Don't sit back and suffer in a bad seat on your next flight. There is a Web site that can help you plan ahead.

So say you've booked a crosscountry flight through United Airlines and you're seated in seat 16-A on a Boeing 757. Is that a good or bad thing?

Well the site SeatGuru.com can tell you for sure.

Simply click on the airline and the type of airplane you're booked on and it will give you an exact diagram of the seats. Scroll over certain marked seats and the site will tell you if it's a good seat because there's extra legroom or a bad seat because it doesn't recline.

It will even tell you which seats have a bad view of the video monitors or which ones tend to be particularly noisy or cold.

It'll even warn you if you're seated next to the bathroom or right next to the engine so you can bring your earplugs.

Because all airplanes aren't configured the same, the site has about a hundred different diagrams, detailing the seating arrangements with all the major airlines.

If you have comments about a particular seat, you can also submit those too. And once your feedback has been verified, they're added to the database to keep the site updated, accurate and more helpful to your fellow traveler.

So for some of us, comfort is more than just about a selection of aisle or window. Extra legroom is nice, especially you're going anywhere very far this summer.
