One traveler on the Reddit forum shared a life hack that allows you to get an entire row of seats on a plane without paying extra.
The council works with airlines that allow you to choose your boarding seats for free during online check-in.
If you are flying economy class with a travel companion, do not select adjacent seats in a row of three seats when checking in online.
One of you should sit by the window and the other by the aisle, so that the seat in the middle remains empty.
No one voluntarily takes the middle seat unless there are no other options , the traveler explained.
He noted that this life hack will not work on popular charter flights, since the load will be full.
