Seat designationOn many aircraft, the rightmost seats have letter designations HJK, skipping the letter I. This is because each seat has a row number followed by letter; letters that may be confused with numbers (I, O, Q, S, or Z) must be avoided, usually for people with dyslexia.
RE: Why No B On Planes Seat PlanDepends on the system that the carrier uses, but B is pretty common. A lot of systems insist that the same type of seat always has the same letter eg. A is always window, C is always aisle. B is usually a middle seat on the left hand side of the aircraft, facing forward.
Is seat A or B by the window? With few exceptions, the A seat will always be by the left window. The F seat will be by the right window in a narrow-body jet with a single aisle. They'll skip numbers to keep the naming scheme correct in smaller jets, often keeping C and D for the aisles.
Occasionally, aircraft with a seating structure of 2+2 may letter the seats as ACDF to keep with the standard of A/F being window and C/D being aisle on short-haul aircraft (which generally have 3+3 seats).

Thus, while these planes are different, they don't offer much more seating than the Boeing 737-700, but do provide more comfort. We used to skip 33 on certain maps to make the [final] row standardized, but the end row is no longer standardized, a United Airlines spokesperson told Travel + Leisure.
Some airlines may skip some letters because some of the letters are absent from their alphabet (e.g. an airline in Vietnam may have the layout ABC-DEG-HKL in economy class because letters f, j, w, and z are absent from the Vietnamese alphabet).
If you are a new flight goer, you certainly must book a window seat. Avoid seats 18 to 20, as they cover up the wings portion. you would hardly be able to enjoy the spectacular view. You can either book front seats or just go for middle ones, starting from 21 to 35..
If half-cans of soda, 30 inches of legroom and rewards points get you excited, then you'll like it here. Why 17A? It's a great window seat in most planes and every blog deserves a name, right?
