I was a flight attendant for over 10 years. Here are the 5 best and 5 worst seats on a plane.

Former flight attendant Kristine Fernandez rates eight flight-attendant scenes in movies and television shows for realism. Fernandez worked as a flight attendant for seven years on a luxury airline and served first class, business class, and economy. Fernandez discusses the accuracy of flight-attendant scenes in "Bridesmaids" (2011), starring Kristen Wiig; "Crazy Rich Asians" (2018); and "The Flight Attendant" (2020), starring Kaley Cuoco. She comments on the reality of situations with passengers in "Just Married" (2003), "Meet the Parents" (2000), and "Snakes on a Plane" (2006). Fernandez also analyzes the portrayal of the airplane apparatuses in "View from the Top" (2003), "Due Date" (2010), and "The Wedding Singer" (1998).

• My 10 years as a flight attendant taught me the importance of selecting the right seat.

• The seats in the back are more likely to feel turbulence.

• Don't sit by the bassinets if you want to avoid crying babies.

The right seat is important when booking a flight. After a decade as a flight attendant, I have learned which ones are great and which are not.

The smallest details can have a big impact on your travel experience.

The best and worst places to sit on a plane are listed here.

Emergency exit row

• You are less likely to have people sitting next to you if you pay an extra fee to sit in these seats.

• It's great for tall travelers since they have more space.

There are possible drawbacks.

• The seats by the door are not warm.

• If there is an emergency, you must help other passengers by operating the exit door.

• People gather in the exit row to stretch their legs.

• All of your belongings have to be placed in the overhead compartment.

Two-seater rows

• It is possible to have more room between you and your fellow passenger with two seats per row.

Front section

• It's a good idea to sit in the front of the plane.

• You're more likely to get your meal choice in the front if the crew starts serving food and beverages there first.

Middle section 

There could be a possible downside.

• The location of the plane's engines makes this area a bit noisier.

Any window seat

• I choose the window seat. It's an ideal distraction if you're a nervous flyer.

• You don't have to worry about other passengers getting up and using the restroom.

Seats directly in front or behind the bulkhead

• Since there isn't a seat in front of you, you have to put your belongings in the overhead compartment.

• You don't need a tray table to put it down. You have to ask the crew for a table.

• bassinets are frequently placed there, so if you don't want to hear kids crying during your flight, think twice about seating behind the bulkhead.

• The seats in front of the bulkhead do not recline.

It could be a possible perk.

Seats near the cabin restroom

• The other passengers on the flight will be waiting for their turn to use the restroom.

• You will not be able to escape the smell of the restroom, the bright lights, and the flushed noises.

It could be a possible perk.

• If you are in this seat, you won't have to wait in a queue.

Seats by the galley 

• All of the in-flight meals and refreshments are prepared in the galley. They are located at the front and back of the plane, but larger aircrafts have one in the middle.

• The area around the galley can be loud because everything is stored in metal boxes. People chat there which makes the noise worse.

• The lights will be on the entire time if one of the crew members is on duty.

• Unless you want people and carts bumping into your shoulders and shins the whole flight, you should avoid the aisle seat by the galley.

Rear section

Any middle seat 

• I don't think the middle seat is a good place to sit on a plane.

• The person in the middle of the row is left to awkwardly cross their arms when people in the window seat and aisle seat take up the entire row's armrests.

• If the person in the window seat wants to use the restroom, you'll have to interrupt the person in the aisle seat to use it.

• Unless you're willing to nod off onto someone else's shoulder, you're going to have a hard time sleeping.
