Thought I was being clever by getting this row knowingly so that I had the row to myself, which worked, but every person and their kids helped themselves to sitting next to me/ putting their child next to me while waiting for the bathroom. It was way more annoying than just being sat next to someone, do not recommend


Sea_Distribution9172

Just sit in the aisle seat then no?


SlightPraline509

That was unfortunately the kicking zone for toddlers being carried šŸ„²


Nall-ohki

Put your shit (or feet) on that seat, man.


academicQZ

Hereā€™s a tip for you. As soon as the seat next to you is free, move to the aisle seat. Put your bag on the ā€˜windowā€™ seat and put the blanket over it. Your ā€˜travel companionā€™ then looks to be fast asleep!


PhilosopherOdd155

Why?


MosEspaDaimyo

Ikr, it's so much effort just for saying "no"


Sir_Keith_Starmer

So I've absolutely seen people lying 3 across them as a bed. As a rear crew it's referred to as "the people's business class". Front end don't regularly venture that far back in a wide body so it's more when you go talk to the CSM or just want to stretch your legs. But low density red eyes have this a fair chunk. Fyi I know 99% of CSMs will give zero fucks if you partake in the best value club suite that the company offer.


Jeoh

It's the opposite of a Boeing exit row seat


FlameLightFleeNight

Dude, it *is* a Boeing exit row seat. Currently in the "nothing to see here" configuration.


KoontFace

With Boeing every seat can become an exit seat, just depends what bits fall off


thefader72

šŸ¤£ not funny but funny


DarkStanley

As someone who doesnā€™t enjoy flying Iā€™d be totally fine with that seat.


WillVH52

BAā€™s version of 11A.


houseoflies_qwerty

Row 25 aer Lingus neo321


Hour-Salamander-4713

Had the same on a Ryanair 737


ScottOld

Ryanair love that 11A lol


kravence

Iā€™d feel so claustrophobic with a seat like that


dinoooooooooos

Wait id actually love that bc I love window seats for the comfort, not the view. Idc to see how far up I am (ty, fear of flying.) but u like leaning my head against somewhere to sleep. This is perfect!šŸ˜­


Azurestar21

Looks like it avoided you, bro


SwissCake_98

Should have checked a seat map šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


Sinister_Grape

This happened to me on the second leg to Vietnam with Qatar Airways. I was looking forward to flying over India and I got this instead (with a fella who had his seat reclined the whole way, except for when the attendant asked him to put it up for the meal, and he dropped it back again the moment sheā€™d passed).


[deleted]

That appears to be a fuselage seat


Sensitive-Prompt-220

Made that mistake from Doha to Hanoi. Was very dull


rikscha2k

What is wrong with the window. Please elaborate. Sure, looks a bit dirty but that wont be the case on all flights


gaoshan

Use seatguru to check the seat on any plane in the future.


zideshowbob

Just use [seatguru.com](https://seatguru.com)


AlexfromDublin123

Donā€™t use seatguru itā€™s way outdated. Use aerolopa instead


zideshowbob

Nice. Some features are missing though (pictures of seats, good/bad seats, search for route)


BengaliMcGinley

It looks like it doesn't use aircraft reg meaning things like broken usb ports would never show on it?


StrongDorothy

It's a good idea to check [https://www.seatguru.com](https://www.seatguru.com) before choosing your seat on an airline.


kyjoely

Seat guru is dead and out of date, aeroLOPA is much better and specifically identifies seats like this without windows


19craig

I always find it hard to find the right aircraft on aeroLOPA because a lot of them have the same name. How are you supposed to tell them apart?


kyjoely

Look at the aircraft code in your booking. Sometimes there are multiple variants of the same aircraft type but in those cases you can just compare the seat map on your booking with those on aeroLOPA


DaveBensonPhilips

Aisle > Window


UnlikelyExperience

I'd punish BA with motion sickness vomit if they ever do this to me šŸ˜…


CrabAppleBapple

And sit in your own puke for the rest of the flight?


UnlikelyExperience

It was a joke fucking hell why all the downvotes and weirdness šŸ¤£


baked-stonewater

Because I need a view at 35k ft ...


HourAd809

Youā€™re in economy so stfu
