Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
I took a 15-hour overseas flight that began around midnight. I sat by a window, and both seats next to me happened to remain unoccupied. The cabin lights dimmed after the meal, and everyone began settling in to sleep.
She indicated that she has a neck issue, and presumably wanted the window seat so she could rest her head against the wall, as I was planning to do. I told her I would prefer to keep our assigned seats, and I had hardly finished saying this when she nodded vigorously and seemed very embarrassed to have even asked.
I was torn between guilt and irritation. I paid slightly extra for the window seat because I prefer it, especially if I’ll be sleeping. I also don’t like switching around seating. So you acted reasonably. But now Miss Manners wonders whether you could have suggested that the lady take the aisle seat, recline it slightly and then lean against the empty middle seat.Now that the weather is warm, my wonderful neighbor is outside more often. I had not seen her without a winter coat for quite a while, and it turns out she has lost a significant amount of weight.
