Not to be rude, but it doesn't sound like you fly much. You can buy economy plus unless you got a super discounted flight. Frequent fliers get first access depending on their level. Just use google.com/flights (lists leg room data), or just hit the "i" mark on each fare and you can usually see the actual leg room on the ticket. Don't bother using aggregators to buy the ticket. They're useful at finding fares, but the same rates are usually available through the airline's site as well.
