Killing the 3.5mm Jack: How Simple Is Changing into Needlessly Complicated

Exactly.

Want +3in legroom? For each flight, go to a flight forum and punch in the route to figure out what plane they're flying. Google the airline and that plane to figure out how much legroom is available.

Give up and just fly jetblue and/or southwest, and if they don't go, decline to travel.

Skip the forums.

1. Flightaware

2. Seatguru

3...

4. Comfortable flying

(Step 3 is becoming a millionaire that flies business class.)

All airline seat selection pages I've ever seen show a map of the plane's seats, nobody needs a forum for that.

You have to select the airline and buy the ticket before you get that map, don't you? By then it's too late. I'm talking about the initial search process, where you decide which flight you're going to take. The only data present are the price, arrival & departure times, and the airline name.

And how much leg room do each of those seats have?

Or look up the seat/cabin details on Seat Guru.
