With the big announcement from United Airlines that it will soon be offering an economy plus row with a shared table instead of a middle seat passenger, we get into a full “middle seat “discussion. First, how much would you be willing to pay to avoid someone sitting next to you, and second, what exactly are the rules around middle seat boundaries? Who gets the armrests, and what do you do if you find yourself in the middle, of a middle seat horror story? We also discuss the actual BENEFITS of a middle seat, although T.J. isn’t buying any of them.
