It might be the airline's reputation for food and wine or the fact it tops the list for safety, loyalty points, and delays. We might not give enough consideration, though, to where we should be sitting on a plane once we've bought our tickets.
Avoid Rear-Facing Seats That Might Induce Nausea Imagine you think you've paid more for the best seats on the plane. They're at the front, in a pair, away from everyone else, and seem perfect for you and your partner. But when you board, you realize they're, in fact, the worst.
They are rear-facing; you must look at everyone else on the plane for the entire journey. Such a situation went viral recently on a Tanzania Precision Air flight for passengers in seats 1A and 1B. There are several planes with rear-facing seats, where you have to face the rest of the passengers, notably some ATR turboprops at the front on the starboard side.
It might not help with nausea either; the entire cabin might witness you feeling sick. There are rear-facing seats on 777s, even in business class, especially row 10 on British Airways, which are also by the bathrooms. Some 787 Dreamliners also have rear-facing seats.
Not all similar aircraft models have the same configuration .
