How it's used
This term refers specifically to the highest, most distant seating area in a venue, often called the nosebleed section in English. It carries a sense of being far removed from the action, and while it is sometimes chosen for its lower price, it is also associated with a lack of proximity to the stage or field.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with literally sitting on an airplane, as the term is strictly idiomatic to venue seating. It is not used to describe the actual seats inside an aircraft cabin.
