The sneaky booking trick to get an extra seat on a plane

Air travel has come a long way, but the amount of legroom divvied to travellers (especially those in economy) is still a major cause of beef. But that doesn’t mean you should see the sardine treatment as a foregone conclusion in cattle class.

This sneaking booking trick could see you (and your partner in crime) score an extra seat on the plane and the oh-so-precious stretching space that comes with that.

If you’re travelling as a pair, choose the aisle and window seats when booking. If no one takes the middle seat you end up getting the full row to yourselves.

Worst case scenario, if someone does end up taking the middle seat as if they’d feel comfortable switching seats, and you’ll still be able to sit next to your partner.

Do you think you’ll give this booking trick a try?
