There is a little-known reason why you should always avoid being booked into seat 11A when you\u2019re booking a flight.\n
If you\u2019re unlucky enough to get that spot, you\u2019ll find that you\u2019re stuck in the middle of the plane with not even a view.\n
That\u2019s because this seat isn\u2019t next to a normal window, instead there is just a tiny circular window that you can barely see out of.\n
But why?\n \u201cThe air conditioning on modern commercial jets is provided by two \u2018packs\u2019 that regulate the airflow and temperature in the cabin\u2026 Air travels from these packs to the passenger cabin via a series of ducts built into the sidewall of the aircraft.\n Here\u2019s the problem, basically every other \u2018window seat\u2019 gets at least some view of the window, but not seat 11A (AeroLOPA) What\u2019s even more insulting is that the person on the other side of row 11 in seat F has got a fantastically placed window, which they can make the most of, so your best view from 11A might be to just look right down the row and out of that distant porthole.\n Frankly speaking, the unfortunate souls in 12A and 12F don\u2019t seem to have a great view outside either, yet it\u2019s still not quite the blank wall that 11A would give you.\n If you want some advance warning of the type of view you\u2019d get from your window seat on the plane, hop onto a site like AeroLOPA which has floorplans of pretty much every airline\u2019s plane.\n You can see how much legroom you get and what sort of window view you might be in for.\n Weirdly enough, if you sit on the right hand side of the plane \u2013 so that is seats D, E or F \u2013 you can get slightly more legroom on a 737 because the design is slightly asymmetrical.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is a little-known reason why you should always avoid being booked into seat 11A when you\u2019re booking a flight.

\nAccording to an expert from Flight Radar 24, \u201cRyanair\u2019s seat 11A is windowless thanks to the Boeing 737\u2019s cabin air conditioning system.\n
\n\u201cOne of these ducts is located alongside seat 11A in the Ryanair 737-800 cabin.\u201d\n\n
