I'm enjoying this TR greatly in part because I like reading Y TRs, so thanks for this. Like you, I share a disdain for middle seats but they're fine for short hops occasionally if nothing's available. A middle while seated with a companion is fine, as it means I can get out of my seat without feeling like I'm disturbing a stranger.

The eyemask cracks me up... what if I just wanted to sleep but didn't want to be woken up for the meals? Also, it's interesting to see what looks like
Seattle Central Library on the amenity kit. It's famous around these parts but I wouldn't expect the regular HU flier to know it, despite the airline having service to SEA.
When my grandparents passed away a couple of years ago, I found silverware from Singapore, Korean, JAL, and, heck, even US Air in their silverware drawer.
Same here but I had always just assumed it was from my grandfather's days of working at HKG. Maybe it's just an East Asian grandparents thing?
