Lucky seat Just for fun

Picks a lucky section and seat from your birth date. Choose Vedic (moon sign and nakshatra), Western (sun sign) or Chinese zodiac: the element of your sign picks the section, numerology picks the seat. Add your flight date to see Rahu Kalam.

Cabin sections and crash studies

No seat is reliably safest. In two small US studies (37 crashes, 1971–2007), passengers in the rear third of the cabin died less often than those further forward; on this aircraft that is rows 24–34. Results depend heavily on the type of accident, and the FAA says there is no safest seat. The most consistent finding is sitting within about five rows of an exit; rows 6, 18, 29 are more than five rows from any exit.

Section	Rows	Crash-study pattern	Seats within 5 rows of an exit
Front	1–11	Higher (front and middle don't differ consistently)	54 of 60
Middle	12–23	Higher (front and middle don't differ consistently)	60 of 66
Rear	24–34	Lower in both studies	57 of 63

Which version will I get?

A flight number alone does not tell you. The aircraft registration does, and it is usually known only close to departure.
