Took the flight from Boston to Seattle in Alaska airlines, the flight was pretty tight and I was on the aisle seat with two neighbors. And guess what, they happened to be friends, found themselves an entire row, and left it for me! And I moved to the window.
So many possibilities opened up! I could sleep! Do the disco! Workout! Take photos of the mountains! Put on mustache and fake glasses and get snacks for three different people! Turn one of the seats into my workspace, one into my resting space, and one to a workout seat. It did totally dial up my options on the 6-hr Boston-Seattle flight! Great times were ahead!
And then a random woman decided to take the aisle seat. And she spread out, occupied the middle seat as well. She turned it into her laundry bag, as she spread her flailing legs and arms all over. I was once again a mouse in this massive airline, a mouse with a good view but a tiny rodent nonetheless. What a fiasco!
I had never noticed airplane seats were so narrow, the footspace so little. I'm a short guy I like to joke that I have too much leg space in the plane, but this was pretty wild. Despite being a man of small build I had to squeeze between the armrests, make sure my legs didn't go to the wrong place. It was not a comfortable seat. One wonders if it's just Alaska, or if the pandemic pounds have really added up to my physique and now my body is of a different build. It's wild times.
