Giveaway (now finished), by met on Jan 3, 2016 0:57:55 GMT 1, As some may know from my recent sales thread, I am emigrating soon. I already have a van or twos worth of stuff going to charity, and far too much stuff being put into temporary storage, and I find myself with some final art/art related stuff to get rid of. This stuff is free to whoever wants it, but you have to play the game to get it. Just answer this simple question: What seat number do I have on my flight? Just post your answer on here - one guess per person. Entries close 23:59 Uk time Jan 2nd. No clues as to airline, destination, date or aircraft type. For the avoidance of doubt, my seat is selected already and will not be changing, as it is my favorite seat. I will pay for postage, so this will cost you nothing. If more than one person gets the correct answer I will split the stuff. If no-one gets the correct answer it will go whoever has guessed the nearest seat, or if several people are equally near, then split between them. I will post up a picture of my boarding pass as proof
First, I wish you well with your exciting new adventure. As a general rule, I feel a closer affinity to travellers — especially those willing to risk moving abroad — than to individuals of a more sedentary nature.
Second, I don't want any free stuff and have never entered a forum giveaway. The thread you started grabbed my attention because I'm always curious about what motivates different people. The interest for me with your game is in part the psychology of plane-seat selection.
----------
My thought process:
1. Window seats are more popular than aisle seats, and very few people deliberately choose a middle seat.
Given we haven't been told what type of aircraft you're flying on, we cannot look up the number of seats per row on your plane. If I thought you booked a window seat, it would therefore be best to pick an 'A' seat — as opposed to an 'F' seat, for example, which would mean relying on the unsafe assumption that your plane has six seats per row (3—3).
[In one study, 6A was mentioned as the favourite plane seat, though I don't know to what extent it took into account flights with different travel classes.
About a year and a half ago, EasyJet announced that 7F was its most in-demand seat on European flights. This corresponds to the right-side window seat on EasyJet aircraft (A319 and A320, which have a 3—3 seat layout). My understanding is that, on EasyJet flights, row 7 is the closest to the front that can be reserved for the cheapest reservation price.]
2. There's an obvious clue in your post: the reference to your "favourite seat".
From this, one can deduce that you are a frequent traveller — and a creature of habit, or at least a traveller with very clear preferences. It seems reasonably safe to assume you've made the same or similar flights (perhaps on the same type of aircraft) on many previous occasions.
As a frequent flier, my guess is that you have a preference for seats near the front of the plane — the ones allowing for ease of boarding and, more importantly, rapid disembarking.
Notwithstanding my comments in point 1 above, I suspect you prefer the so-called "power position" of an aisle seat. It has advantages in terms of rapid disembarking, quick access to the overhead compartments, extra legroom, and greater freedom to move around at will (e.g. going to the loo or getting up to stretch your legs). [Although probably not a concern for you specifically, the aisle seat also gives an individual an element of control over passengers in the middle and window seats.]
With frequent fliers in particular, the above benefits can override the different advantages of a window seat: greater privacy, a larger area of personal space, and a view out the window (which may lose its novelty value after numerous flights).
For short-haul flights with a single travel class on aircraft with a 3—3 seat layout, I would put you down as a 1D kind of man. [1D is in my opinion a better seat than 1C, because of its angle to the exit door, and the fact that 1C is often partially blocked by flight crew at the time of disembarkation.]
3. To my mind, your post has a tone of permanence to it, suggesting a move of a significant distance. This impression is reinforced by your use of the word "emigrating", which I associate with an intercontinental upheaval — more so than a transcontinental one, as would be the case with, say, moving to France or Spain.
For British nationals, popular intercontinental emigration destinations are current or former Commonwealth countries where the language barrier is non-existent or minimal.
Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia or New Zealand seem most likely to me. I've made an assumption here, which could easily be incorrect, that your move is driven by work or lifestyle reasons (as opposed to love, which has the power to lead a person pretty much anywhere).
This isn't the best time of year to move to Canada. That leaves an eastern destination (assuming one's world-map view has the Atlantic Ocean at its centre). Hong Kong and Singapore are often more temporary locations, where expats stay a few years before returning home. Given the tone of permanence mentioned above, Australia or New Zealand may be the more likely possible emigration countries. Of these two, Australia is the less geographically and psychologically remote.
However, both Australia and New Zealand are ultra long-haul destinations. Direct / non-stop flights aren't currently available at those distances, and your post referred to "flight" and "seat" in the singular.
So, I need to backtrack here and will just guess that you're taking a London—Singapore or London—Hong Kong flight.
4. I'll make another guess that you're flying with British Airways.
For its London—Singapore and London—Hong Kong routes, I understand the aircraft used (or often used) by BA is the A380. The A380 is divided between four travel classes: First, Club World (Business), World Traveller Plus (Premium Economy), and World Traveller (Economy).
Assuming, perhaps incorrectly, that you chose World Traveller (one of the regular seats) on the Main Deck, I believe you will have opted for a seat either at the front or near the front of that section.
World Traveller has a 3—4—3 seat layout, starting at Row 20. If I placed you in the very front row on the left-hand side, this would be Seat 20C.
However, given the particular layout of the A380, I will place you at Seat 25D (final answer), which has extra legroom because the row in front is missing a seat.
----------
NB: Before revealing your seat number, you may want to double-check all the answers posted in this thread. It's possible for people to edit their posts afterwards without visible evidence of the edit — a problem I tried to raise with this comment.
----------
Many thanks for the fun game, and Bon Voyage!

