HOW TO GET AN AISLE SEAT

u Ask for it. Airlines will assign a desirable aisle seat to passengers who need the extra room or access to the lavatory. If you have a disability or a special need, consult with the carrier’s special services desk. You can also ask a fellow passenger to switch with you after boarding. u Pull the card. If you have a loyalty card, you may be entitled to a better seat, even if you’re sitting in economy class. Your card may work on another airline if it has a codeshare agreement with your favorite carrier. It’s better than getting squished into a middle seat. u Pay for one. Airlines will love this suggestion because they’ll make more money from you. If avoiding a window or aisle is important, you may want to spend a few extra dollars. (You’re welcome, airlines.)
