    This.

    Plus, if you need to check the price on multiple airlines or services, switching back and forth between multiple tabs is so much easier on a laptop (or even…a desktop with multiple monitors gasp, clutching pearls).

    Plus plus, it’s so much faster and easier to type in all your info on a real keyboard (or maybe that’s just me showing my age)

      In addition, I want to use tools like Seat Guru to know if there are serious issues with the seat I’m about to choose. And, with a lot of those tools it’s easiest if you have the booking website open next to the tool (say Seat Guru) website. If you have to switch back and forth you need to remember details like “it’s seat 26A on a 737-MAX”. If you can have both open side-by-side you can glance from one window over to the other one.

            It’s no worse than any other seat on a 737, so far as I know. But it seems that every airline disaster in the news for the last several years has involved a 737. Based on that alone, I wouldn’t willingly get on one. Not any Boeing aircraft, if I’m being honest.

                Great gods, you’re right. Also, there’s nothing in that article that makes me feel safe about any 737.

          Why would you think I’m buying a ticket there? I’m just talking about looking up good seats.
