    Either one is fine. Just don't seat me near anyone under the age of 13.

    This. I wish there were special "18 and over only" flights.

    1. BO
    2. People that fart
    3. Crying Kids
    4. A person that can't fit into their own seat so they sit on part of mine.

    I think BO would be way worse, you wouldn't be able to get away from it. At least if he just has bad breath you can share some breath mints/gum with him. Or, if all else fails, turn away and under no circumstances, begin a conversation with him.

    Could they possibly make those damn seats any smaller or closer together?

    I cant stand the guy/girl/ thing, sitting next to me to be elbowing me in the ribs...keep your arms in your lap damn it.

    Try 6'4" and not being able to sit in bulkhead or first class....then you get the inconsiderate jerkoffs that recline their seat.

    Bo guy. You can offer a breath mint. Your deodorant is probably checked in your luggage.

    Seriously this is the worst. I'm only 6'2" but I was on a 14 1/2 hour flight to Johannesburg and got stuck in a freaking middle seat. Absolute torture...

    I sat next to a guy about that size once. OMG! I felt so bad for him, all crammed into that seat. And he was a talker, too. lol I was reading a book, but I think I got through about two sentences the whole flight. But he offered to buy food for my daughter and me on the flight, so I couldn't be too upset with him.

    This is what I know: His name is Tony. He lives in San Diego and owns his own plumbing business that is very highly rated on Yelp. With that information, I did some Googling and I found his business website when I got home.

    well, the lady behind us last time sounded like Sophia from Golden Girls and never shut up for the 4.5 hour flight, so I deem her THE worst! I had headphones on the whole time and could still hear her.

    My husband has the same issue. It totally sucks for tall people.

    I think BO, unless they are a mouth breather....

    Airplane manners:
    Aisle guy - you get the extra room of the aisle
    Window guy - you get the window and wall to lean against

    So IMO....middle seat should get BOTH arm rest.

    Also......it makes me mad when I'm stuck in the middle and the two guys think they are entitled to have my legs space! I want to say "your package can't be THAT big, close your damn legs"

    Never had to sit next to anyone with bad breath or body odor. I've been lucky with people who sit next to the window (I like aisle seats) and sleep pretty much the whole way. I don't mind chatting a little bit, but I definitely don't want to sit next to children unless they're my own...which I don't have any of my own right now. I recently had to fly with my friend and she spilled into my seat. I have never experienced this as I never spilled into anyone's seat and never had anyone do it to me. We flew southwest and we could sit anywhere. I encouraged her to sit wherever she wanted because the plane got full quick and we had to find two seats together. She insisted on sitting right beside me and right in the middle seat. I was really uncomfortable...couldn't move my arms however I wanted to and was pushed up against the side of my seat where the armrest was digging into my leg. I love my friend, but now I understand.

    I haven't had the displeasure of sitting next to someone awful yet.

    On my 8 1/2 hour flight from Geneva to New York I actually had a great chat with a British lady for the bulk of the flight.

    BO would be worse for me but what I just can't stand is sitting next to someone who is super sick...coughing, sneezing and blowing their nose every five minutes.

    I once shared a middle row with a woman and her three kids under the age of 4, for an 11 hour flight to Dubai. By the end of the flight I was babysitting the two oldest kids, because my heart broke for this poor frazzled mom, whose husband was sitting across the aisle from her on the other side, blissfully unaware of the pandemonium with his enormous headphones on. I wanted to kill him. And the kids. But mostly him.
