How we rate every seat

Four things decide whether a seat is worth picking. We check all four on every seat, from the same seat-by-seat data behind every full map on SeatInfo, so a guide and its map never disagree.

See the terms we use
  • Window alignment

    Whether the seat lines up with a window, sits between two, or faces solid wall.

  • Recline

    Seats frozen upright by a bulkhead, an exit row or the back wall are flagged.

  • Legroom

    Real pitch for the row, plus bulkhead and exit rows that give you more of it.

  • Galley and lavatory

    How close the seat sits to the traffic, noise and light of a galley or lavatory.
