Plane Shui Explains Mysteries Behind Airplane Seating Preferences

It is extremely rare to encounter a traveller who doesn’t care where they sit on a flight. Most of us have well-established seating preferences. But why?

FlightNetwork® consulted Feng Shui expert Tila Silverio to investigate how this ancient Chinese art could influence your choice of the best seat on a plane, and created this handy Plane Shui calculator to help you determine the section of the aircraft that suits you best.

 

Plane Shui

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese philosophy dating back over 5,000 years that is based on the principle that energy (Chi) flows through everything and everyone, and that its different frequencies affect everything we do, including our selection of airplane seats.

According to Tila Silverio, everyone is born into one of these “energies” or elements, and they very much determine your personality and choices in life, such as why you always choose the same coffee cup, why you always sit in the same spot in your living room, or why you sit where you do during flights.

To discover a person’s element, one must first determine their Kua number, which is calculated based on the individual’s year of birth and their gender. Each Kua number corresponds to an element – Water, Fire, Metal, Earth, or Wood – that has specific traits associated with it.

But you don’t have to worry about any of that because you can use our nifty calculator above. Go ahead and check your Plane Shui, and learn that perhaps there’s an ancient Chinese secret behind why you like to sit where you do.

    they gave me lower right of the plane, the back!! which I NEVER sit in the back of the plane always as close to front as possible and always a window seat whether left or right side! wonder if I will enjoy flying more if I do sit in the back lower right of the plane…I don't like flying, but do it regularly cause I have to! :( (

    You love to be in the middle of everything! Your seat of choice will be in the middle section of the airplane, but you may also choose the right upper side, close to the doors just in case your help may be needed, or the lower left side of the airplane (almost like an imaginary diagonal line through the centre of the airplane.) You love taking care of others and will happily engage your seatmate in conversation, mainly to offer unsolicited life advice to a total stranger. Works for me

    Glad your Plane Shui suits you to a T!

    “Plane” Shui? Haha, that’s so amusing! Most passengers worry about where they’ll be seated in a plane, usually because they need the space to move, or because they like looking out the window. Others choose seats that make the lavatory easier to access for them, while others like to sit where their sleep will be less disturbed. Either way, it always comes down to personal preferences, and it would be pretty cool if there were in fact some sort of force or “chi” that influences our preferences as passengers!
