When traveling on an airplane, each of us has different preferences regarding our seat. Some want to be near the window so they can see the clouds and towns below during travel. Others prefer to sit in the aisle so they can stretch their legs. No matter where your military discount airline ticket takes you, here are some tips for finding the best airplane seats according to various criteria.
For sleeping, first and business class are the best choices. However, even a discount airline ticket for these sections may be too expensive for some military travelers to afford. When traveling with the masses, select a window seat because it offers pillow space between the seat and the bulkhead of the plane. It is difficult to get out to visit the lavatory so attend to those needs before boarding the plane.
Anyone who is tall should select a rear window exit seat. This often must be done by booking directly through the airline or calling immediately before or after purchasing the discounted airline ticket online. Make sure the seat is in the rear of8the plane because the forward area seats do not recline.
Aisle seats are the best bets for those who need arm room. They also require you to be accommodating to those in your row who must visit the bathroom. Aisle seats in other than a bulkhead or window exit row are best for travelers with two carryon bags. Feet can be placed in the aisle for additional legroom.
Some travelers require an electrical outlet to plug in their DVD player, laptop, or gaming console. The SeatGuru Web site maps out the locations of these outlets on planes used by major airlines. Make these reservations through the airline or check availability with them immediately before or after purchasing a ticket online.
