Worst Seats to Avoid on a Plane

Before you book, know which seats to skip — and why they end up the most-regretted choice on almost every flight.

Seats to avoid

• The last row: reduced recline, closest to lavatories, noisiest
• Back-row middle seats: no window, no aisle, no armrest priority
• Seats near lavatories: constant foot traffic and door noise
