Seat 11A might look appealing on the seating chart, but frequent flyers warn it’s “one to avoid.”
**1. No Real Window View**
Despite being labeled a window seat, “11A often lacks a proper window.” On planes like the Boeing 737, the air conditioning system takes up the space where a window would be—leaving passengers facing a blank wall.
**2. Cramped and Noisy**
Located over the wing where the fuselage narrows, 11A offers “reduced legroom” and more engine noise. It’s not ideal for comfort, especially on long flights.
**3. Delays in Service and Exit**
Passengers in 11A are “often among the last to receive meal and beverage service.” Disembarking also takes longer, which is a problem if you have a tight connection.
**4. Bad for Moving Around**
As a window seat, getting out means disturbing others. It’s “cumbersome, especially on longer flights” for those needing to stretch or use the restroom frequently.
**5. Poor Window Alignment Nearby**
Even nearby seats like 12A and 12F can have “misaligned or partially obstructed windows,” disappointing those expecting scenic views.
**Final Tip:** Always check detailed seat maps before choosing—looks can be deceiving.
