While I like idea of public transportation, I've always hated the execution. I don't mind if I'm allowed to stand and it's a short trip, but flying is the absolute worst.
The seats are about the width of my rib cage, so my shoulders and arms project out on both sides, usually into the face of whoever is next to me and into the aisle on the other side. Because F-NO I'm not sitting in the middle, I'd probably eat somebody if they made me.
My thighs are longer than the distance between the seats so one of my knees is always up painfully mashing my shin into the bottom of the tray, and the other leg is out in the aisle. I end up spending most of a transatlantic flight standing and walking around just to not be in the seat.
