Are you currently being jabbed in the midriff by the elbows of dueling strangers?
You must be seated in a middle seat on a flight.
And we are sorry.
Its never easy being the meat in a stranger-sandwich.
(Unless thats your thing, which, no judgment here.)
No sleeping for you!
But a middle seat doesnt have to be all bad.
And if youre a talkative person, you have double the opportunity to make a new friend.
(Just know when toend a conversation.)
Obviously, you should get to a bathroom before your flight to take care of any important needs.
In exchange for an extra fee, youll get a little more legroom, though you should checkSeatguruto ensure.
(Again, check your flights seat map onSeatguruto avoid this.)
Just be sure to remove any necessities from your bag before you place it in the bin.
It usually contains headphones, a charger, and a snack.
You might also want to remove your jacket or sweater in case it gets especially cold on the flight.
(Plus, you’re able to place behind your neck or back if you needextra support).
It might be a little more comfortable than being squeezed by your seat mates while seated upright.
After all, the window seat gets to lean on the plane and the aisle gets the bathroom!
The middle seat gets nothing but back pain.
The middle seat is terrible as it is and you deserve the luxury of a slight recline.
