Usually, it's best to pick a seat toward the front of the plane for several reasons: It's usually quieter, and you can get on and off faster. There's a balance between choosing front/back and window/aisle.

Sitting in the front of the plane is generally considered a premium choice for several practical reasons. First, it is significantly quieter because you are seated ahead of the jet engines, where the roar of the turbines is less pronounced. Second, you are among the first to deboard, which is invaluable for tight connections or getting to the front of the immigration line. From a comfort perspective, the front of the plane often experiences less turbulence than the tail, as the aircraft pivots around its center of gravity (usually near the wings). However, there are downsides: front rows are often the "Bulkhead" seats, which may have no floor storage during takeoff and landing, and their tray tables are often tucked into the armrest, making the seat feel slightly narrower. Additionally, front rows are often near the galleys and lavatories, which can lead to increased foot traffic and noise from crew activity during long-haul flights.
