DavidC 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2007 It always puzzle me as to why the seat numbering for narrow body aircrafts of 3 x 3 seating configuration begins 5A, 5B, 5C and 5D, 5E, 5F but when you board a wide bodied aircarft of 2 x 4 x 2 seating configuration, the number of A,B,C becomes only 5A, 5C leaving our the 5B. Can someone please provide explanation? DavidC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KK Lee 5 Report post Posted December 27, 2007 To make seat plan simple for reservation system and permit last minute aircraft swap without creating chaos to those with pre-assigned seats. e.g. TG operate 772 and 333 on BKK/KUL, TG 772 EY seat configuration is 3-3-3 and 333 is 2-4-2. Typical seat letters are; A333 AC-DEFG-HK, 777 ABC-DEG-HJK, 774 ABC-DEFG-HJK Just my 2 cents Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kenneth T 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 In my opinion, B will be the middle seat and if there's only window and aisle seats then B will not be available. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pieter C. 5 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 David, have u seat on row 13 ? KLM and KLM cityhopper do not have a row 13 on board ... Noticed on Tiger A320 seatplan there is a row 13...probably Asians are less 'paranoid' about this "unlucky" # Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny world this ! For Chinese, 8s (prosperous), 3s (alive and well), 9s (longevity) are desirable 4s (death) and 7s (silly) aren't.

Can someone please provide explanation? DavidC Here is what I think.On a narrowbody "A" is window and C is "aisle". So if you board, say a Fokker 50, they skip B so that you know you get to choose A for Window and C for aisle.Same goes for Airbus 330, seats are arranged with A then C.I think it is universally known that A is when you get the Window and C the aisle while B means you are the meat patty between the bun.Just don't quote me...hehehe! If you check MAS seatplans. Even in C class of the B734 seats are numbered 1A and C skipping B because B does not exsist.You ould compare MAS 777 and SIA 777, MH has the 2X5X2 hance the 11 A,C- D,E,F,G,H-J,K while SQ in their 3X3X3. Numbers their seats as ABC-DEG-HJK. I guess it doesn't matter that they skip F beacuse it is the middle seat while H is still the aisle regardless of the configuration.Hope it answer your question.
