As air travel fiends, we actually relish the part of booking a flight which involves choosing our seat on the plane. Actually, we almost always take the extra step to hit up websites like FlightStats to check the individual airplane's details and it's historical performance on the route. Apparently, FlightStats and other such sites now have a new bit of competition from across the pond: Air Valid.
Air Valid offers the typical tools of a flight data website; there's an airfare search engine (Mobissimo), a list of blacklisted airlines, general plane make information and airline number of passengers per year. The site's big claim to fame, however, seems to be its seat pitch information, allowing taller travelers to compare airline's seat space. ]]>
