We once had a screaming kid the whole way from SYD to HNL. You can imagine our dismay when they were also on our return flight a week later 😭

Counterpoint on this one

They are looking for the location of the seat row numbers. This can vary between aircraft and airlines.

Makes sense to orient yourself as soon as you have entered the aircraft, and work out where to look, so that you can easily spot it when you get closer to your row.

People do the same thing in cinemas and sport stadiums.

YMMV
