I must say I am not on the score a nice person. I have to fly LHR-NYC on a regular basis in coach. I always have the exit row at the front of coach, and on the daylight trip I dont recline as I tend to work. On the night flight back though I tend to take a good swig of NiQil along with a alrge glass of Jamesons Whiskey. As soon as the seatbelt sign goes off, I recline the seat and pass out.
Someone decided to wake me to say they wanted to eat. Now what do you do, I need sleep, you want food. I figure you can work when hungry but not asleep. I urged them ti take it up with the airline as I did not fit the seats and make them so cramped.
Sorry
