The Middle Seat
“No, thank you, I will take any seat but the middle seat,” I reply to the customer service agent. “Sir, you don’t understand, you’ll be sitting in a normal seat in the back if you don’t accept this upgrade to ComfortPlus, but we don’t have a window or aisle, only a middle seat,” the agent […]
