Best seat in the sky

Posted on May 6, 2013 by | Leave a comment

You’re booking your next long haul flight and you’ve come to the option to choose your seat.  So how do you know which seat is best for what you want?I personally prefer an isle seat so that I can get my hand luggage quickly, get to the toilet without having to wake up or climb over anyone.  I also want to get off the flight as quickly as possible so I always select the seat closest to the front in my cabin area.
