I have come to a realization.

There really isn’t a good seat on a plane. Here is my reasoning for why. FIRST, you have the window seat sitter. It seems like an incredible investment. You get the view, you get an arm and head rest… What more could you want? Oh but wait– did you consider the fact that you are the absolute most annoying person in your row when you have to go to the bathroom? You better be ready to hold that bladder! SECOND, the middle seat sitter. First thing’s first– you better make sure you have a pack of gum because once you yawn, that breath is traveling in all directions… (don’t be that unpleasant mouth breather no one wants to sit next to either). On top of this, you get the luxury of having two arm rests AND two shoulders to rest on potentially… That is, if the people you are sitting in between like you, so MAKE IT COUNT!! And Lastly, the aisle seat AKA what I experienced on the journey to NYC today. Here’s a tip, don’t expect to get a good little nap in– it won’t happen. The flight attendants will continuously bump into you with their carts and startle you out of your deep, 2 seconds of great slumber, and if your feet are .0000094532 centimeters in the walkway, you can guarantee your toes will be trampled so, enjoy!
