If you’re traveling to one of the upcoming fall conferences, here’s a few of my favorite travel tips – as inspired by Kevin Kline’s recent travel tips post. (If some of these familiar, it’s because I originally ran parts of it last fall before the conference season.)
Use SeatGuru.com or SeatExpert.com to get the best seat.
I’m not talking about first class versus coach – even in coach, not all seats are created equal. Every plane has some surprise seats that have more room or awkward armrest setups.
SeatGuru and SeatExpert have maps of every plane flown by every airline. Call your airline or check online to find out the exact make & model of plane you’re flying and then pull up the SeatGuru or SeatExpert map. The seats are color-coded by comfort level. Hover your mouse over your seat, and you’ll see detailed notes about the comfort level of that particular seat. Then, with that map up on your screen, call your travel agent or go to your airline’s web site to change your seat. You can sometimes do this online even when it’s too early to check in for your flight, and the earlier you do this, the better your chances are for getting a good seat.
