GET THE BEST SEAT ON A PL ANE (GOODBYE, JABBY ELBOW S)

If cash is no object, book a three-room “residence suite” (complete with shower) on one of Etihad Airways’ new superjumbo planes. The United Arab Emirates carrier’s cabins come with a personal butler—and a price tag of $20,000 each way. Not willing to spend like Kanye? Use the SeatGuru by TripAdvisor app (free, for iOS) to scour a colour-coded map of your specific plane for a spot with the most legroom—and farthest away from the lavatory lineup.
