It’s Friday the 13th – What Row Number are YOU Sitting In?

November 13, 2009 | Posted in: Airplanes, Travel Myths

First, let me just state, I am not superstitious.

But I always enjoy reading about travel myths and legends – and I was delighted to see an article in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer about airlines, and whether they allow their seat rows to be numbered “13″.

According to the paper, AirTran, Continental, Alaska and others do not have a “row 13″ – and Lufthansa doesn’t have a row 13 or a row 17, because in Italy and Brazil, 17 is an unlucky number.

I hate to be the one to point this out but, point it out I must: on these 13-less airplanes, if you are sitting in row 14, you are sitting in 13!

Safe travels…
