Where do you like to sit when traveling on a plane?

When faced with hours strapped into an airplane seat, do travelers care where they are located on the plane?

According to a new study by Upgraded Points, yes, and Massachusetts travelers in particular prefer seat 1A, a window seat in first class.

For the study, Upgraded Points surveyed 3,142 passengers by providing a Boeing 737-800 seat map and asking them to choose their top seat location. The information was collected between June 14-21 and does not include the following states due to limited responses: Alaska, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming. 

The study showed that 66.6% of passengers prefer a window seat, 31.7% prefer an aisle seat, and 1.7% prefer a middle seat. Window seats make up eight of the top 10 coveted seats.

Seats 1A, 7F, 7A, 1F, and 7C were the top five choices among passengers and, overall, rows 1 and 7 (bulkhead seats) and 4, and 20 (exit row seats) were the most popular, according to the study.

“It’s no surprise that seat 1A is the top choice for most passengers,” wrote the website. “This first class seat offers ample legroom, easy restroom access, a window view, and the perk of being one of the first on and off the plane.

The ideal seat is in either the bulkhead or exit row, according to the study. Row 7, the economy class bulkhead row, was a favorite in 17 states, including Connecticut and Maine.

Bulkhead seats are located directly behind the wall that separates crew areas or other classes of service and the benefits of sitting there include priority boarding, receiving beverage service first, deplaning faster, and there’s no reclining seat in front of you, according to the study.

Window seats in the exit row are among two of the top 10 seat selections in the study, and 41 percent of its respondents are willing to take on the responsibility of operating the emergency exit for extra legroom.

The safety of a seat is also a deciding factor when booking, according to 41 percent of respondents, and 66 percent of flyers feel the middle of the plane has the least amount of turbulence and is safest during a crash, according to the study.
