I'm scheduled to fly BNA-ATL next Friday. Booked the flight 2 months ago and picked a nice exit row aisle seat. I check back from time to time to make sure I haven't been booted out of my seat by an equipment swap or some such thing.

My row remained empty until about 3 or 4 days ago and I now have a seatmate. Interestingly, they chose (or perhaps were assigned) the middle seat. The only non middle seats left are the window seats in the exit rows.

I know it can be a bit cool in the Exit Row Window seats. But it got me to wondering if it really is possible that someone would intentionally choose a middle seat when an aisle or window is available.

So, are there any fters who prefer middle seats?
