On our initial reservation, we both had aisle seats near the front. (Yep, we'd rather have aisles than sit together.) And I confess he does turn a little and stick his knees out, but he has learned to watch for the carts. A window seat is do-able, but those middle seats leave him with nowhere to turn at all. Poor guy had the bad luck on the ORD-OMA leg to get wedged next to a fellow with chronic gas problem, too . . . A serial farter, I guess you'd say.

OK, I'm an idiot. I said that at ORD, the GA sticks us in a couple of aisle seats. I meant they stuck us in middles. Jeez.
