airplane seat

Cabin passenger spot

An airplane seat is a designated place for a passenger on an aircraft.

The term often appears in discussions of comfort, class distinctions, and booking: I got an airplane seat with extra legroom, She always requests a window airplane seat.

Airplane seats vary by class—economy seats are notoriously cramped, while business and first-class seats offer more space and recline.
