You don't have to be familiar with economy class anymore, especially students who travel to and from Australia or other countries, and people who like to travel-most of them choose economy class.
This cramped place sits at least twice a year, and as we all know over time, window seats are more comfortable, and seats in safe passageways or compartmentalized areas usually have room comparable to business class.
However, many people often say that even if the emphasis is placed on the seat by the window, it is only when they get on the plane that they know that their so-called window-backing is like this:
Or this:
Or something like this:
Looking at the silent expression of the passengers, it seemed as if they were asking a question all over their bodies:
Where is my Window.?
Don't think that the window on the plane must have a window, once the design is indeed a one-window match. Because at that time the distance between the seats on the plane was still very large.
But with the commercialization of the business model, the space on the plane has begun to shrink, and many airlines have reduced the distance between economy seats in order to add more economy-class seats.
From the original free movement of both legs, to later, the legs a little longer at all can not open, the small table board may not be able to put down.
But in that case, Qantas Virgin explained on its social media that the window and seat were not aligned because the space had narrowed and seats were added. It's because of the air conditioning system of the plane.
In addition, on the 737, air-conditioning distribution pipes pass through the fuselage, the main body of the aircraft, before reaching the top vent. So windowless seats actually serve the air conditioning system.
That means sacrificing a person's right to look out of the window for the coolness and warmth of the whole plane.
Of course, Virgin also gives advice, if you like to enjoy the view outside the window, please do not choose:
Boeing 737-800 seat 9A,
Seats 39A and 330A for Airbus 330 and 200
Boeing 777-300ER seats 21A and 21K.
This may also explain why windowless seats appear, but one problem it cannot explain is the shrinking space between seats in economy class.
Most of the relatives who fly to Australia will find that the majority of their journeys are more than 9 to 10 hours. With such a long flight, the choice of seats is particularly important. So, how should we choose a seat?.
Qantas has given nine guidelines for seat selection. Please put it away.
I'd like to see the scenery out of the window-choose a seat by the window
Want to have a good rest and not be disturbed-choose the center seat in the front row
I'd like to have easy access-choose a seat next to the hallway.
Want more space-choose an emergency exit seat
Want to be quiet, reject the noise-choose the front seat
Want to lie down on your own side-try to pick the back seat (but this depends on luck)
Choose a seat away from the kitchen and bathroom
Special assistance is needed for inconvenient operation-contact airline to arrange seats in advance
Want to lock in spacious position-apply for airline member, member preferred
Apart from the narrow seating distance, the lack of space and the lack of windows, we thought there were numerous defects hidden in the high-end aircraft.
Top 20 facts on board:
Truth one: advanced airlines are not necessarily clean!
Have seen the big and small aviation propaganda film, to clean and clean seats must be deeply impressed.
But the truth is that it's dirty like a toilet! The crew had no time to disinfect and clean each seat because it was too busy to receive the passengers from one flight to the next every day, and the attendants had no time to disinfect and clean each seat. The bacteria that remain in every corner, though invisible, pose a great threat to the human body, especially to children!
Storage bags are passengers' favorite garbage collection bins, and be careful to use the backrest mesh bags when flying! More and more bacteria breed, there is no time to clean up the disinfection of the seat environment. Be sure not to put food in direct contact with the tablecloth. Naked feet can also cause bacteria to spread.
Truth two: watch your drinking wate
You probably didn't expect that the most reassuring of all the drinks available on the plane was unopened bottled water!
Think of the hot-water tea sets, coffee pots, wine cups that the flight attendants have used. The dirt in the pipe that hasn't been cleaned for a long time is hard to imagine!
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (Environmental Protection Agency) has also conducted random tests on the existing major aviation departments and tested the results: the proportion of aviation departments with high concentrations of bacteria is as high as 12.5%!
Truth three: check-in luggage can also be easily lost!
There are many factors that can lead to the loss of luggage, such as:
- Someone else took it by mistake;
- Staff are busy handling other boarding matters and forget to check in on the plane;
- The temporary worker inadvertently loaded his luggage on the wrong plane;
- It was randomly picked up by the Authority to check the luggage, resulting in delays in catching the plane.
Truth four: you can upgrade first class free of charge!
