Watch for the swap
Airlines change aircraft all the time. The 1A you picked on a 767 ends up a middle on the 737 they swap in. We catch it the moment it happens.

FAQ
Common questions
- Which side of the plane has the best view from Los Angeles to Sydney?
- We haven't curated a view-side pick for LAX to SYD yet. Try our view-side picker for the closest match, or send us a tip if you've flown it.
- What aircraft fly LAX to SYD?
- Usually narrow-bodies (737, A320, A321) for shorter routes and wide-bodies (757, 767, A330) for longer ones. The exact aircraft depends on the carrier and time of day. Open your specific flight in the seat map to see what's scheduled and whether it's been swapped.
- What are the best seats on LAX to SYD?
- It depends on the aircraft, not the route. A 1A on a 767 is a lie-flat suite. A 1A on a 737 is a bulkhead with no foot rest. Open the specific aircraft and look at the green-coded seats — bulkheads, exit rows with extra legroom, seats away from the lavs.
- Are there windowless 'window' seats on this route?
- Sometimes, depending on the aircraft. A handful of 'window' seats on Delta and United jets are actually a wall — both airlines are being sued over it. We list every one we've found.
- Will my aircraft change before I fly LAX to SYD?
- It might. Airlines swap aircraft regularly, and that can wreck your seat. SeatWise Pro emails you the moment yours swaps so you can re-pick before anyone else notices.
