More space for comfort: 6 ways to make legroom on an airplane
Some travelers who want to feel better during the flight book seats in first class or order an upgrade. For extra money, such seats allow you to allocate aisle seats with more legroom, which allows you to stretch your legs during the flight.
All this is definitely important, especially during long-distance flights when passengers are forced to stay in one position for a long period of time. The Seattle Times offers 6 methods that experienced travelers use to improve flight conditions.
Pay a little extra
Of course, you can buy an extra seat, but you should first check for special offers or consider seats that are available without a neighbor. For example, some major airlines may sell economy seats with extra legroom, which usually cost more than a standard ticket.
Push your luck
You can choose seats in the aisle and near the window so that there is a free space in the middle. This method is used by couples who hope to play the situation in their favor. However, you should be prepared that this method may not work, especially during the high season.
Front seat
The front seat is considered to be one of the best positions for boarding. This way, you can quickly hide your belongings in the overhead compartments and take your seat while others may have to put their bags away from their seat. It is difficult to book a seat in the front row, so you need to be quick about it.
Rear seat
The advantage of this seat is the ability to recline the seat back without potential consequences. This way, you can avoid aggression from the passengers behind you and put your legs up freely. In addition, in such a place you can count on an empty middle due to the reluctance of people to book a seat near the toilet.
Strategy
You can get free seats with more legroom during the low season and on certain days of the week. In particular, you can travel to vacation destinations in the middle of the week, and to more business areas on Saturdays or on an evening flight.
Seat map
You can view the current seat map on board using resources such as SeatGuru and aeroLOPA. They will help you determine where you can find seats with extra legroom and find out if they are available on a particular flight.
