What Is a Window Seat and a Row on a Plane?

Traveling by plane? Then you’ve probably seen the words window seat and row when choosing where to sit. But what do they actually mean?

In this funny video, Luke wants a better seat—one where he can look outside. He asks the airline worker, Isabella, for help. When she says “window seat,” he finally understands! But then she mentions “row 15”… and he’s confused again.

Here’s the quick travel English guide:
• A window seat is the seat next to the airplane window, perfect for watching clouds.
• A row is a line of seats, like in a movie theater or airplane. For example, row 15 is the 15th line of seats.

These words are helpful when flying or booking tickets. Knowing them will make your travel smoother and less stressful.
