When getting ready for a long haul flight, you would do just about anything to make it a little easier.

Whether it's packing up the perfect snacks, making sure you've got your go-to beauty essentials or your latest must-read novel on hand, it can cause a lot of worry. But what if there was a way to take some of the stress out? Blogger Gilbert Ott shared a hack on God Save The Points on how to get the perfect place when flying economy on a plane - and it's all down to your phone. By using an app called ExpertFlyer, you're apparently in for a better chance to get your dream seat, whether you're after a nicer window seat or even a whole row of  seats to yourself. The dream, right? He explained that the app "allows users to view up-to-the-moment seating charts and, better yet, allows users to set alerts for when and if their ideal seat pops up" - so you'll be able to keep an eye on where exactly the spare seats on a plane are. And once you've got the seat alerts set up, you're able to change around your chosen seat up the departure day, making sure you're in with an even better chance to get your dream seat. Ott added that ExpertFlyer is "all about execution", advising would-be holidaymakers to be patient: if the seat you want isn't available to begin with, just wait it out.
