With summer fast approaching, I think the majority of us cannot wait to hop on a plane for a break.
Whether it be the sandy beaches of Alicante, trying out the 'new Ibiza', or a city break in Budapest, millions of Brits will be jetting off somewhere abroad this year.
And while it's often all fun when you arrive at your destination, the travelling part of the journey is not always the easiest.

Whether it's worrying about how many months you have left on your passport, to general plane etiquette, there's a lot to consider.
Deciding where you are going to sit on the plane is also an important conundrum many flyers have - and everyone has their preference.
Some folks hate having an aisle seat, while others don't enjoy being situated near the wing.
I think one thing we can all be in agreement with, however, is that the middle seat is the worst.

On the other hand, one passenger believes they've discovered the best seat on a plane and the best thing about it... you can be in economy to enjoy it.
Sharing their findings on Reddit, the flyer revealed exactly where you should be sitting the next time you jet off somewhere nice.
Posting a forward-facing image of themselves sitting in the seat, they penned: "25A in the Airbus 321. Flying from Orlando, Florida, to LaGuardia, New York, we were delayed 4 hours 54 minutes so the pros were there were only 11 people on the flight and I received a $75 credit for the inconvenience. Cons were arriving at LGA at 2:20 am and having to commute 1.5 hours with the c***kheads on the bus."
The 'best (free) seat in the house' sees the passenger able to fully recline with their feet stretched out in front of them.
On top of that, no passenger is sat next to them, creating a real premium flying experience despite being in economy.

Some have since flocked to the comments section of the Reddit post to provide their thoughts.
However, one commenter dubbed it as the 'worst seat' in the house due to one particular reason.
"Until the flight attendant sits down and stares directly into your soul the entire flight. Then it becomes the worst seat in the house," one Reddit user quipped.
However, the flyer who made the post on the platform's 'JetBlue' forum wrote: "In my experience they only sit here at the beginning and end."
