5 Facts About Choosing The Best Air Asia X Seat

This article will also explain how to actually go about securing these seats for your next flight.As well as informing you of the best seats and explaining the truth about the Air Asia X seat pitch.This article will give you five facts that everyone should know before choosing the best Air Asia X seat for your next flight.

Tip#1: Bulkhead seatsBulkhead seats are a similar story to Exit row seats. The middle seat is always free as it is too narrow for anyone to sit in. The downside of bulkhead seats is that their legroom is slightly limited when compared to exit row seats. Also note that if these seats are empty, you will not be permitted to sit in them unless you have paid the extra hot seat charge.Furthermore, they are more likely to have babies in them as these seats are next to the bassinet. Still, if exit row seats are not available, these are excellent seats to have. Again, you can book these on the Air Asia X website when you book you ticket or at any time until you have checked in.

Tip #2: The truth about seat pitchMany major newspapers around the world incorrectly slate Air Asia for having very small seats with only a 31" seat pitch. Well 31" isn't that small and it is actually the same as Lufthansa, British Airways, and United Airlines have. Even tall people can still fit in these seats no problem.

Tip #3: Exit row seatsIt is worth mentioning that all seats on Air Asia X have individual TV screens with video on demand. Air Asia X decided this would make these seats too small. Instead, the airline made the middle seat in the Exit row very narrow and always leaves these seats empty.The TV for exit row seats is in the armrest, which normally makes these seats slightly narrower. These seats can be booked in advance, for a fee, anytime including at time of booking and are labelled as hot seats. These normally cost 100 Ringgit, £20GBP or $40AUD.This is a great as it means the remaining exit row seats have unlimited legroom and they have an empty seat next to them.

Tip#4: Seat reclineThe genius behind the 9 seat across plan was clearly having a bad day when the seat recline options were chosen. This is not an issue with exit row/bulkhead seats or if you are a small person.Air Asia X seats do not recline, instead the base slides forward to create an angled back. The airline has listened to customer feedback and is replacing these seats with regular ones in 2010. Until then, remember to bring a neck pillow.If you are in a regular seat this will kill most of your legroom and make it very uncomfortable.

Tip#5: Seat widthsAir Asia X use Airbus A330 aircraft equipped with 9 seats (3-3-3) across. Most airlines that use the aircraft have 8 seats across (2-4-2). Air Asia was smart about it and reduced the width of the aisles and the armrests making the seats only slightly narrower. If you are fine with a regular Economy seat, then you will find Air Asia X seats to be comfortable enough as well.Most airlines that use the aircraft have 8
seats across (2-4-2).

Know The Information About Safe Cruising:

• Some cruisers like to rent cars in their ports of call. It is recommended that you only do this in destinations that you are familiar with and have a good knowledge of where you are going. Be careful when renting a car. Be sure to check out the entire car for any damages that may already be there and note them on your rental contract.

• This means that the temperatures can reach extremes of both hot and cold. For the most part it is not recommended to allow your pet to travel if the temperature is over 85 degrees, or under 45 degrees. The extreme weather can combine with the thin air to make your pet extremely uncomfortable and possibly in danger if it flies with you.

• Little items like tips, alcoholic beverages, extra shore trips, small snacks, room service, casino play, or spa treatments can all add up quickly - taking your "all-inclusive" and affordable vacation way over budget. Remember, it's easier to sign up for a bunch of little bills when you're thinking that the whole trip is already paid for. Budget travelers need to be especially careful of this common "all-inclusive" pitfall.

• You can also save money by booking late in the season, even a up to a few weeks before the ship is scheduled to leave port. Waiting to book your trip can be risky, but if you’ve got strong nerves, your cruise travel agent can help you reap the rewards. Cruise prices drop to rock bottom in those few weeks before the vacation actually starts, and your agent could help you snag a cheap cabin or take advantage of other great last minute incentives.
  
• Air fares are much cheaper. There are less people wanting to fly so air carriers drop their prices to attract customers. Take advantage of these great savings. If you are traveling in the high season, see if you can book a flight mid-week. These flights are generally cheaper too.

• The rule is to avoid any place that involves swaying movement. Since movement is the least at the centre of the ship, stay at that point as far as possible. Also, remaining seated helps as standing increases the movement of the head, triggering and even aggravating motion sickness. Second, avoid focussing on objects close by, and, instead, look at once in the distance.

Enjoying Holidays That Are More Local:

• If you've never thought to fly from a regional airport then it may well be worth checking out the flights that are on offer. You could soon be enjoying a cheaper, local holiday.A key advantage for me is that I live close to a local airport, ensuring that I don't have to make use of one of the big London airports.
• As a result of such concerns, we're seeing an increasing number of people looking to spend their holidays closer to where they live.Quite a number of people are thinking about how much money they spend when booking holidays. We all know that a holiday should be relaxing, but it's certainly harder to have fun if we're worried about how to pay for it. It's becoming increasingly common for some people to spend their holidays at home, deciding to explore the local area. This may not sound like your idea of a great holiday and you may be thinking that you'd rather go elsewhere. In which case, budget flights could help.
• As you think about this idea, you may be concerned about what you would do if you spent your holiday in your local area, but you may be surprised by what's on offer. It's amazing how many of us know so little about attractions that are local to us. As a result, we may not be enjoying the relaxing and cheap holidays that could be available to us. But how local should we look to spend our breaks?
• The popularity of budget airlines has helped to drive flight prices down. This means that we can now fly to a greater number of destinations more easily and cheaply than ever before. My own experiences show that it's extremely convenient to fly from England to France. In fact, it works out both cheaper and quicker to fly rather than drive.
