Flight attendant rules who gets the middle armrests on planes & most passengers won’t be happy
LANDING the middle seat on a plane is bad enough, but the situation is made ten times worse by a battle over the armrest with neighbouring passengers.
A flight attendant has now sought to put all elbow wars to rest, by clarifying who gets ownership of the middle ground.
Cabin crew member Boris Millan was speaking on the with host LJ Salerno, when he said: "They did a lot of research in the UK for some reason about this - when you sit in the middle seat, you get to have..."
At which point LJ interjects: "You get both armrests!" And Boris agrees: "It's common sense, guys. It's common sense."
The decision is unlikely to be popular with most passengers - as it discounts two out of three people in each row.
But Travel Expert, Rosie Panter has backed this up, telling : "It’s universally accepted that the middle seat passenger has drawn the short straw, so they should get the luxury of both armrests,"
She said: “Space is something that humans and animals fight wars over – it’s the most inflammatory thing.
"It’s why people whose garden wall is half a centimetre to the right can fight with their neighbours for years. We can’t avoid being territorial.
