On an airplane how come the seats are A, C and no B?

It depends on the size and configuration of the aircraft.
For example an Embraer ERJ45 has only 2 seats to either side of the aisle.A,C,D,F
A Boeing 737 usually has 3 seats on either side of the aisle A,B,C,D,E,F
A Boeing 747 in the main cabin has a total of 10 seats across the aircraft split by 2 aisles.A,B,C D,E,F,G H,J,K.
You will note that the letter I is not used.This is to stop any confusion between the letter and the number 1.
That may sound silly but after 13 years of working at an airport,you would not believe how stupid some passengers can be.

Because the letters mean something.
A is window seat
B is middle seat and
C is aisle seat....

If the plane you are on does not have a middle seat they skip the B and just have A-window and C-aisle....

A is always the window seat, on the "drivers" side of the plane
B is always the middle seat on that side
C is always the aisle seat on that side.

If you are flying on a plane that does not have three seats on that side <no middle seat> then the seats are A and C, because there is no B on that configuration of seats.

On some of the older planes the b was the aslie. there were one seat on one side and two on the other side. this comes from smaller planes and a being the single side b being the asle and c and d being the rows on the othere side.

I have never been on an aeroplane which didn't have 'B' seats.

some planes have a 'B'. It sounds like you have not flown on with many airlines.

Any airplane i've been on goes...A....B....C....D.....E.....F...!!

There's a really good site about flight seats called www.seatguru.com

I think most of the planes on that do have a seat B.

probably you are on a two seater plane tthats why. Big passenger planes got those letters in a seating arrangement.

Strange and I know what you mean. On a JAL 747 it goes

ABC DEFG HJK and no I. Its strange. MAbye you were flying a forigen airline and there language does not have B although most airlines now use English. Strange, youll have to ask someone like a piolit or a Flight Atendent.

In the first-class cabin, some airlines letter the seats A, C, D, F and some pick A, B, C, D. There are 4 seats per row in First and 6 in coach in the kind of plane you are talking about. So first uses less letters. The ones that have B and E removed do it because it is less confusing for the coach passengers who are boarding--- if C is on the left in first-class but on the right in coach then people end up in the wrong seats which slows down boarding.

Not sure what airlines you fly on, but every plane I've been on has A, B, C, D, E, F, etc...

Every plane I have travelled on has a B...what airline did you travel on?

It is because on some aircrafts, even if the seat config is 3 and 3, down the back of some aircrafts they only put 2 and 2, therfore they will miss the B and just have A and C or D and F.

most planes have b seats, but usually in first class it is taken away so more room can be given to each passenger.

gypsy

every flight ive been booked on has a b c on one side and d e f on the other side. or if its a small plane some times its just a b the c d.

because b's are low flying insects and get altitude sickness!

I flew back from mholiday a cpl of weeks ago and i was on seat B27. Im sure theres a B on every plan ive ever been on. My dad has a plain which he uses to sand doors down and stuff, is that the kinda plain you go on?

Nunya
