A flight attendant has explained why she always chooses the same row when booking her seat on an airplane.

Cabin crew spend their days making sure our flight experience goes by as smooth as possible.

Smiling as they welcome us on board - although there is another motive behind this - they are the team that respond in emergencies at 40,000 feet while also supplying us a coffee or overpriced tube of Pringles.

Many flight attendants have recently spoken about the secrets of the trade, while also revealing the common plane habits they think are 'evil'.

And others have lifted the lid on exactly what happens when people try and join the mile high club.

Rosie Awad is another flight attendant who has spoken about the trade, having been a part of it for more than a decade. Spending more than five years with Virgin Australia, she's based out of the Aussie city of Melbourne.

Speaking to Escape, she revealed why - as a passenger - she will always pick the same row on a plane when booking tickets.

She also explained the seats you really should be avoiding if you want a pleasant and awkward-free experience.

Rosie said: "The worst seat [for crew] is the 1R jump-seat [this is right at the front of the plane].

"You’re facing the cabin, looking at the passengers… they’re looking at you… it can turn into an awkward staring contest.

"The worst seat for passengers would have to be the last row, or any row next to a lavatory (I’m so sorry to those who get any in that row).

"I think it’s pretty self explanatory why this is chosen."

She then explained why she always picks the same row of the plane if it's available when booking.

Rosie said: "I would always choose row 5 [on our B737-800] at the window. There are great views, you can see the airplane wing, you get extra leg room, there are no emergency exit responsibilities.

"You're able to put a bag under the seat in front, it's close for disembarking, and is one of the first rows to be served for inflight service … see why I chose it?"

Speaking of things being awkward, cabin crew are pretty to the point when it comes to passengers fancying them on flights.

If you truly do find yourself looking for love at 40,000 feet, there's just one way to 'shoot your shot' according to another flight attendant.
