Helpful Hints for People on the Go ...
The Secret 'Best' Seats:
Towards the back of some airplanes, you'll
find that the blocks of seats may have one less seat in them.
These rows are often considered to be the best seats in coach
class because you have more room, side to side, and sometimes more
room in front of you as well. You are way at the back of the plane
- not otherwise the best part of the plane to be in - but if
you're on a long flight, the extra comfort may be worth the
several extra minutes to get off the plane at the other end.
Why use a Travel Agent? Your
professional and experienced travel agent is your best bet in
pre-booking what is personally your ‘best’ seat!
ADVANCE SEAT ASSIGNMENTS:
When buying an airline ticket, be sure to ask your
travel agent to assign you a seat on the aircraft. If you arrive at the
ticket counter without a seat assignment on an overbooked flight, you will
probably be one of the first to be 'bumped' off the flight and be forced
to take a later flight - which can be several hours to even a full day
later. Having a seat assignment in advance can reduce the risk of getting
'bumped' on an over-booked flight!
