It baffles me that non-middle seat passengers try to assert rights to middle seat armrests and consider themselves justified.
- kortilla 7y agoThat seemed to get more common around the time picking the seat became a luxury add-on (e.g. basic economy vs economy on the US major carriers). Once folks felt they paid more for their aisle/window, they stopped caring about entitlements for the person in the middle.
- why-oh-why 7y agoI wonder if any of you ever tried sitting on the aisle. It’s a hazard there, constantly being hit by anything and anyone who passes by. No way I’m “resting” on that armrest and therefore I’ll lean towards the middle seat.
- isoskeles 7y agoDo you prefer the middle seat to the aisle?
- why-oh-why 7y agoI think so. Aisle lets you get up anytime you want, but also forces you to get up twice as much as the middle seat. But mainly in the middle seat you never have to be afraid of people bumping into you, which affects you for most of the flight.
- x3n0ph3n3 7y agoI managed to extend my elbow into the aisle just as a flight attendant was rushing forward and the poor lady doubled over in pain from the impact. As a large guy, I felt pretty bad, and it's not the first time someone has made contact with my passing by.
