Despite what you here or see in this forum, when it comes to AS flyers (We may fight amongest ourselves from time to time, but we really do get along!!): You are in great company! Most AS flyers are the most gratious folks in the world who will help you in any and every way.

Yeah, the AS forum is definitely a friendly, happy place! I flew on a DL MD-90 in 10A or whatever row is missing a window there, too. While we were at the gate, it sounded like a jet engine was right outside my "window," and when I peered out through another window, I saw that a yellow tube was attached to the plane somewhere under my seat. I asked about this on the DL forum, and I got called an idiot for not knowing, despite the fact that several posters couldn't agree on exactly what it was (I think the final consensus was that it was either an intake or an exhaust for the HVAC system, so yes, Dave89077 is probably correct that it's HVAC ducting being routed through there...).
