I’m a frequent flyer and I’ve found the best seat to book in economy for a long-haul flight
ECONOMY flights are famously uncomfortable, and the thought of taking a long-haul journey can fill passengers with dread.
But a frequent flyer has revealed the best seat to book in economy for a long flight.
Phyllis Stoller, president of The Women's Travel Group, frequently flies long distances and she has found that one seat is better than the rest.
It's all about how close your seat is to the bathroom.
She told : ";I try to book an aisle seat about five rows from the bathroom.
"That way, you can grab the toilets when they have been empty for a few minutes."
By being sat close to the bathroom you can keep an eye on the queue and stay relaxing in your chair if there's a long line.
But when the queue goes down, you can be the first to jump up, and because you're sat so close, it's unlikely someone else will get in front of you.
