Choosing the perfect airplane seat is an acquired skill, though more often than not it’s a gamble. Whether you prefer window or aisle, the ultimate prize on a crammed budget flight is extra legroom. We’ve broken down Jet2’s standard seating map to point out the best and the worst seats for those looking to stretch their legs—without having to stroll up and down the aisle.

If you’re flying Jet2, you are likely flying on a Boeing 737-800 which has . This equates to a total of 189 seats, all of which are economy class. While this type of aircraft is equipped with Acro seats designed to provide more space and comfort for passengers, there are some seats with superior legroom and location.

Exact seats for best legroom

The main seats you should avoid are on Row 33—the very last row of the aircraft. These seats will have limited recline and are located directly in front of the toilets. And because this aircraft only houses loos at the very front and back of the plane, you can expect quite a bit of leg traffic. If you’re not bothered by proximity to the lavatory and flight attendant galleys, then anything in Row 1 and 2 is ideal for extra legroom. More specifically, Row 1 Seats A, B and C and Row 2 Seats C, D, E and F.

Row 2 Seats D, E and F will ensure extra legroom given the position of the bulkhead. Though it should be noted that there is no floor storage for these seats during takeoff and landing. Additionally, the tray tables are situated within the armrests of these seats, slightly reducing their width. The best seats in the house are in Rows 16 and 17, offering extra legroom without the proximity to the lavatories and galleys. These seats are situated around the exit doors.

It should be noted though that seats in Rows 16 and 17 will be slightly reduced in width due to the armrests housing the tray tables and may also require an additional fee when booking. Generally speaking, the legroom on Jet2’s standard flights are decent, especially considering these are typically short-haul flights. One Jet2 passenger who flew from Glasgow to Rome writes, “The leg room/ distance between rows cannot be argued with (better than some long haul flights I've been on), but it comes at the price of less substantial seats.”
