Me: Great news! I just signed in to my flight online and I got the BEST SEATS. The whole airplane is full, but for some reason the row by the emergency exit is empty. You know, the seat with no seat in front of it? With the leg room? So I got them.
Co-worker: Oh God, I hate that seat.
Me: What!?
Co-worker: I'm always afraid I'll flip out and try to open the door.
Me: You can't open the door, actually, but I was thinking more along the lines of leg room...
Co-worker: I'm just sayin'.
Later:
Me: Hey baby--great news! I got us awesome seats on the plane tomorrow.
J: Ok.
Me: You know the seat by the door with no seat in front of it? That's where you're sitting.
J: ...
J: I don't think I understand. Is it near the front or the back?
Me: It's in the middle.
J: Am I next to you?
Me: Of course, you're next to me,
J: I really think I'd prefer an aisle seat.
Me: No, you want this seat. Everyone wants this seat. It's the best seat in coach. It has the most legroom.
J: I guess I'll have to see it. I sort of had a plan. I--no, it's fine.
Me: I guess you'll be thanking me tomorrow, then.
Hey readers! I got these awesome seats! The whole PLANE was full except for the bestest, most choice seating on the plane. And this is from someone who flies A LOT. I know all about the seats in the back that don't recline and smell like toilet, I know about the seats in front of the emergency doors that don't recline, and I know about the short emergency row and the lucky bastard who gets to take advantage of it. Which should be Jason, tomorrow. Unless I kick his ass first.

i still want the aisle seat, buddy. i think i might like the cramped comfort of humanity around me. then again, i might find the same comfort in reciprocating an ass-kicking.
ReplyDeleteoxen!
Ima push you out that exit door. XXOO.
ReplyDeletewell, you are going to need 50-70 lbs. of force.
ReplyDeleteAhem, ahem.
ReplyDelete"The ideal seat is usually in the exit row of economy class. Frequent business travelers dream of having that row, which often boasts more legroom than a first-class or business-class seat, all to themselves. It's also child-free, so they can get their work done in peace and quiet.
Tip: As you can imagine, these coveted seats go quickly. They are blocked off for frequent fliers and often, they aren't released until a few hours before the flight is scheduled to depart. It's best to reserve a seat in economy class, arrive at the airport early, and then ask a ticket agent if there's any availability in an exit row."
YES. THANK YOU. Validation from the internets. I rule so hard.
Validation from H... Exit rows seats are CHOICE. I *always* go to the gate counter and ask for an exit row seat, and they always give me one. I think they might be giving me one by bumping someone else to crap seats though. Make sure you nobody bumps you!
