My seatmate was really something on a recent United Airlines flight…
Instead, I found myself seated in the bulkhead row in economy class. On the 757-300, while economy class seats are configured 3-3, row eight has only two seats, 8D and 8E (there is no window seat because of the emergency exit door). I’d rather take this seat knowing I’ll have a seatmate than hoping for an open middle seat but invariably winding up with a passenger in the middle.
Moments afer I took my seat, a woman sat down next to me, popped off her shoes, and immediately put her feet up on the bulkhead.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