The editor teaches you how to make an appropriate request to the flight attendant to try and upgrade the first class after the plane takes off.
For example, can not bear the serious taste of the next seat, noisy and active bear children and crying and noisy babies and so on. The odds are small, but as long as there is still room in the first class, there is a chance.
Truth five: sealing doesn't have to be sealed.
Sometimes airplanes offer tight pillows, blankets or headphones.
Many people see the seal as brand-new, but otherwise, most of them are recycled products after regular disinfection and repackaging, and sometimes they are not cleaned up.
Truth six: safety depends on pilot experience
Many domestic routes require very low requirements for pilots, with 5000 hours of flight experience, and even a lot of them are dispatched from small airlines, but most people who don't know about this are buying tickets on the word of mouth of big companies.
Truth 7: there is no "plane seat safety map"
The most dangerous part of the plane depends on the airframe of the accident.
In other words, if the tail explodes, then the tail passengers are the most threatening.
But planes are by far the safest means of transport, with a less than 0.39% chance of accidents.
Truth 8: 15 minutes gold oxygen time
The airlines supply oxygen masks for only 15 minutes, leaving no fresh oxygen for overtime.
It wasn't long, but it was enough for pilots to lower the plane to human breathable heights.
Mask wearing time is only 15 to 20 seconds, high altitude anaerobic state, people only 15 seconds or so awake, mask wearing methods, everyone must listen carefully.
Truth nine: takeoff and landing are the most dangerous
Three minutes after take-off and eight minutes before landing are known as "Devil's 11 minutes," the most dangerous accidents often occur in this 11-minute event, in which a plane lost its signal during takeoff due to heavy fog and collided on the runway, killing more than 500 people.
The response is to dim the cabin lights, open the shade, and remove the table and chair panels for evacuation.
Truth 10: it's common for pilots to fall asleep
According to the survey, 43% of the 500 captains had fallen asleep in driving in the past six months. When the plane is in steady flight, it goes into automatic flight mode. The captain and the co-pilot take turns to rest, and it is not good for both to sleep at the same time.
Truth National Day holiday: take-off does not turn off the mobile phone, it is the captain who cheated.
If the phone is not turned off at takeoff, the captain will need to look for console signals among hundreds of jamming signals.
Truth 12: the plane is double-decked
Ninety-nine percent of passenger aircraft are double-decked, and upper floors are flight attendants for rest.
The entrance is very hidden, requires the password to enter, although the space is small, the five organs are full, pillows, quilts, mattresses, storage grids, clothing hooks and so on have everything, similar capsule hotel.
Truth 13: captain, deputy captain should be separated from each other for dinne
In order to ensure that the pilot and the co-pilot are not poisoned at the same time, their meals must be strictly separated.
Truth XIV: captain is very powerful
The captain may issue tickets, arrest, disembark passengers, and all on board, including flight attendants and passengers, must be ordered by the captain.
Truth 15: never consign your love
Pets are checked in by plane and placed in the cabin of the cabin, the loudest place in the plane, and the poor animals will be tormented all the way.
Truth 16: the bathroom can be unlocked
Before the plane lands, the door of the toilet is likely to be locked and banned, so the average person will stay away.
However, behind the "no smoking" or "toilet" sign, there is usually an unlocking device that can be relaxed from the outside when you lift the slide door plug.
Truth 17: you can tip
On many occasions in the United States, flight attendants get tips, can enjoy preferential treatment, specific preferential treatment, depends on luck.
Truth 18: almost none of the flight meals are delicious
Economy class flight meal is not good, that is for sure, but in fact business class and first-class flight meal, also not very good, this is because your taste buds, in the plane will not work! Even the chef's work is uninteresting.
Truth XIX: "fragile" logo, useless
Even if "fragile" stickers are used for check-in luggage, workers may throw their luggage around, and the only thing they want to do quickly is to ignore the labels.
Truth 20: check-in luggage must be locked
When your luggage is ready to be checked through the conveyor belt, anyone has the opportunity to steal your belongings.
So even if checked in, the luggage should still be locked, especially when there are valuables in it.
After reading, is it full of different feelings about flying? To be honest, flying is not so comfortable unless it's business class or first class. Of course, for economy class people who travel a lot, keep a good collection of the above, and pay more attention to the details.
