I think using seatguru is a good idea, but for anyone who doesn’t have the time to keep checking seat availability, MySeatFinder (http://www.myseatfinder.com) goes one step further and find AND BOOKS you a new seat according to preferences from which you select (ex. Exit Row Aisle, Bulkhead Window, etc.). I was part of the beta program and I was pretty impressed with the results.

Sadly, if you’re not frequent fliers, the only way to get up front is to pay for it. I would call a local travel agent – if you’re not a pro, they’re really helpful and they really do have a lot of good insight and ideas. If you don’t get warm and fuzzy vibes from the agent after just talking about what you want to do, then back off and find another one. Hope that helps!

Hi Jerry:
I enjoyed reading your tips on air travel. I printed them out for future reference. I (ALONE!) am in the process of trying to plan a trip somewhere along the Mexican coast between Mazatlan and Acapulco from around the middle of Dec. 08, to around 1-5-09 (a little flexible). I know, I am finding out that I should have started months ago…… Since this is a special trip for us, and we are NOT frequent air travelers, my husband and I want to fly first class. Just wondering if there is anything you could clue me in on that may make my flight and hotel search a little less painful and stressful? I am from your “neck of the woods”. Thanks. Nancy Lou
