It's summer holiday season. If you're heading away from home on holiday, that means figuring out how to deal with jet lag. You can go some way to heading off the potential issue by doing some tactical napping on the way to your destination. Sure, the odds are against you when it comes to quality sleep – a cramped plane seat won't provide anything like the comfort of the best mattresses around – but there are plenty of techniques for how to sleep on a plane that are designed to help. And it all starts with picking the right seat. 

If you have the opportunity to pick your seat before travel (or even if you don't) there are some golden rules to follow. In short, you want a seat with the most legroom, where you're least likely to be disturbed, to give yourself the best chance of getting some quality shut-eye on your flight. Read on to learn how to find the best airplane seats for sleep, including one handy website that could be a major game-changer.
