Travelers willing to play chicken roulette for better seats

Over the years airline seats seem to be getting smaller. What if you could get more legroom without paying for an upgrade?

A TikTok boarding hack called “Check-in Chicken” really works, but it is a gamble. You have to wait until the last minute to check in, when only the best seats are available, forcing the airline’s hand.

According to Travel Republic experts, “Many airlines release the final seating chart as boarding time approaches. Using the airline’s app or website, you can often see which seats are still available and closer to an empty row.” Just don’t wait too long.
