What should I be flying?

Believe it or not, there are some airlines out there that allow you to live large in the skies. Here are the best seats available today. —AMY MARR

1. JETBLUE'S COACH
The first 11 rows in JetBlue's Airbus A230 fleet feature 36 inches of legroom—about five inches more than the average coach seat. LCD screens with free DirectTV make even long delays bearable. jetblue.com

2. VIRGIN AMERICA'S COACH
Each leather seat comes with a touch screen that doubles as an on-demand menu and satellite-equipped entertainment center; a virtual chat function allows you to hit on fellow passengers from rows away. virginamerica.com

3. SOUTH AFRICAN AIRWAYS' BUSINESS CLASS
The business-class seats on all of South African Airways' Airbus A340 aircraft recline to full flat-bed position (unlike the angled "lie-flat" seats you find on Air France). flysaa.com

Virgin Atlantic's first-class flat-bed is two-faced: The sitting side is covered in soft leather, while the sleeping side is constructed of firm, sleep-ready foam. virginatlantic.com
