SAS ATR-72 - I need seat recommendations
Posted by idekbuthereiam@reddit | aviation | View on Reddit | 9 comments
Hello Avgeeks!
So I just booked a round trip to my family over the holidays and will be flying an Airbus A320neo on the way there and an ATR-72 on the way back.
For the Airbus A320neo I picked 16A to have a good view of ailerons, flaps and spoilers. However, I haven’t picked a seat for the ATR-72 yet.
I am SUPER excited that I will FINALLY be flying a prop plane, so I want to make sure that I get the best possible seat. I want to be able to have a clear view of the turboprop engine, landing gears, ailerons and flaps. What seat would y’all recommend?

Anywhere middle to back. You board at the rear so these seats tend to be taken first.

Looking at pictures of the ATR-72 I’m thinking like row 9-10, would that be a solid choice?

Maybe even a bit further back; all you can really see are the flaps, the gear in underneath.

This will help you choose

Thank you so much! Those seat maps on the booking sites are always so misleading, so I really appreciate this!

IIRC you can't really see the gear from inside the cabin of the ATR - you want a Q300/Q400 for that.
It's high-wing so anywhere under/just behind the wing works pretty well.

Yeah I was thinking maybe like row 8-10?

SAS have been known to board using the jet bridge and rear staircase at the same time. I can recommend 20 and back on their 320's (CEO and NEO)
