I found this little How-To video while browsing around today. While it doesn’t cover many of the nuances of getting a good seat it definitely shows the best way if you want to do a little research.
Remember, getting to the airport early is the key to getting not only a good seat, but often times the seat that you reserved. Although you may have “reserved” a specific seat assignment, that is no guarantee you will get that seat when you show up to the airport. The airlines often upgrade frequent fliers to the best seats which means if they get there before you, you may be out of luck.
On another note, if you know you’re going to be flying in a propeller powered aircraft, the best seat is in the back, since sitting as far behind the spinning prop is the quietest. In a jet, forward is always quieter. Also, exit row seats often don’t recline, and if you’re in a bulkhead, you can’t store anything under the seat in front of you, it’s all up in the overhead.
