I hate the airlines, but I hate sitting next to fat people to. What to do?
Well, the answer for tubby is to book his flight and select an isle seat online. Then, book a full fare refundable ticket and select the middle seat next to him. Its best to book this second seat in his wife’s name because the airlines make the ticket agents remove duplicate bookings in their spare time. Then simply don’t show up for the refundable seat. And, unless the flight is over sold, it will stay vacant. Voila two seats for the price of one.
That don’t work with Delta....they oversell every flight...
