We’re flying to New Zealand via Singapore, with Singapore Airlines. When I collected my hotel vouchers at the local office, I was reminded to go online to reserve our seats, 48 hours before departure. Well, we’re at the 48-hour mark, so I’ve just been on the site, only to discover that you can book your seats at least a month in advance. This means that although we were still able to nab some good seats on the flight of out of South Africa (South Africans are not as quick online as those sneaky Singaporians, it seems), our flight from Singapore to Auckland was almost fully occupied, and we were lucky to find two seats next to each other.
Of enormous help in this process was the website, SeatGuru. By selecting your air carrier, and then the model of your plane, you’re able to see exactly where the best seats are, and which seats to avoid. For example, I discovered that the economy seats just in front of the emergency exit on the Boeing 747-400 are preferred, because they provide with slightly extra legroom, while the seats in the back row don’t recline, and are to be avoided.
