Which sounds more natural?
"Luckily, I spotted an empty seat and took it."
vs. "Luckily, I located an empty seat and took it."
vs. "Luckily, I found an empty seat and took it."

Question

Answer

My suggestion, in decreasing order of natural-ness: spotted, saw, found, noticed, located.

Answer

All these sentences are correct, but the first and the last sound more natural. "Located" sounds more formal to me and would not often be used in informal speech.
