Flight attendant’s method ‘guarantees’ best economy seats on plane | Travel News | Travel

When it comes to air travel, most passengers make considerable efforts to ensure their flight is as comfortable as can be.

Cabin crew member Sandra Jennie Kwon, recognised as @jeenie.weenie on TikTok, has posted a video detailing how she determined the superior seats in economy class.

In her clip, she says: “The first eliminate should be a no brainer – the middle seats suck. The back rows of every section do not recline.

“I’m not a tall person, I don’t need these emergency seats. There’s also nowhere to store your personal belongings there. They also have those flimsy seats and tables – so let’s scrap them.”

She went on to explain how airlines automatically fill up the front of the plane first to help create “equal distribution”, saying you’re much more likely to have an empty seat on your row when sitting at the back.

“For those odds, I prefer the back,” she added. “Seats near a toilet really stink – I recommend a five row buffer just to be in the ‘safe zone’.

“The next one is personal preference, I hate asking people to move so I can use the toilet – and for that I eliminate all window [seats].

“Because meals are typically served front to back, you have a higher chance of getting your meal choice at the front.

“So due to process of elimination, we now have my ideal seat choice – which is seat 49 C/D/F/G.”

Responding to her clip, one viewer wrote: “No! Now people will rush to these seats and they’ll become more expensive than business class.”

A second added: “I was listening up until you scrapped the window seat.”

A third said: “The amount of people that’ll be fighting for seats 49 C/D/F/G after watching this… omg.”

While another person added: “Me taking notes even though I probably won’t be on a plane for another year.”
