    Can’t just ask the person to swap you? Most people don’t want the middle seat.

      Hmm. That’s a good point… Book both the aisle and window and hope nobody takes the middle! Depending on the route that’s workable.

      If that doesn’t pan out, I suppose the situation is similar, but I’ll get to make someone a bit happier by swapping, which is also a win.

      Seriously, thank you. I got something out of this.
