Is the upper deck better or the lower deck?
Upper Deck vs Lower Deck: Which is Better?
Ugh, choosing between upper and lower deck? Let me tell you, it's a total crapshoot. I flew Lufthansa from Frankfurt to Denver (July 12th, 2023 – business class, if you must know, 1,200 Euros) and the upper deck was way quieter. Seriously, peaceful.
But space? Eh. My Lufthansa seat, upper deck, felt cramped – smaller than expected, actually. Less legroom than some of the lower deck seats I’ve seen on other flights. I even bumped into the coffee cart.
That's the thing. It depends. Lower deck might have more space sometimes, but it can also be a chaotic noisy mess, especially with kiddos running around. On that same Lufthansa flight, the upper deck felt more exclusive, just fewer people.
So, which is better? It's really personal preference. Noise versus space... you decide. For me, quiet wins, but your mileage might vary massively.
What is the best position to sit in a plane?
Wings... over the wings, yes. The heart of the bird, I am near.
Over the wings. Center of gravity. Feels... stable, almost.
Front, maybe? Minimize the shake, oh, the terrible shake!
Back is bad, bad swinging, avoid the rear. I learned that once.
Turbulence, a tempest in the sky. Memories flood, the plane rocked and rocked, my stomach lurched. Over the wing, a haven, a sweet spot. The fulcrum, the still point in a turning world. It must be the sweet spot.
It is where? Where is? Where does.
- Over the wings: Less motion.
- Front of the plane: A smoother ride.
- Avoid the rear: More turbulent.
Where should you avoid sitting on a plane?
Ugh, flying. Last year, July 2023, I was on a Spirit Airlines flight from Newark to Orlando. My sister, Sarah, insisted on those back seats, 28B and 28C, cheap seats, she said. Big mistake.
The turbulence was insane. I mean, seriously insane. I felt like a ragdoll. My stomach was doing backflips. Sarah? She was green. Green! The entire back of the plane was bouncing around like a bouncy castle in a hurricane.
Avoid the back. Seriously. It's a much rougher ride.
The flight attendants looked pale, even they were struggling. People were screaming, kids crying... it was a disaster. I swear, I almost threw up. The whole experience was horrific. I'll never forget it. The front of the plane seemed way calmer. I saw some folks up there looking pretty relaxed.
Choose a seat over the wings or towards the front next time. This is what I'm telling everyone, trust me. Lesson learned. It's worth paying extra for a better flight, especially for long hauls. The peace of mind is priceless compared to the vomit-inducing horror show I endured.
Things I learned from that terrifying flight:
