SeatGuru – Know Before You Go
Airline travel is not always a fun and relaxing experience (especially in coach.) Between shrinking leg room and reduced amenities, long trips can feel like torture.
When you book online (places like Orbitz) you now have the option of selecting the seat you want in the class you paid for. Even in the same class, the leg room and overall comfort can vary depending on the Airline and specific airplane.
SeatGuru is a website that gives you valuable details on legroom, seat layouts and amenities.
You can search their extensive database by Airline and plane model to see a complete seatmap with legroom specs, power outlets, lavatory access and other details.
I came across the site while looking for what airlines use what power outlets for plugging in my laptop. Some airlines have standard US wall outlets and others use the airline power standard (looks like a car outlet.)
They also have nice compare feature that allows you to compare airlines in the same class. For example, you can see who has the most legroom for international coach between the airlines you’re looking to book with.
SeatGuru is free and is provided through TripAdvisor. Definitely worth checking out before booking your next flight.
