How to have a 'higher chance' of getting a whole plane row, flight attendant reveals
Air travel can be uncomfortable; from blocked ears to difficulty getting a good sleep, improving your flight experience can be critical to feeling good at your destination.
And nothing is more uncomfortable than being sandwiched between two people on a plane.
But you could avoid this - and even score a whole row to yourself - with one simple tip, according to flight attendant Jeenie Weenie.

"Book seats in the very back of the plane if not in a rush to disembark, as there is a higher chance you will get a full row to yourself," the airline worker, who has 11 million followers on both TikTok and Youtube respectively, told HuffPostUK.
However, if you're in for a long-haul flight and want to recline your chair back for sleep, picking seats in the back row may not be best.
"These seats either don't recline or have limited option to recline," she said. Though this does depend on the airline.
For passengers still feeling peckish after their inflight meal, Jeenie shared another tip.

"You can always head to the galley after service and ask the flight attendants for a second meal, as leftover food is likely to go to waste," she said.
Flight attendants and crew are always offering advice to improve your in-air comfort and reduce mishaps during your flight.
A passenger recently went viral for sharing her flight attendant's hack for reducing air travel ear pain on TikTok.
Seeing her in pain, the flight attendant offered the woman a 'hot' paper cup to place over her ear. Steam produced inside the cup by placing tissues soaked in hot water at the bottom stimulates blood flow in the ear and relaxes muscles.

Another flight attendant recently shared she would never pack a neck pillow on a long haul flight.
"They're really bulky and not comfortable at all," she said.
Instead, she recommended packing a shawl to roll up as a headrest and use as a wrap at your destination instead of dragging around an oddly shaped pillow.
