airline seat
Cabin passenger's spot
A seat on a commercial aircraft, typically arranged in rows and assigned by number and letter.
Airline seats vary by class—economy seats are notoriously cramped, while business and first-class seats offer more room and recline further.
I got stuck in a middle airline seat for the eight-hour flight.
The term also appears in discussions of booking and upgrades: Airline seats fill up fast during holidays.
