Thanks for the comment. Whenever I fly, I usually just stick with my assigned seat. Since most flights are generally filled, I’ll have occasions when someone will come up to me, and ask if I’ll switch so that they can sit next to someone they know. I usually don’t mind this at all since I’m flying by myself.

Please help me with this…..

If Two brothers are traveling together and are seated in the center section of 3 seats (C-D-E)where 2 seats are occupied and one is vacant.

Is there a rule of ettiquette that says the brothers should sit in C and E, leaving D vacant?

I know the official line would be for them to occupy their assigned seat…..but is there something that is understood in coach airline travel that allows or even encourages the vacant seat between fliers?

Thanks

Rick
