Peter Greenberg shares the best coach seat numbers to get on a variety of aircraft. These ‘secret seats’ aren’t the emergency exit or aisle seats either.

Here’s a full list of the secret seats by airline and aircraft:

  • American Airline 767 – (Domestic flights only) 17H and 17J
  • American 757 – 10A and 10F
  • Delta 757 – 20A
  • United 757 – 8A

  • Northwest 757 – 16F and 15E
  • USAir 737 – 11A and 11F
  • United 767 -(Business class only) 10A and 10F

To get detailed information about any seat on a plane before a flight check out SeatGuru. Better yet, be your own seat guru and get the best seat on any flight, even if you get bumped or miss a connection.

    If you get to try this let me know how it goes. I think my next opportunity will be in early November. (I didn’t get my chance on my second flight yesterday :(
