jump seats
Folding extra chairs
Jump seats are auxiliary seats that fold down or out of the way when not in use, typically found in vehicles, aircraft, or theaters where space is limited.
In cars, they often face sideways or rearward in the cargo area; in aircraft, flight attendants use them during takeoff and landing.
The term sometimes extends to any temporary or secondary seating arrangement: We squeezed into the jump seats for the short flight.
