Airline Seat Selection Tips:Whether you fly a lot or barely fly at all, I don’t know about you, but airline seat selection and the seat I choose (and or get) is extremely important to me for many reasons. I don't like having to sit in a middle seat or a window seat, especially on long flight. I want to make sure I have as much leg room as possible for an economy ticket and that generally means selecting an aisle seat. Although you can choose your seat, you can't choose who sits near you. Traveling can be taxing on your body - cramped quarters and desert-dry, recycled air on the plane, disrupted sleep cycles, unusual foods and often less sanitary conditions can impact circulation and weaken our immune systems. Check out these travel solutions on Magellans.com Now that you have everything you need for a comfortable flight, it's time to get down to the actual seat selection.

Whenever I fly Southwest Airlines 737s , my favorite domestic airline, I have my favorite “secret seats.” Now if you’ve never flown Southwest before and you’re not familiar with their boarding policies, understand that you cannot reserve seats in advance. What I always do is check in online exactly 24 hours in advance of my flight and I generally end up in the first boarding group and then I can chose my “secret seat” and my sweet spot on the Southwest 737 is in an exit row. My secret seat is 11E because there is no seat on my right (where the window seat usually is) and if you have business to do with your laptop, you get an extra tray table in the back of seat 10F. Also, row 10 does not recline since it borders the exit row so you don’t have your immediate space being intruded upon by a reclining chair. The second “secret seat” on this aircraft would be 12F since there is no 11F and if you’re really tall, you can really get extra legroom. In general, I also love Southwest as their 737’s have generous legroom in every aisle (as compared to most other airlines that now see this as a revenue center and are charging extra for it.) Airline and Seat Comparison Charts Now, Seat Guru has put together some great airline and seat comparison charts so whether you’re booking your ticket online or you’re going through a travel agent, you can review these charts while you’re booking your flight to make sure you’re getting the best seat on the plane when you can (for no extra charges). Remember to look for the “Green” seats.
