How to Avoid the Middle Seat
Again, nobody likes the middle seat. Sure, it’s your God-given right to lay claim on the armrests (the aisle seat passenger gets to stretch one leg outward, and the window-seat passenger gets the view), but armrests don’t provide much comfort at all. Here’s a neat trick to avoid getting the dreaded middle seat as much as possible.
