• Q. What are US Dept of Transportation family seating guidelines?

  Families often prefer to sit together while flying, especially when kids are accompanying them. And, it is only fair to kids to travel with their parents (or adult companions) owing to safety reasons and to be looked after. Sadly, that does not happen every time, and families often find it difficult to secure seats next to each other. However, the US Department of Transportation (DOT) has got you covered and offers some tips for families that can come in handy to them at least for times when flying domestically.

  • To be able to make it certain that you sit alongside your family, see to it that you’re purchasing the ticket that allows you to make reservations for specific seats.

  Was this information helpful? Yes No

• Q. Where’s the best place to sit for specific needs?

  A seat can make or break a journey. Every passenger has a specific need and, for that specific need, there is a seat.

  For more legroom – If you’re looking to spread out, you should always go for seats in the exit row that tend to provide more room to allow people to move in and out conveniently in an emergency. But, be mindful that the seats in the front exit row do not recline while those in the back exit row do.

  To sleep like a baby – Sound sleep during a flight might be difficult but not impossible to get. Grab a window seat in the aircraft to increase your chances of falling asleep like a baby. A window seat is not just good to feast your eyes on a billow of clouds but also to lean against the side of the aircraft. It is much more comfortable than trying to doze off on a neck pillow holding yourself straight up.

  For more elbow space – Not everyone is fond of airplane seats, and people often feel restrained in them. However, more space for your elbow can make you feel relatively much more comfortable. Opt for the window seat in exit rows, which often doesn’t have an armrest; it provides more room to move around.

  With a baby on board – If you’re flying with a baby, snag a bulkhead seat. It will give you more space to get your way around with the car seat for the baby. Also, the carrier won’t be a hindrance to other passengers looking to recline their seats as a bulkhead seat will be facing a wall and not a seat.

  To avoid ailments – To avoid falling sick, avoid sitting on aisle seats. Although to steer clear of any illness, your best bet is to make the most of hand sanitizers and disinfectant wipes but aisle seats tend to have fewer germs than other seats in an aircraft. They are the most touched seats by people on their way to the lavatory.

  For a smooth flight – Turbulence is one of the biggest reasons passengers get cold feet when flying. If you’re not much of a fan of these hair-raising moments, pick seats either over the wing or in front of wings because the center of the plane tends to receive more turbulence than the ends.

  For quicker service – Those who are impatient to wait for savoring the mouth-watering onboard meal should choose a seat closer to the cabin front. It is from there they usually begin to serve. Also, refrain from making a booking for a plane that has only one lavatory. These aircraft have the worst service to offer.

  To stay cozy and warm – Despite layering yourself with an extra sweater or a jacket, you can’t help shivering? Then, drafty seats that are close to exits are definitely not for you. Instead, pick a window seat to keep cold at bay.

  To hog more overhead bin space – Passengers concerned about hogging more overhead bin space should avoid exit rows or bulkhead seats. Crew equipment and oxygen bottles are often put right behind the exit or bulkhead seats, which is why the space is scarce over there. Go for the mid-cabin seats for more overhead bin room.

  For lesser noise disturbance – Families flying with kids are most likely to be moved to the rear of the aircraft. It’s best to opt for seats at the front of the airplane to avoid noise from kids. This way you will also be far from the engines of the aircraft.

  For safest seats – Although airplane crashes are the rarest of rare cases. But, if you tend to lose your sleep over it, go for seats in the back of the airplane near the tail section. In case of an accident, the tail is the last spot to get impacted. This makes seats over there the most survivable.
