I think I've mentioned this, but my wife and I always book aisle/window and hope that no one is in the middle. Used to work maybe half the time, but not anymore with travel demand/flights being cut. Still no big deal, as anymore will prefer the window over the middle and gladly switch.
But, it's crazy to me that on one of our flights from Greece, with plenty of seats still available, someone has booked and chosen (or I guess was assigned, and has not changed) the middle seat between us. Willfully flying solo in a middle seat for 9.5 hours is serial killer shit.
They are hoping to grope you
