If you’re not that familiar with airplanes, your airline ticket is just a ticket. An experienced flier may know where his or her seat is, but if you don’t, you can go to Seatguru.com, plug in your flight information, and pull up a map of the plane to see exactly where you’re sitting. After all, sure you knew you’d gotten an aisle seat, but did anyone tell you that you’re also seated right next to the bathroom? Now you know!

More than just a basic map though, Seatguru.com also gives you in-depth information about your seat. Does it have limited legroom? Not a good seat for someone tall. Maybe you’re sitting in front of something that restricts how much your seat reclines. Perhaps you’d prefer a seat closer to the door so your nervous flier self can be one of the first to race off the plane and kiss the ground. You can even get information about what sort of in-seat power port is available to you.

That’s a lot of information that won’t come with your ticket!
