Ah! I just thought of a new benefit! EXPs now get to enjoy full and exclusive use of both armrests in coach - yessssssssssssss!
No, but really, I know that I'm not entitled to it, but it just seems that every single flight I'm on, the person next to me is always using much more than their fair share of that little itty bitty armrest. Perhaps I'm just unlucky. Alas.

That's true, but quite often there are at least one or two empty seats on a flight. It would be nice if that empty seat were next to me (or any EXP, I suppose).
