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. It's entertainment: it says nothing about comfort, exits or anything else on this page. Your birth details stay in your browser.

Birth time and flight time (optional)

Birth time pins down your moon sign and nakshatra (the moon changes sign every two to three days). Flight date and time show that day's Rahu Kalam.

Pitch is the distance from one seat to the same point on the seat in front. About 28–29 in is tight, 30–32 in is standard economy, 34 in or more is roomy.

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 22–32. 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 6–9, 22–27 are more than five rows from any exit.

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.
