The Best Seats To Choose If You Hate Turbulence
An airline pilot has revealed the best seats to book if you want to avoid being hit by turbulence on your next trip. Airline pilot Patrick Smith told eShores that seats toward the front of the plane or cabin are best if you want to avoid turbulence. Smith recommended paying extra to choose a seat, noting that seat locations and features vary by aircraft type, route, and cabin configuration. Experts also recommend that you plan ahead in order to make sure that you secure your preferred spot in the cabin. While choosing a seat to limit the unpleasant effects of turbulence is not a bad idea, it may be unnecessary. No airplane has ever crashed because of turbulence, with the vast majority of accidents taking place during take-off and landing.
