Tips for finding a comfortable legroom seat on a flight

Consultants at Which?, a UK-based consumer product advice website, looked at the seating maps of popular European airlines.

They discovered that some airlines had removed the front lockers to add extra rows of seats to increase profits per flight.

As a result, seats in the front half of the plane do not have the same legroom. Seats on the right (seats D, E, and F) typically have 0.5–1 inch (1.2–2.5 cm) more legroom than seats on the left.

To find out which row has more legroom, Which? suggests passengers enter their departure date into Google Flights to find the type of aircraft the airline they are booking with uses. Then, enter that aircraft type into the AeroLopa seating map website to see the layout.

Which? shows that most Ryanair planes are Boeing 737s. Entering your information into AeroLopa shows that seats D, E, and F from rows 3 to 15 have more than 1.2 cm of legroom. Passengers can be randomly assigned to these rows or pay £9 (nearly $12) to choose this seat.

Otherwise, passengers can try their luck by checking in late. The middle seats in the rows are often less popular and have some spare space. Therefore, if the flight time is close, you can choose these seats from rows 3 to 15, on the right side to have more legroom.

The consumer advice website points out that on Norwegian's Boeing 737s, the right row (seats D, E, F) provides an additional 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) of legroom from rows 3 to 14.

However, the right seat selection trick does not work on Wizz Air flights.

Passengers flying on easyJet's Airbus A321neo aircraft are advised to choose seats on the right, rows 3 to 13, to enjoy 74cm of legroom. Meanwhile, rows on the left and at the back of the plane have more than 71cm of legroom.

On British Airways' short-haul Airbus A320 flights, Which? points out that the tail section of the aircraft is narrowed, resulting in legroom in the rear rows being 2.6cm shorter than the front rows. As a result, passengers should avoid seats from row 30 onwards.

The website says most airlines allow passengers to change seats 2-3 hours before departure, so passengers should check the seating map before their flight to see if a better seat is available.
