More than once in the past I selected or got a seat on an airplane that just did not fit my needs. Personally, I prefer aisle seats that are as close as possible to the exit door of the aircraft I am flying on. The reason is simple, most of my flights are long haul international flights and once we hit the gate I want to be out and on my way. Whatever the reason, more than once I had this misfortune of selecting a seat that turned out to be a very poor selection on my part. Now if I go on an aircraft that I am less familiar with, either because I did not fly it before or by an airline I did not use prior to this trip, I use the Seat Guru, a web site that provides seating information on most major airlines of the world. You are welcome to try it out at www.seatguru.com.

Nice post
I like it that they say which seats have electrical outlets for using my laptop. The downside of that is that the electric box takes away some legroom.
The solution is to find a seat with an outlet under it and no outlet under the seat where you will store your feet.
Seat Guru is great
I also like the aisle seat because I’ve got this thing about having to push past people if I’ve got to get up, plus I’ve got long legs which i can stretch out along the aisle seat in front.
An essential website for us frequent long-haul travelers, every little bit helps on those long flights.
