I'm reserving my seat for a flight and there are only 10 middles available so I choose one at random. If a couple had reserved aisle and window, hoping to have an empty between them but going to offer a swap if someone takes the middle, the odds are against me choosing them so I'll be stuck in a middle unnecessarily.
