For flights that go the distance
Book smart. If your
aircraft has a 2-4-2 seating, most people take the two-seaters at the ends.
Book the aisle seats in the 4-seat row instead, chances are the middle two will
go vacant and you’ll have more room to stretch out mid-flight.

If you pre-pay the
airline, you pay much less for excess baggage. Great for a return shopping
trip, or if you have a connecting local flight after an international one.
Rachel Lopez A seat above
the wing is the safest (though all seats are safe). Remember that some long-leg
seats don’t recline, neither do the last seats. To get first pickings for
inflight meals, book seats in the front or the middle. They normally get served
first.

Order your in-flight meal
online while booking. Your meal will probably be served earlier and on a local
flight, you don’t have to fish for the right change.

Flying with another
person? Book the window and aisle seat in a three-seat row. There is a good
chance that the middle seat stays vacant, giving you both the whole row. If
someone does get that seat, you can always ask them to switch.
Check seat dimensions,
especially on long haul flights. The widest seat and most legroom will let you
stretch and use a laptop comfortably.
If your flight’s full,
board early. You’ll find more space for cabin baggage in the overhead bins.

Weekday afternoon flights
are the cheapest.
The best time to fly
domestically is 9am especially in winter.
Opt for a nonstop flight,
even if it costs more. Direct flights are less likely to be cancelled.
