Hi Frank,

What you seat on will be, un siège, as the chair you sit on where rows of them have been placed for that purpose in a cinema, a plane or a bus.

But if you talk of a 50- seat coach you will use 'place' as this link illustrates -

Hope this helps!

For planes? ( In many places, coach refers to a tour bus, not economy class on planes).

Siège/s (d’avion) en classe économique, although anglicismes are rife in this terminology now !
