i understand all of those and do my best to follow those except for the one about the movie. what happens at the end of the movie. I usually try to wait until the end of the movie if i can.

Thanks for your swell opinion.

Exactly what else was I to do to get out of the seat, then? As someone else mentioned, you have to shimmy out with either your butt or your front bits in the nonmoving seatmate's face. Should I have simply stayed in my seat and wet myself in order not to inconvenience my fellow passenger??

I'd love to hear your opinion on this.

Incidentally, I chose the "butt-in-face" method so that I could at least hold onto the seat in front of the seatmates, so as not to fall into said seatmates' laps.

Ah, we live in a strange world when the discussion moves to whether we present our fanny or our fanny (think about it. If necessary ask in the BA forum) to our seatmate.

I'm a charter member of the TWBC* but very much prefer window seats for longer flights if I'm in a premium cabin. So, this is something I do my best to manage around by using the facilities before takeoff, before and possibly after meal service and then once more before descent.

Knowing the seating is, um, more compact in coach, I'll often bite the bullet and take an aisle seat as it's better for my long legs as well. It doesn't bother me in the slightest if someone needs to get up. As others have said, I use the opportunity to stretch my own legs.

It's even more fun when you are in a window seat and the aisle seat occupier(s) are asleep..........

I always aim for the aisle since I drink H2O constantly on flights and am usually the one heading to the lav. Therefore, it would be terribly hypocritical of me to get upset with someone for using the lav

I don't have a problem with being either the movee or the mover.

And it always seems that if I'm on the aisle (or, god forbid, middle), I'll actually be able to fall asleep...only to be awakened by the window passenger. If I'm on the window, I won't be able to fall asleep, but the size of my bladder will shrink.

Going to the bathroom is a normal human function. Being in a small metal tube sometimes for many hours requires consideration for others. If one does not want to be disturb, a window seat is the way to go (I personally find window seats much more comfortable).

I never get irritated if i have to get up for someone to use the lavs, but i do wonder what would happpen if I was sleeping on either the new C class seats on UA or the PS seats and someone needed to get past me... Could they just step over?

PS F (Spacebed) is no problem.
PS C (old int'l C) is difficult unless you are in row 5, 6 or 9.
New int'l C on UA is doable as well.

If I'm in C window and the person is asleep, I'll try to step over them. I'm rather tall, however, so I can usually do this without disturbing the passenger next to me or anyone in front of me.

If I'm in Y (whether the person is awake or asleep) or if I'm in C and the person is awake, I'll politely let them know I have to get up. (For some reason I feel awkward asking the aisle to get up, so informing them I have to get up usually serves the same purpose.)

If you fly longhaul C from/to the Far East, you may want to try the SQ 77W with the 1-2-1 config that means every pax has direct aisle access. While I generally think SQ is a bit overrated, this config is by far the best C-class hard product available anywhere. ^
