Knowing the place where you sit before going aboard allows you to find out details of a specific seat from extra legroom to missing windows or any other details. This happens very often due the lack of details that each airline is publishing about their airplanes or because people that fly don’t consult an aircraft seat map before they book a ticket.Īirplane and airline seat charts can be really handy for frequent fliers and help them to choose their seat in the airplane even before they buy their tickets. Many people that fly for pleasure or for business purposes have to sit in an airplane for 2-3 hours or sometimes even longer, depending on the trip that they make, and during the flight, seating in an uncomfortable area or section in the airplane can be uncomfortable. If you're a frequent United customer, check out Economy Plus Access, which allows you to reserve economy plus for yourself and a guest for a full year of travel. Premium economy: When passengers are checking in, United Airlines sometimes offers them upgrades to 'Economy Plus,' which has up to 5 inches more leg room, for relatively little money. Mere mortals can book them within 24 hours of flight time.Īmerican Airlines also sells other 'premium' seating for $5 to $25 per leg within the 48 states (the fee may be higher for Hawaii, Alaska, and international routes). Frequent flyers on Northwest get to reserve these seats when booking, for free if they're 'elite' members. Northwest and AirTran will sell you an exit row seat, with more leg room than in first class, for $15-20.

Pay for exit rows: wSome people think it's obnoxious to charge for what was once free, but this perk is well worth it.

Some airlines have 32 or even 31 inches between seats. JetBlue has added extra legroom on its Airbus jets, with at least a 36-inch seat pitch in the first 11 rows of its Airbus 320 fleet and at least 34 inches in rows 12-25 (seat pitch is the distance between any one point on the seat and that same point in the row ahead or behind).
