All other factors being equal, fly on a Boeing 767: these aircraft have fewer of the dreaded middle seats because the economy rows are in a two-three-two configuration, not three-three. The planes have anywhere from 180 to 250 total seats, depending on the airline, and they're primarily used for long-haul domestic and some international flights.
Travel is full of pitfalls. One wrong step and your vacation could be ruined by a seedy hotel room, an overpriced restaurant, a wasted afternoon at a tourist-trap attraction or an overnight flight crammed in the middle seat. So, guarantee a smooth trip by planning thoroughly. Here's how to make all the right moves.
