I also like flyertalk.com for good advice on how to ‘game’ and ‘mileage run’ the frequent flyer system to your advantage, including advice on scoring upgrades and other tidbits.

Finding myself stuck in the middle seat last week, online research produced another very clever flying hack:

Next time you find yourself on a full flight and unable to avoid a middle seat, ask the gate agent to seat you between two people with the same last name. Often they are a husband-wife combo who will offer to trade so they can sit next to one another.

You forgot about matrix.itasoftware.com.

1. Click on guest.
2. Search for a flight
3. Click on “Choose flights (graphical)”

Best way to search for flights with layovers and compare what’s out there. It’s all I use for searching, then book using the corporate tool.
