Where is the best place to sit on an Airbus A330?

Comfort: The most comfortable seats on the A330 are typically located in the front of the cabin, where there is more legroom and space to stretch out. The seats in the bulkhead rows and emergency exit rows also tend to have more legroom, but they may not recline fully due to safety regulations.

Well, it's all to do with space – one of those things we all crave so much while up in the air. “The plane's left side typically provides more headrest room than the right due to the location of the windows, so aim for the left side,” Radchenko explained.

Lastly, though air travel is one of the safest forms of travel, studies show that the back of the plane is actually the safest in the event of a crash, with a 40% increase in the likelihood of survival, compared to those sitting closest to the front.

Seats at the back of the plane tend to be bumpier, and sitting towards the back also means you're one of the last passengers to get off the plane after landing. Similarly, the bulkheads at the front of the cabin are where families with babies and young children sit.

My conclusion on the A330 is that, it is a very safe airplane but because of its wing design, any turbulence tends to be more pronounced than, for instance, on a Boeing 777.

Turbulence isn't any milder on the A330. It's just different. Because I know there's at least one of you who wanted to see how much larger the A330 toilet is compared to the 777. Basically, if you have to use the lavatory in rough air, it'll be less messy on the A330!

The best seats on a plane Best seat for peace and quiet: A seat near the front. Best seat for legroom: A bulkhead or exit-row seat. Best seat for sleeping: A window seat in a bulkhead row. Best seat for extra space without a seatmate: A seat towards the back.

Generally, sitting on the upper deck is preferable because of the usually smaller cabin and lower density configuration (2-4-2 vs. 3-4-3). It's also quieter sitting upstairs. For a day flight being here may be an advantage, since you can receive service more easily, or in premium cabins, perhaps serve yourself.

The back of the plane is definitely the worst place to sit for travelers who hate turbulence since it's far from the plane's center of lift and gravity. This section can also be very loud since some planes have engines and auxiliary power units toward the back of the body that make a lot of noise.

Sitting at the point where both the plane's lift and center of gravity meet—and forces are pushing both up and down equally on the plane —usually ensures the smoothest ride. Another rule to fly by: Anything over or a bit forward from the wing will be more stable than anything after the wing.

The best seats in Economy Class On shorter flights in Economy, I'll typically choose a window seat (for the views) and pay extra to sit in the front of the cabin or at the bulkhead for more legroom. On long-haul flights, I'll consider an aisle seat located about 4-5 rows from the back.
