Where you sit matters! That’s why airline apps allow you to change your seat right up until you start boarding. Even in business class, it can be free to move. I’m going on about this because where you sit can decrease airplane turbulence. 

Where to sit to reduce airplane turbulence 

Look y’all the Earth is getting hotter. As a result, we’re seeing more catastrophic weather events and air disturbances. Airplane turbulence has been increasing. 

But if you pick the right airplane seat, you can reduce the impact of violent bumps and shaking. This i key to being able to have a drink, take a nap, or watch a movie in peace. Plus, it could cut down on nausea. 

I sat beside a man on a plane who couldn’t stop throwing up in the little free bags and it was awful. But the pilot was flying at a faster speed to make up for lost time, which increased turbulence. 

Anyways, to help anxious flyers, a pilot has some helpful advice. Jimmy Nicolson suggests sitting toward the front of the plane. 

People in the front experience less turbulence because the rear of the plane sways more. Sitting near the wings also increases the feeling of stability because they’re located closer to the airplane’s center of gravity. 

Sitting in the rear may feel different due the the movement of the air. Sitting by the rear of the plane increases turbulence because this is where vertical input is the most noticeable. 

But regardless of where you sit, airplane turbulence can happen. Keep your seatbelt sign even when the fasten your seat belt light is turned off. This is the key to reducing the chance of injuries. 

Turbulence is one of the most unpredictable weather events of high significance to pilots. Plus, a Singapore Airlines flight recently had to make an emergency landing due to severe turbulence, which resulted in one death. 

So, if you’re a nervous flyer or you simply want to reduce nausea, pick the right seat to relax in.
