    Number 13

    Premier Inns have no room 13. It always reminds me of M. R. James' ghost story Number 13

    (Tall ones have no floor 13, which at least makes for one less floor to go down when the fire alarm goes off.)

    IIRC most flights have no row 13 either.

      I didn't have a 13th year, which makes me 1 year younger :-)
      Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

        Travelodges do have a room 13 (I checked this morning).

          I sat in row 13 on a couple of flights recently - I can't remember which airlines that was with.

          Looking at my BA flight this Friday there is a row 13.

            Thats not fair. Some of us find there is great luck in the number 13... Why shouldn't I be able to take a room or seat with my lucky number?

              I know KLM don't and often on larger aircraft row 13 would fall between business and cattle so it's easily omitted. Apparently some now leave out row 17 too.

                Looking at Seatguru, you're right - for KLM 747s it's not even that the row falls in a galley area, they just skip it.

                  A lot of streets don't have a 13. I know ours doesn't.
