When 2 of you travel in Y, do you select Window+Aisle?
So, most of my travel is with my SO, and mostly in Y on narrow bodied aircraft so 3+3 seating. Without thinking, I always select Window+Middle for our seats, but I'm wondering if a better strategy would be to select Window+Aisle in the hope that the (less desirable) middle seat might remain unoccupied. Worse case, if it isn't, I can take the middle, and allow the other passenger to take the more desirable aisle seat.
Does anyone else do this? Is this considered "bad-form"? Anyone ever had a passenger insist on taking the middle seat because that's what they were assigned?
