Joys of night-flights....

Does someone who has paid for one seat have a right to one and a half? Next time someone overflows, consciously and deliberately, into my seat I shall hoist my feet up onto their lap. Which I would quite like to do anyway. So much more comfortable if you can get your feet up.
The reason I don't do it now is because I think that they might not like that level of intimate contact and because I respect their space. But if they won't afford me that courtesy....

Should make for an interesting flight!

Il probably be the one that gets chucked off!

I'd love to be a passenger on that flight, I can just picture it!

Eglantine 19 have read all the posts on this thread, and have to say completely agree with you. To me it's all about spacial awareness, whether on a plane, bus etc., my particular gripes are waiting to pay in a queue, someone behind, maybe in a hurry, stands far too close to me, I guessing here to hurry me up, or the person who parks their car over the designated space in car park so I have problems getting my self and passengers out. The latest is the dog owners who think it's fair game to allow their dogs to hurtle over the field to greet/terrorise my nervous rescue cocker spaniel, saying it's alright, they are friendly, but mine doesn't want a play date, I ask them to call off their dogs, but of course their dogs aren't trained so they aren't able to, I was told yesterday to keep my dog in if she's not sociable, my dog never approaches others, so really as I see it, it's all about what others want, lay all over you in a plane etc., with complete disregard for other people, a distinct lack of manners and social graces!

It is a fact that if a passenger is too big for his/her seat he/she can't help but overflow into the next one. It's not as though sucking in a stomach and holding ones breath is going to do it. Once they choose their seat in cattle class or on a budget airline it's a given.

I think it's a fact that most people are too big for airline seats in one direction or another. I've had real problems with a neighbours long legs and large feet taking too much of my space too.

I would love to upgrade but then I wouldn't afford to go. Perhaps that the answer to world air pollution. Abolish cattle class, then fewer people would travel.
