SEAT PITCH This is the distance between a row of seats - the measurement from the same position on two seats, one behind the other - it is NOT the legrest area as some believe. (For example, the back face of the seat in front of you, measured to the same point on the back face of the seat you are sitting in). SEAT WIDTH e have not included Seat Width in this table - this is largely due to considerable discrepancy between the way many airlines !uote seat widths. "ome provide the measurement between the inside of the armrests, others the distance between the middle of armrests etc.

Many people that fly for pleasure or for business purposes ha e to seat in an airplane for .-/ hours or sometimes e en more" depending on the trip that they

ma!e" and during the flight seating in an uncomfortable place in the airplane can be a really pain for them. *his is happening ery often due the lac! of details that each airline is publishing about their airplanes or because people that fly don5t consult an aircraft seat map before they boo! a tic!et. Airplane seat maps can be really handy for frequent or e en for occasionally fliers and help them to choose their seat in the airplane e en before they buy their tic!ets. 7nowing the place where you seat before going aboard is ery good because on almost all seating charts you can find all the details of a specific seat from e&tra legroom to missing windows or any other details. #eat maps published by airlines Most of the airlines publish the seats configurations for their airplanes but the quality of those seat maps is some times questionable and some of the details and information about seats are confusable. 8sually airlines don5t publish seat maps for all of their airplanes" they do it only for the ma$or airplanes and for the ones flying on frequent routes. #eat maps published by speciali,ed websites %n additions to those published seat maps which can be found on airlines websites there are some other sites that publish aircraft seat maps for almost all the commercial airplanes that are flying these days. #eat maps that can be found on these sites usually ha e more details and on some websites you can found comments from other passengers with ups and downs about each particular airplane seat. 9eading and understanding a seat map it5s a ery simple $ob but people should be carefully on the design of each seat map because is different from website to website or from airplane to airplane" so reading the legend will help understanding the seat arrangements and the meaning of each symbol from the seat map" in this way mista!es can be a oided and passengers can ma!e the best decision for their flight. Choosing your seat is important as choosing an airline or an airplane to fly with" some people prefer to fly only if they seat is near a window or some people li!e to fly in their own cabin and the requests and conditions of each passenger could go on. Consulting a seat map before going aboard can bring only benefits and can show to the passengers more details about the airplane comparing with the details and information about each airplane or flight that airlines are publishing. *he bottom line is that airplane seat maps which can be found ery easy on the web can help people choosing the best seat that will satisfy the all demands for them.

+inding the right seat with the help of aircraft seat maps can impro e ery much the flight conditions and things can be better when fliers read other people5s re iews of seats and airplanes because bad seats or bad flights can be a oided. http://seatmaestro.com/types/tablaclic!1:.html
