What are the best seats on the plane?
Not all seats on an airplane offer the same benefits.
While you can expect a lot of comfort, space and tranquility in Business or First Class, there are options for seats with increased legroom or lower background noise (turbine noise) in Economy Class.
1. Seat at the emergency exit
If you want more legroom during a flight, then a seat right at the emergency exit can be a good option. However, it should be noted that there are restrictions on the number of people who are allowed to sit in these seats. For more information, see: https://www.ita-airways.com/de_de/fly-ita/additional-services/seats-assignment.html
2. Seat in front of the turbines
When reserving a flight, it is advisable to pay attention to the location of the seat in relation to the turbines. Experts recommend choosing a seat in front of the turbines to minimize turbine noise and make the flight more comfortable.
3. Seat with extra legroom
If you want more comfort and space on your flight, a seat in Premium Economy Class is a good choice. These rows of seats are usually found in the requiredareas of economy class and offer you increased legroom.
4th seat in ITA Airways Business Class
If you want to experience a higher level of comfort, freedom and tranquility on your flight, it is recommended to choose a seat in Business Class.
5. First Class Seat
If you want to get the most out of your flight experience , then we recommend reserving a seat in First Class. Here you will find the ultimate combination of freedom, privacy and luxurious comfort.
