The worst seats on planes that passengers should avoid including Ryanair

The seat you choose on a plane is very important to some as it could determine whether or not you have a pleasant journey.

Some passengers opt for a window seat to enjoy a bird's eye view of what is underneath, while others like to have a seat next to the aisle to avoid the awkwardness of asking a stranger to move every time you need a bathroom break.

However, while many seats make your journey more enjoyable, others can make a flight much more uncomfortable.

One that is well-known for giving flyers a poor experience is seat 11A on Ryanair flights, which has no window - or a tiny window that you can't really look out of - despite being on the window aisle, reports the Star .

Some passengers who pay for a window seat may even find themselves on seat 11A, leading to disappointment and a rating of one star out of five on Seatlink , which lets people rate aeroplane seats.

One reviewer stated: "There is no window if you need to see out to not feel sick stay away.

"I thought I was going to vomit for 90% of the flight as I had no reference to the outside."

The only other seats on Ryanair's Boeing 737-800 to receive such a low score were seats 33A to F – because they're right in front of the loos - and the toilets can begin to smell on a long haul journey.

But Ryanair seats aren't the only ones people try to avoid, as many other planes and airlines have "bad" seats which people wish to say to steer clear of.

The Telegraph said: "Norwegian's 737s have the same issue (avoid seats 10A, 11A and 11F), as does American Airlines' (steer clear of 11A and 11F).

"But if you fly with easyJet, the windowless perches are at the back, rather than in the middle. Seat 31A, to be precise, for those on its A320 aircraft, and seat 26A and 26F on its A319s."

While, British Airways A380s apparently have a number of seats with limited views from the windows.

Both 70A and 70K in economy will offer poot window views.

This also applies to 12A, 12K, 50A and 50K in Club World. So make sure you check your seat before paying extra or choosing your position.
