Brit holidaymakers seeking sun are being given the heads up to avoid certain Jet2 seats if they want a comfier flight.
Seatguru.com has spilt the beans, telling flyers that seat 11A on Jet2 planes is one to steer clear of because, shockingly, there’s no window.
It’s wise to also sidestep rows 1-2 and 32-33 unless you fancy the constant queue for the loo or the sound of it flushing to be your travel soundtrack.
Worse still, those opting for seats in the prime spots like rows 1, 15, and 17 and bulkhead seats 2D, 2E, and 2F will have to ditch their bags in the overhead bins, as these areas offer no floor storage.
Jet2 themselves, however, put a positive spin on the situation, highlighting on their site: “We offer a selection of extra legroom seats on all our aircraft.
“These seats are marked on our seat maps during the booking process and are generally located towards the front and middle of the aircraft.”
For those with a bit more cash, they add: “You can pre-book these seats during the booking process, add them later when you visit Manage My Booking or request them at check-in for a small fee per flight.
“The majority of our extra legroom seats are also classed as emergency exit seats, so only certain customers can sit here for safety reasons.”
Seats marked as emergency exit seats are subject to regulations set by the European Aviation Safety Authority (EASA).
These rules stipulate that certain passengers, including children under 14, pregnant women, and disabled individuals, cannot occupy these seats.
The same applies to those with physical or mental impairments, those requiring a seat belt extension, those suffering from a medical condition or injury, and those who do not have a reasonable command of English.
This information comes in the wake of a revelation by a flight attendant about a little-known button that can almost always guarantee extra room on a flight.
A Busbud survey found that 56% of passengers are annoyed by the lack of legroom, while 46% are frustrated when other passengers recline their seats.
For those feeling cramped in aisle seats on long-haul flights, TUI flight attendant Charlie Silver has shared a useful tip on TikTok.
He said: “Are you sitting on the aisle seat, wondering why your armrest doesn’t go up? Well, here’s a little hack for you.”
He then demonstrated how to use a hidden button located at the back of the armrest.
“Press this little hidden button and your armrest will move freely up and down,” he explained.
