I love sitting in the back of a long-haul flight. Here's why I'd choose that row any day.
Briefly

Choosing a seat on long-haul flights is challenging, but the back row can be surprisingly favorable. While typically frowned upon for short flights due to noisy bathrooms, many long-haul airlines have relocated bathrooms. This means fewer disturbances in the back, making it quieter. The proximity to the galley allows for easy stretching, and the chance of having an empty seat adjacent is higher. Thus, for long flights, the back rows offer unexpected benefits that enhance comfort and serenity during extended travel.
Some long-haul planes don't have bathrooms in the back, so it's the quietest spot. Plus, it's close to the galley for stretching.
On shorter flights, the bathroom is one of the biggest gripes about the back row of a plane... constant flushing, concerning noises, and unwelcome smells.
For flights with a bathroom in the back, that's the last place I want to be. But on recent long-haul carriers, the bathrooms haven't been in the back.
I realized it would've been even quieter if I had been farther back since the only people heading to the back of the aircraft were flight attendants.
