The Keeper passed me a website worth remembering. SeatGuru is a service (owned by another favorite, TripAdvisor, since 2007) that provides detailed information about any aircraft you might happen to fly on from here to there. The idea is that you can make an informed decision about what flight to purchase that goes beyond saving a few bucks. As the name implies, there is a great deal of information on comparing seats from one aircraft to another. This also helps understand the differences in aircraft configuration between airlines. I know I once got stuck in United "Economy" some time after they introduced "Economy" and "Economy Plus" or whatever their cattle-controlling system was titled. I knew at that point I would never again fly in that Economy section -- I'm not a big person and my knees were stradling my spine. Not cool, United, not cool. SeatGuru would have been a welcome advisor at that point in my frequenting of fliers.

We used SeatGuru when booking our overseas flights and it really did help -- if you fly American they let you pick your own seat by row number when booking online & we could look at what was available vs. the Guru's recommendations.
