> Also, many travelers don't get to choose at all. > When I travel for personal reasons, I avoid planes whenever possible and otherwise, at any flight longer than one hour I buy at least an upgrade to a so-called "premium economy" seat or an emergency exit seat (which used to be free, but now they charge extra for them too).
