Things You'll Need:
- Travel Guides
- Airline Tickets
-
Step 1
Request bulkhead seats'those behind the dividing walls of a plane'or a seat by one of the emergency exits if you want more leg room.
-
Step 2
Choose an aisle seat for easier access to the overhead storage compartment and lavatories, as well as for faster disembarking.
-
Step 3
Consider sitting near the lavatories if you are traveling with children.
-
Step 4
Opt for the back of the plane if you want to sprawl out; there are usually fewer people in the back.
-
Step 5
Sit toward the front if you want to get off the plane faster, which could be important if you're trying to make a tight connection. The front of the plane also tends to be a quieter ride.
-
Step 6
Choose a seat toward the wings, which are the stability point for the plane, if motion sickness is a potential problem.
-
Step 7
Sit near the galleys if you want early snack, beverage or meal service.

on 11/22/2005 Your airline's website often has seat charts for your aircraft. You can also try www.seatguru.com or www.seatexpert.com for seat charts and information. Call your airline to book a seat. If you are an elite flyer on that airline, there are blocks of seats reserved for elites, including exit rows (on some airlines).

on 11/22/2005 In tight quarters: give yourself the suggestion before hand that you will cat-nap. If you want a 'good nights sleep' your body will be fooled and you will not have one. It is vital that you suggest to the mind that cat-napping will be good; it works!
