While it won’t come as a surprise to most fliers that the window seat trumps all other options, there are a few more things you should consider before booking your flights.
Experts at the Huffington Post have confirmed a window seat is the best seat to get decent sleep on a flight.
For starters, you can easily lean your head against the plane’s wall. This will give you a better chance of avoiding a stiff neck and prevent awkward scenarios like bobbing your head while sleeping or drooling on a stranger’s shoulder.
But the most valuable perk of having the window seat is that you won’t be woken up by passengers who need to climb over you to go to the bathroom, and by people who are walking up and down the aisle. It provides a semi-private space in a rather crowded and public space, giving you the best chance of getting some rest.
