Endearing yourself with the people in front of you. This goes on until they are in the bulkhead row.
Though, letting them pass and then kicking the back of their seats does have a certain poetry.
There have been threads about 'spare' seats, but it has to be set up so that they don't scatter the seats, and if they do, you can get some compensation.
My buddy flies between AUS-NZ and for their frequent fliers they leave the middle open. I forget what they call it.
