Whether you want more leg room, a better spot to stash your carry on bag, or to keep your elbows safe from the ravages of rickety drink carts, this handy diagram will help.

The above diagram comes to us courtesy of Show Me How: 500 Things You Should Know Instructions for Life From the Everyday to the Exotic by Lauren Smith and Derek Fagerstrom. The illustration offers a great visual guide to selecting seats for your next airline trip. Need a safe spot to stash your carry one? Pick a seat at the back, you'll board first and have your pick of the available bins. Want to bank on decent leg room? Grab a seat by the bulkhead or the back of the plane, seat pitch increases towards the back of many planes.

All that information doesn't help you if you can't actually book a seat that's specific to the sweet spots in the particular plane you're flying in, of course, so make sure you check out previously reviewed SeatGuru—you'll see where your potential seats are in relation to the specific plane you're flying on. Have a travel tip, trick, or infographic to share? Let's hear about it in the comments. Thanks Edward!
