TripMama's Guide to Getting the Best Airline Seats on Your Flight
We all desire more legroom and elbow room on our bargain flights, whether it is for reclining into a comfortable doze on those long-haul trips, or simply the appreciation of personal space.  The seats available to most of us are surprisingly not created equal; seats can differ by several inches in space.  While that may not sound much to some, a few inches are the difference between being able to open your laptop only halfway, or enjoying a comfortable viewing angle; between being unable to even cross your legs, or moving them around easily.  The seating arrangement, if left alone, is largely decided at random by the airline.  Rather than leave things up to chance, there are several ways to get the best offer without breaking the bank.  Check out our travel tips for getting the best seats possible.
