How To Get The Best Seats On The Plane

Most domestic flights in Australia allow you to do your own check-in

, selecting your own seat in the process. This is a great way of avoiding "airline induced arthritis", so it's worth doing some home tech support for yourself.

You really don't have to settle for a bad seat or evolve into a different form of life, even in economy. There are a couple of very useful sites which can really help. Check out SeatGuru or SeatExpert. These surprisingly useful sites tell you which seats to pick and which seats to avoid on any airline. (They're not kidding about which ones to avoid, either, as you'll see.)

You'll also find out what to expect in terms of facilities on the plane including power, entertainment, seat width and how far you can lean back. Next time you're flying, give yourself a break. Check your flight's aircraft!

Using Gmail WiFi safely at the airport

Public WiFi can be risky. Unsecured connections mean anyone with the knowhow can intercept your email or track your surfing.

(It does happen. Be careful, particularly in major airports.)How to Get the Best Seats on the Plane

If you want to use Google Mail in a public WiFi, there's an easy way:

Go to the default Google mail page - http://gmail.google.com You'll be redirected to a secure site to log in. The problem is you will then be redirected to an un-encrypted site for your email. This puts you at potential risk from eavesdroppers.

Forget the myths about percentile chances of getting intercepted. You can get hit fast using WiFi, and that's just not good enough. Treat your email like your credit card details. Anyone who can get into your email gets a lot of access to information, and it's just not worth taking chances.

The solution?

Simply type an 's' at the end of the http ID like this: https://gmail.google.com (and bookmark the URL). The result is that you will be encrypted with SSL throughout your entire email session. Encryption of this type really does work, it's the same system used for credit cards.

Keep this trick in mind, and you won't have any trouble. Also remember that many sites do have secure options. Use them wherever possible.
