I like airlines that have options for seating, even if I have to pay for it. I would never had chosen to sit in exit seat where I couldn't recline or even sleep bc the headrest didn't work.
Verified travelerFlew with United AirlinesSFO-EWRDec 2023
Don’t be gate lice. Standing in walkways leaving a narrow thruway for those trying to get to other gates is antisocial and should be embarrassing for the offenders. Making travel more arduous for others is a faux pas not you winning a zero sum game.
