Where should you sit on an airplane if you're prone to motion sickness? If you have a connecting flight? If you're traveling with kids? Ask an airline agent about reserving the right seat for you.

Instructions

STEP 1: Request bulkhead seats'those behind the dividing walls of a plane'or a seat by one of the emergency exits if you want more leg room.

STEP 2: Choose an aisle seat for easier access to the overhead storage compartment and lavatories, as well as for faster disembarking.

STEP 3: Consider sitting near the lavatories if you are traveling with children.

STEP 4: Opt for the back of the plane if you want to sprawl out; there are usually fewer people in the back.

STEP 5: Sit toward the front if you want to get off the plane faster, which could be important if you're trying to make a tight connection. The front of the plane also tends to be a quieter ride.

STEP 6: Choose a seat toward the wings, which are the stability point for the plane, if motion sickness is a potential problem.

STEP 7: Sit near the galleys if you want early snack, beverage or meal service.

Tips & Warnings

• If you're traveling with a companion, reserve the aisle and window seat of a three-seat row. Because middle seats are the last to be sold, you have a good chance of having an extra seat.
• Join a frequent-flier program to increase your chances of getting a good seat on the plane.
• Exit-door seats must be filled by passengers willing and able to help people in an emergency situation and may not be available for reservation. Check with your airline agent.