The main issue is that Ruskr missed the 2 January 23:59 (UK time) deadline.

Fair point. Hadn't spotted that. Usually we point out when numbers have been duplicated. My error.

Giveaway (now finished), by ®at on Jan 3, 2016 13:42:59 GMT 1, I have been watching this thread since I posted it, and I am amazed that no-one got it correct.
Aircraft is a BA 747 and seat is 2K. My boarding pass will be uploaded as concrete proof when I have it, but for now here is a screenshot from the app.
The closest was divejedi with 1K , and a special mention and additional prize is going to met, for an epic and thought provoking answer.
My entire art & record collection and what remains of my life has gone into storage for a while until I settle somewhere, so have no doubt there will be further giveaways at a later date. Of course, should you get a surprise when watching an episode of storage wars sometime in the future, then you know something has gone terribly wrong and somebody is in for a treat.
Thanks everyone.

Met, sorry, you like travelers and people taking planes, but some of us have it the money for that. Let people being poor or humble, and enjoying their life if they can't do it in another way. Trip in a plane or plane a trip are things that a lot of us could not afford. Best.

Giveaway (now finished), by globalplanb on Jan 3, 2016 15:31:01 GMT 1, As some may know from my recent sales thread, I am emigrating soon. I already have a van or twos worth of stuff going to charity, and far too much stuff being put into temporary storage, and I find myself with some final art/art related stuff to get rid of. This stuff is free to whoever wants it, but you have to play the game to get it. Just answer this simple question: What seat number do I have on my flight? Just post your answer on here - one guess per person. Entries close 23:59 Uk time Jan 2nd. No clues as to airline, destination, date or aircraft type. For the avoidance of doubt, my seat is selected already and will not be changing, as it is my favorite seat. I will pay for postage, so this will cost you nothing. If more than one person gets the correct answer I will split the stuff. If no-one gets the correct answer it will go whoever has guessed the nearest seat, or if several people are equally near, then split between them. I will post up a picture of my boarding pass as proof [EDIT] Now closed- winner on page 6 [EDIT]

Trip in a plane or plane a trip are things that a lot of us could not afford. Best. While very hesitant about detracting from the enjoyment of this thread, I do resent your assumptions.
The recurring indulgence in self-pity can be overlooked, and the scope for misunderstanding due to any language barrier is recognised. But your reasoning is fallacious and affirming the consequent. It's like saying, "A duck is a bird, so a bird must therefore be a duck."
My reference to "travellers" should be considered in the broadest sense.
One of my closest friends will be arriving in London on Tuesday evening. She's taking a coach from Brussels, which is a seven-hour journey. She chose to spend her €11 (approx. £8) on a single ticket to travel abroad and explore different surroundings — rather than use that money to go to the cinema, purchase a bottle of wine, or buy a Banksy sticker on eBay.
This is more about mindset and priorities than it is about money.

As one of my favourite philosophers would say, "Woo-hoo!"
The pleasure was in the challenge itself, but I appreciate your generous intent and will accept the consolation prize graciously. This will be similar to losing a sports match at school and yet still receiving a gold star for effort.
While respecting your privacy and not expecting confirmation of where you're moving to, there are additional clues offered in the above post. On the back of these, I'll change my guesses about the possible flight destination, to New York City or San Francisco. Also, new job, but staying with the same employer (or one that is part of the same group of companies as your current employer).
Many thanks again for the game.
