What are the best seats on the plane?
Not every seat on the plane is equally good or pleasant.
In addition to the business or first class seats, there are also economy class seats that offer more freedom of movement or less interference from turbine noise.
1. Seat at the emergency exit
It is probably known to many people that the seats at the emergency exits offer more legroom . However, there are certain restrictions on the people who are eligible for these places. You can find more information here:

2. Seat in front of the turbines
When reserving seats, it is often overlooked that the background noise of the turbines can be an important factor. Therefore, experienced air travelers often recommend choosing a seat in front of the turbines to minimize noise levels.
3. Seat with extra legroom
On some aircraft, there are rows of seats in economy class that provide extra legroom and are not necessarily related to the emergency exit seats. These seats are usually located in the front rows of the aircraft.
4th seat in Edelweiss Business Class

5. First Class Seat
Opt for a seat in First Class if you want to experience the highest level of comfort .
