What do the seat ratings mean?

Green seats are recommended, yellow warrant caution, and red are best avoided. Seats without a flag are standard for their cabin. Ratings reflect window position, recline, and proximity to galleys or lavatories.

How are the best seats chosen?

Each seat is ranked by its recommended, caution, or avoid rating first, then by window quality, using the same per-seat data on the aircraft's to-scale seat map. Picks are grouped by cabin so you compare like with like.

What are the windowless seats?

Some seats sit at the window position but have a misaligned window, or none at all. We list those seat numbers so you can steer clear if a view or a wall to lean on matters.

Do I need an account to view this?
