I sat within the again row of the airplane and it turned out to be one of many worst flights of my life. Now, I'll all the time pay for a seat upfront.

I’ve taken dozens of flights previously yr alone and most of my experiences have been nice. Issues had been completely different on a latest flight after I ended up behind the airplane.

As Insider’s journey reporter in Singapore, and as an avid explorer in my free time, I fly rather a lot — and, more often than not, on funds airways. As a frequent flyer, I attempt to save cash — particularly on short-haul flights — so I typically ebook the most affordable tickets potential.

Low-fare tickets usually include simply the seat, and there are not any add-ons like check-in baggage, pre-booked seats, or in-flight meals. Regardless of this, I’ve discovered myself having extra constructive experiences than adverse ones flying bare-bones.

Even when the flight wasn’t an ideal expertise general, the problems I’ve encountered have been fairly minor — nothing greater than having to pay for extra baggage or the routine turbulence which may come up whatever the airline.
