toys and luggage.
  • Special needs: If you have special needs (e.g., mobility impairment), please contact Unifly.hu customer service to help you choose the right seat.
