Rule Number One - Don't Book The Middle Seat
-
This Washington Post travel article purports to set forth the unofficial "5 rules for the middle seat on an airplane," and the one I'll agree with -- to a point -- is the first, that the person in the middle seat gets to use both arm rests (but watch those elbows slopping over to the other seats). And I'll agree that the middle seater shouldn't spread those legs, although that goes for the other seats, too. "Don't sleep on anyone's shoulder" applies to all seats, not just the middle. But telling couples they need to take the middle seat and not take the aisle and window and leave the middle for someone else is stupid; everyone should get to sit where they want, first come, first served. (Tip: Couples should book two aisle seats across from each other.) And timing lavatory visits, well, YOU tell your bladder. Anyway, book early to avoid all of this. (Washington Post)
