Hello Flyertalk! I am taking my first international trip!!

I am in the early stages of planning a trip to Buenos Aires for mid January 2014. I'm in no position to splurge $4000 to sit up front on United. So, my fellow travelers, how do you handle sitting in economy for 7 hours or more? I do like having a window seat but I realize on a long flight, I will need to get up at some point. Are most passengers "understanding" and usually polite about letting the person in the window seat out during a long flight? I know that sounds weird but I hate confrontations or the sense that I am disturbing someone, especially on planes!


I was looking through trip advisor, however, does anyone have recommendations for a hotel in EZE that is reasonable? I am looking for something middle of the road and not dirt cheap or very expensive.

Best Regard!
