The Downside of Extra Legroom Seats on Planes

A Wizz Air crew member says extra legroom seats may not be worth it.

Extra legroom on flights is often a perk, but it has a major downside.

Adam Hodge, a Wizz Air cabin crew member, has worked for eight years and traveled to 30 countries. He loves providing good service and knows the cabin well.

Adam knows the best and worst seats on a plane. He says extra legroom seats are actually more restrictive.

Adam shared the most and least desirable seats on a plane.

Adam explained that extra legroom seats at emergency exits have restrictions. You can't have bags on the floor or headphones on during take-off and landing.

Adam likes to have his bag under the seat for easy access. He likes freedom and flexibility.

Adam recommends a window seat, but only in specific rows.

Adam prefers a window seat in the middle of the plane, between rows 5 and 10 or 25 and 30. He likes being in the middle, not at the front or back.

Adam likes the middle seats because they have easy access to the toilet and the trolley service.

Adam likes window seats so he can see what's going on and take photos.

Adam thinks the aisle seat is good for access, but not the middle aisle. He calls it the friendship seat.

Adam recommends choosing a window seat around the middle of the plane.

Adam has flown to many destinations and recommends Tiranë, Albania. It has a city, beach, and coastal areas.

Tiranë has the best of both worlds, with city and beach options. It's similar to the Maldives in some areas.

Tiranë is good value for money.
