el asiento

Meaning

El asiento means the seat, especially your assigned seat on a plane, bus, or train. In travel contexts it often connects to location (window/aisle) and comfort.

Common Phrases

• asiento junto a la ventana — seat next to the window

Me tocó un asiento junto a la ventana.

I got a seat next to the window.

Common Mistake

Confusing asiento with silla: el asiento is the standard word for your seat assignment on transport, not la silla.
