Why No One Should Swap Seats on a Plane

During takeoff, pilots must know the distribution of weight on the plane to make exact calculations. If these calculations are off even the slightest, there are chances that the aircraft can crash while leaving the ground. So before nestling in a more comfortable or spacious spot, ask a cabin crew member if you're allowed to do so.

SUMMARY:
- If the calculations are off even the slightest, there are chances that the aircraft can crash while leaving the ground.
- By the way, if the airport staff load baggage incorrectly, for example, in the rear compartment instead of the front one, it can also mess with the plane's balance.
- Always secure your tray table as soon as the plane starts moving on the tarmac, and never lower it during takeoff and landing.
- Like a lowered tray table, a reclined seat can seriously slow down an evacuation since it’ll block the person sitting behind you.
- If you’re on a larger aircraft, you have higher chances of surviving a possible accident.
- Remember that sitting near an emergency exit means not only more leg room but also more responsibility. That's why only able-bodied adults can occupy such seats.
- Follow cabin crew instructions to open window shades during takeoff and landing. This way, flight attendants can see what's happening outside.
- Fly non-stop without connections if you can. An overwhelming majority of plane crashes happen during the first 3 and last 8 minutes of the flight.
- Wearing proper clothing will reduce your risks during air travel. Try to wear clothes made of natural fibers such as wool, cotton, leather, and denim.
- Prepare a "run kit" and make sure it's with you at all times. Such a kit should contain your passport, wallet, cell phone, credit cards and cash, any necessary medications, and a list of emergency contacts.
- Don't stuff heavy objects into overhead lockers. They can fall out during severe turbulence and injure you or other passengers.
- If you see some suspicious activity or strange-looking packages, immediately inform the cabin crew.
- It might be a waste of time to look for the safest seat on the plane because it probably doesn’t exist.

Hi BrightSiders! Do you swap seats if someone asks?
-
Bright side: don't seat swap Me: ill do anything for the window seat
-
Before this I wasn't even aware that I could swap my seats in a plane.

Yes, you shouldn't swap seats without asking cabin crew. But it does not mean the aircraft will have balance issues, a long as you move forward and back and stay in the same side of the aircraft, pilots won't have a problem correcting the balance by trimming the aircraft. (Trim is basically what elevator attitude the plane has, if it is trimmed positively the plane will have an easier time taking off, so if the weight changes in the cabin all that pilots will do is from the aircraft.)

Thank you for this video, this makes me feel more safe about getting on a plane for the first time in years to fly from Georgia to illinois to she my father's side of the family every summer as i mainly live with my mother. They have been trying to get me to fly because its less likely to get onto an accident in the air then on the ground but i have still been very scared about it so thanks for this. Its makes me feel better about this.☺❤

There’s so much behind swapping seats great info✌️

“The more prepared you are the less likely it is going to happen” works for this case but not all the time like when you’re prepared for your test and it is less likely to happen u will pass.

Video: “Don’t seat swap” Also video: “Try to find the safest seat”

You: *switches seats* Pilots: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA YOU DOOMED US ALL!

We actually swapped seats upon requirement...me, mum, papa and my elder brother were traveling. Tickets were booked together for mum and papa and separately for me n my bhaiya. So We all got far away seats from each other i got the window one and so asked the person in the middle if he can swap seat with bhaiya and he agreed n told, okay we have to discuss it with attendant too. And she also allowed. It was my first ever flight. I was so happy. Thanks to that kind man!😇❤️

I'm an aerospace engineer, and trust me that doesn't matter at all, because there are autopilots that accomodate such changes in aerodynamic centre. Feel free to change seats and move around. It won't be a very big problem until and unless all passengers start running around edges of the aircraft. It will be sudden and confuse the autopilot🚀✨

Me: can i go to the toilet? Pilot: we’re all gonna die!!!

Ok boomer

This was a very interesting and important video keep it up
-
Thank you for this information about planes.
-
Not sure how they “balance” the passenger weight on a plane when you can check in online and choose your own seat. They don’t ask for your height and weight before you do this. I call BS.

Me: Goes to the bathroom Plane: EXPLODES

This really informed me thank you bright side!
