Getting Out of the Middle Seat
There’s not a soul on this planet that will honestly tell you they enjoy sitting in the middle seat. You don’t have enough legroom, the guys on either side of you don’t understand that both armrests are yours, and people will smell the sweat odors coming out of your pits.
There’s a simple trick to solve a middle-seat problem. If you book a ticket on ExpertFlyer.com, you can set up a seat alert. ExpertFlyer will inform you if someone has canceled their flight. So, if you have the middle seat, you can swap yours for an empty aisle or window seat.
