Window seat etiquette on flights

    I wear shorts every chance I can get but never on planes, for all those reasons plus I subscribe to the very outdated notion of dressing up just a bit to travel.

    As for window vs. aisle, I was all window until 15 years or so ago, when I started turning into my father in a hundred ways -- including affinity for the aisle. Just feel like I have a bit more room somehow, even if that's not really true. And since I became a parent, I don't need to be cocooned by the window to sleep. Just give me a couple hours off the grid and I'm out, in any seat.

    You do have more room, though. Even if it's disguised as all that sweet, empty, non-encroaching air on your aisle side.

    I'm as tall as you and I prefer the window, but as I said, that's because I sleep. If I'm on the aisle and fall asleep, I know I'm going to end up with my leg out in the aisle.

    I think he was speaking more of your Larry Lester-like qualities. Did Andrew Clark tape your buns together in high school?

    No, we had ways to handle Andrew Clark.

    Is it ever OK to recline?

    Yes, in first or business class.

    Never in coach/economy.

    Huge pet peeve. Amazed at how often it happens. I never recline. About half my transatlantics (in coach), I get some dipwad trying to tattoo my forehead with the little movie screen on the back of the seat.

    The more operative question, is it then OK to kick him or her in the lower back over and over again, to make a point?

    So you are barefoot when you have to put the flip flops on the conveyor belt and walk through the x-ray machine? Sorry, man, that is rank.

    Hell yes it's ok. If you don't want someone reclining in front you, buy the first class ticket. Otherwise deal with it.
