Row 13?

Hear at Manchester we don’t have a gate 13

Cannot believe that airlines and aircraft manufacturers give in to this sort of bs in the year of 2006. I regard this as an insult to all aerospace engineers, pilots and mechanics having developed/are working with the aircraft.

A bit OTT, considering its the airlines that decide if row 13 is numbered as such.

In anycase you’d be surprised as to how superstitious the industry can be – engineers and pilots included!

Just checked A380 – 10 operators/airlines – 8 with no ‘Row 13’ but a few have got Galley 13 so some people will have to forget about eating!!!!!!

Calm down mate, like numerous people have said, its all about that small minority who would kick up a fuss…

Ops, maybe I should make it clearer than I was flying BHX-BFS as they were flying BFS-ACE, and we were both in 6A :d

Incidentally I was assigned seat 6A recently flying back home and simulatenously another family member was assigned seat 6A flying ACE-BFS, freaky or what 😀

Nah, sounds more like the check-in staff just cocked-up 😉

VLM Fokker 50’s have a Row 13 (and it’s the last row too!)

We have row 13 on our aircraft and from time to time people do ask not to sit there. I won’t tell you what I’m thinking while I’m trying to reseat them on a full aircraft.

Very interesting post, I shall be flying alot in the next few months so i shall report on my findings 🙂

Did Ryanair last week STN-HHN deffo NO row 13 on that aircraft.

A225HVY

Hmm interesting. All the RYRs should be the same. Anyway, that’s one less thing to remember tomorrow, Thank You. 😀

99% sure Ryanair have a row 13…will check tomorrow.

I flew out in row 13 to FUE a few weeks back on an FCA321

flyBe don’t have row 13 on their aircraft.

I suppose there are those who wouldn’t sit in it, so to avoid any fuss just skip actually numbering a row 13 out.

The Excel Airways Boeing 767-300 dosnt have a row 13

I’m not superstitous but i’m thinking although its not numbered “13” your still in the thirteenth row right? – I was in Pod 14, the thirteenth on the London Eye which also doesn’t number it

In this modern day and age…people still believe that superstitous (sp?) hocus pocus?

I keep meaning to look each time I fly but forget, though I did notice G-OGBE bmibaby 733 didn’t have a row 13.
