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?
I don't think anyone would intentionally choose a middle seat when there are aisle and window seats available. They may not want to be responsible for opening the door in case of an emergency. The window seat could've been taken when they were looking for seats and they preferred an exit row and the middle seat was the only exit seat available at the time they were seat selecting.
The widow seat could now be available because the person was upgraded to first.
