Frequent leaflets have secret hacking to get the row for themselves - and other passengers hate it
A massive debate broke out on Twitter on this stratagem by wise couples.
If you've already stolen with the whole row, you know that it is one of the great pleasures of life. Do not worry about sharing the armrest or fighting to find out if the window nuance should be at the top or bottom - everything is your call. This generally occurs by chance, but frequent leaflets , namely couples have secret hacking to mark a row for both. According to The Washington Job , they will do so try their luck By reserving the window and the seat of the aisle, hoping that it will not be a full flight and that a solo traveler will not want a central seat. But this reservation approach has since triggered a debate on the Internet, and many passengers say they cannot support people who do this. Read the continuation to find out how this stratagem works and why he triggered such an intense reaction.

This hacking of seats seems to be a winner-win.
Cunning couples reserve the aisle and the window, as this translates into one of the two favorable results: either the spell smiles and no one ends up sitting between them, or someone reserves the seat and the couple offers to change for one of their non -preferable non -middle seats. It seems to be a win-win scenario.
Now the practice is very debated, thanks to a viral tweet published by writer and director Zack Bornstein December 7. "" To go crazy , "Bornstein wrote." I have just offered the headquarters to the guy sitting between me and my boyfriend on a flight, and he said that he preferred to stay in the middle of the middle between us. ""
A multitude of responses followed, and many rose with Bornstein. "Weird. I had no idea There were people who prefer the middle seat! "Tweeted @Dethvegie. To defend the hack, others said they thought it worked better for the solo traveler.
"I did this several times with my fiancée to try to keep an empty central seat, and I have always felt the worst case, all I do is give someone else a better one Headquarters for free if they are to choose the environment between us, "independent journalist and diffuser Chris Medland tweeted. "Fighting to see Who loses here?"
Others have reassured themselves with average lead, saying that he was in his rights to keep his place.
Many have shared their experiences using this reservation method - and some have had similar experiences in Bornstein. Others defended man in the middle, who paid for this specific seat.
Some have really reprimanded Bornstein for having used this tactic. "So you say he wanted to stay in the seat he paid ? "A tweet of December 8 we read." It does not owe you an explanation or a reason. It seems that you have taken a chance to reserve an aisle and a window, hoping that the environment would remain empty, it did not work. If you want to be assured of seats together, reserve them this way. ""
@Incognitomeems said that Bornstein had obtained what he deserved. "This is what you get to reserve a Allée and a window , hoping that no one will reserve the central seat and you will have the whole row for you, "said the tweet of December 8.
For his part, Bornstein stuck to his arms, calling the "psychotic" Twitter responses. He erased the questions from other Twitter users and alleged that the traveler did not have the best flying label. "We also offered the window, no, it did not seem nervous at all, and yes, he shelled 3 bags full of salmon jerky on a 5.5 hour flight."

Some travelers stay in the middle to prove a point.
In response to the Bornstein tweet and the resulting debate, the Twitter user @tangotiger conducted an investigation To find out where everyone was standing on the issue. The prompt asked: "If you had a central seat on a plane, and there was a couple sitting in the aisle seat and the window seat on each side, you would accept an offer to go to the 'One of the two seats? If so, which one? "
The final results included the preferences of 27,803 respondents, 44.6% saying that they would say yes and would go to the aisle. This was followed by the 41.8% of respondents who said they would also agree to go to the window instead. 3.2 percent said they prefer the middle, but 10.4% said they would not move out of spite, hoping to "spoil the pleasure".
In response to the Bornstein tweet, some congratulated the man at the middle of the environment for not having forced Bornstein. "That meanness level Warm up my heart, "wrote @allam_hamdi.
There are couples who prefer to sit, but others have a different strategy.
Interestingly, however, some couples prefer to have someone between them, for several tweets and a declaration of the on -board agent Rich Henderson . During a flight with his mother, they were both on middle seats, and he was sitting between a husband and a woman, said Henderson The Washington Post .
"The woman looks at me immediately, died in the face, and said:" We are not moving, so don't ask "", he recalls, adding that the couple wore noise-made headphones, made a gesture on He and even the wine overturned to him at some point.
If you are not ready to take a bet and end up with a tenacious intermediate place, Brian Stern , editor -in -chief of the newsletter of the airline company company, has a different solution. Flights are normally completely reserved these days, he said, which is why he prefers to reserve seats from each other.
