Why You Should Try to Get the Seat alongside the Emergency Exit

When it comes to leg room on airlines, let's face it – unless you're flying first class, there's very little chance that you'll be expecting comfortable and spacious surroundings. However, if you can manage to get the emergency exit row seat, you might just find that you do! In most aircraft, the emergency exit rows are wider, to allow for the disembarking of passengers, so the seats on these rows automatically come with more leg room. Some airlines will allow you to book these specific seats, although some reserve them for especially large passengers. When booking your ticket, it's important to find out if you can book a seat in this row, and if so, make sure you book early – there are not many available!
