Upseated

You know the feeling—you check in and discover you're stuck in a middle seat squeezed between strangers. Or you're rows away from your kids. Or you're trapped in that non-reclining seat right next to the lavatory. Ugh. That's where Upseated comes in. This app is a game-changer. It's a peer-to-peer marketplace that lets you swap seats with other passengers on your flight. Want to upgrade to a window or aisle? Make an offer. Have a premium seat you don't need? List it and get paid. What I love most is how simple and secure it is. Everything happens through the app—finding swap partners, messaging, and payments. They use Stripe for all transactions, so you know your money is protected. And since seat swaps are backed by US contract law, both parties are covered. No more awkwardly asking strangers mid-flight or begging gate agents for help. Just open the app, find your flight, and make it happen. If you fly regularly (or even occasionally), download Upseated. It's honestly changed how I think about booking flights. Highly recommend!
