“Who has the right to the armrests?”
“anyone who has ever been on an airplane has experienced the dilemma: what passengers are entitled to the middle armrests? when it was first come first served, or should the poor fellow in the middle to get at least a little bit of luxury?nVi has talked with some of Aftonbladet’s most discerning business or leisure profiles to get the answer to the question. “
“You sit in one of the charterplanets hard seats and obviously wants to be as comfortable as possible despite the fact that you are squeezed between the lines of the ekonomiklassen. But for the good the tuning’s sake you don’t want to make the passengers next to irritated by encroaching too much on their space. “
“When three persons are to share four armrests arises always the question: whose is the two armrests in the middle, really? “
“We have talked with three of Aftonbladet’s most discerning business or leisure employees about the code of conduct which applies on the aircraft. “
“Johan Gunnarsson, a travel reporter:”
“– to make it easy for themselves, so you always have the right to the armrest which is to the right of the one. For the simple reason that it leans a little to the right of the aircraft, that is to say, away from the aisle. Even those who are left-handed and may have a natural inclination to the left may not lean to that way because then they end up in time and collide with flygvärdinnornas wagons. So really it has only three armrests for the against time does not count. “
“What place do you sit anywhere?”
“– I always try to choose the place against the window then I can press myself against the corner to be so little in the way as possible. For me is nightmare to end up in the middle then you have to fold up so much in order not to disturb the others. “
“How is it a good seatbuddy?”
“– You can do as best we can, respect each other and try to see it as an invisible wall from the armrests and up. Do not go in and take as much of the neighbor’s side. “
“Tobbe Ek, nöjesreporter and columnist:”
“– the poor fellow who sits in the middle have the right to both and the most part of the mid-armrests. There is no doubt about the matter, you are against time you can sit outside, you sit by the window you can lean against the wall but in the middle you just get to sit there, and then you get the armrests. “
“it is not Possible to share the armrest?”
” If they are so great that they are going to share so the person in the middle, atleast have the right to two-thirds of the armrests. I say it just to sit in the middle is so much obekvämare than to sit in window or aisle. “
“Which seat do you choose?”
“– I always choose again, I would like to be able to travel to me and go to the toilet without having to climb over the mass of people. I am not sleeping jätteofta on the aircraft and do I make it so I am not easily aroused, then I can still travel on me if anyone needs to go past. “
“Frida Söderlund, reporter and columnist:”
“– It is already very, very sorry for the sitting in the middle. Those that are on the sides already have something of their own to lean against. I think that you should ”cut some slack” to the one who sits in the middle, it is absolutely snällast for it is already asjobbigt as it is. “
“What place do you sit anywhere?”
“– Far out, then you can go to the bathroom whenever you want, you need not to disturb or awaken anyone who is asleep. I like to be able to touch me freely, I get so restless so I want to be able to get up and walk a bit. “
“Has anyone asked you to move your arms any time?”
” People are a little bit sneaky, especially if you are about to fall asleep, he takes the opportunity and starts to buff a little. It is so unpleasant. It is a little Swedish I think, they do it surreptitiously and hope they are not found. “
