(11,949 posts)Injuries, fake foreign language etc. Just politely say no. Its not hard. After all you paid for it they did not. I will only fly Aisle seat. I am a big guy. And a tip...the Asile armrest that doesnt go up. Well it does. There is a little hole under the back of the rest with a button in it. Push the button and the arm goes up. Have never had a flight attendant comment on it and makes long flights so much better. .
That said, I dont fly Southwest. As a previous poster mentioned, I have a travel rewards card. All my bills are charged to it. Power, phone, gas, electric, gas. All of them. And of course paid.
I only fly about 3 times a year. Only on Delta if I can help it. And with my credit card points I have no problem flying domestic first class and when I go international, which I do once a year, fancy pants coach.
Im one of the strange Americans that still enjoys flying. I got global entry which includes TSA Pre and means I dont have to strip down to fly.
And my credit card allows me access to lounges for layovers.
And no, Im not rich.
