Depends 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.

Since there is no middle seats to left of the left aisle and to the right of the right aisle, the letter B is skipped (and K is skipped for the right-hand seats). If this numbering method is used it reduces confusion as A is always windows, C is always aisle etc.
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).
Airlines have the right to give your seat away or deny you boarding, even if you have a confirmed reservation and may be on the way, said Justin Albertynas, CEO of the travel-tech start-up RatePunk. He reminded me that airlines overbook flights to compensate for potential (and common) no-shows and cancellations.
The best seats on a planeBest 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.
An “A” or “F” mean first-class treatment, while a “B” often means you're more likely to get upgraded than if you have a “Q” or a “Y” on your ticket—the latter two are typically the cheapest economy fares.
Thus seat “A” is always next to the right window. There are other variations though that do depend on the airline. For example, one airline with 2 seats on the right and three on the left may label them as A and B, and then D, E, and F, while another airline may use A and C, and then D, E, and F.

Traditionally, an airliner is divided into, from the fore to aft, first, business, and economy classes, sometimes referred to as cabins. In recent years, some airlines have added a premium economy class as an intermediate class between economy and business classes.
Aviation specialist Doug Drury from Central Queensland University has analysed different seating options and has concluded that the middle seat is the safest option in the case of a plane crash.
The best seat on the plane to avoid turbulence is either over the wings or towards the front of the aircraft. The wings of the plane keep it balanced and smooth, whereas the tail of the aircraft can bounce up and down more. The closer a passenger is to the front of the plane the less turbulence they would usually feel.
However, statistically speaking, a seat close to an exit in the front or rear, or a middle seat in the back third of the plane offers the lowest fatality rate. That said, flying is still the safest form of transport.
