She gets the window seat, so I get the middle. We've had success a single time keeping the middle open, and that was a 10PM Sunday night flight.<br /> </p> Any time I’m flying, it’s on vacation with my wife.

People would walk down the aisle with that hopeful "may I sit here?" look, see me, and keep walking - right to then next car if necessary. <br /> </p> It helps to not only be big, but to look scary.

The worst flight I was on was Air Canada on my way to London. I'm a bit smallish, and my sister average, but I always demand the window seat. No luck on this flight and we ended up in the middle of the plane...I don't mean to judge but the two people next to us were quite large. The whole 13 hour flight the woman next to me was taking up about half my seat. Then, at dinner service, she inhaled her meal and half her boyfriend's, then not ten minutes later she begins complaining of feeling ill. She gets up and leaves for the lavatory for about 15 minutes. When she comes back, he asks, "are you feeling better?" and she proceeds to indicate that she vomited. Of course, she complained about it for the next twenty minutes (at which point I was pacing the aisle). THEN it was time to start the descent. I was sure she was gonna lose it...luckily though...she didn't but I was violently ill the next day. I blame her.</p> Ugh. The worst flight I was on was Air Canada on my way to London.
