When we all fly, the first thing that we think about is most likely, “comfort”.  While a lot of us have flown before, the chances of us flying the same exact plane time after time is fairly rare.  So, what happens if you’re looking to pick out the best airline seats on board?

Do your homework – With websites such as SeatExpert, and SeatGuru, it’s not hard to find out what your plane is all about.  When you’re booking your airline ticket, you will want to make sure that you take a close look at your plane’s number.  These websites will then guide you to the worst seats on the plane.  All of these reviews will come from other passengers like you, and I.

Look at the hot spots, as well as the cold spots on the plane.  You’ll then want to choose which one will be best from you.  This is the first factor though.  Just because the spot has a good review, it doesn’t mean it’s the best seat on the plane.

Window, middle, or aisle? Ah, this is the question, and this really comes down to the personal choice for each person.  Myself, I fly a lot alone, so I like the aisle.  This way, I can get up as much as I want, and not have to worry about bothering my row, but then again, I have to worry about a flight attendant walking up and down the aisle 1,000 times.

A while ago, I wrote a post on Window vs Aisle, and gave some positive points, as well as some negative points.  Decide which one you want, but I can tell you this much that the middle seat choice is always a bad one 99.9% of the time.

Consider the little things - You may think that the exit row is a bad thing, but it generally isn’t the case.   Sure, you’ll be responsible in opening a door in case of an emergency, but you will also find that get lots of leg room.  Another thing to consider is the first row in coach, as you have no one ahead of you.  Beware though, you will soon find out that the many airlines are charging passengers as a premium policy.

Airline seats are fairly easy to pick out.  Use those website resources listed above, decide if you want an aisle, or window seat, and really, that is all that you’ll need to do.  If it’s your first time flying, and you don’t know what you’ll want, you just have to simply learn by mistakes!
