Getting the best seat on a flight isn't just luck; it's a strategy. If you struggle to get the desired seats, here are some hacks to always grab that perfect spot.

Seats fill fast, so book your ticket as early as possible. The earlier you confirm, the better your chance of choosing window, aisle, or extra legroom seats.

Airline apps let you track real-time seat maps and make changes. Keep checking close to departure for free upgrades or better positions.

Frequent flyer status often comes with perks like priority seat selection. Entry-level memberships can also get you better spots without paying extra.

Be among the first to check in online, usually 24–48 hours before departure. It boosts the chance of snagging seats that others haven't claimed yet.

Sometimes the best seats are blocked for last-minute needs. A polite request to the staff at the airport counter can get you moved to a better seat.

Check websites and apps that show detailed seat maps. Use them to avoid bad picks near toilets or with limited recline and poor legroom.
