Makes me wonder if we'll ever see global free roaming?
TMobile is pretty much that now. Some small places, like in Africa, are not, but the entire first world is free roaming. That's why we use it for travel.

Why, because they are narrow and only one passenger can use them?

That and they take up seat space and I don't want my arms resting on them.

So the chair at your desk, arms or no?
I guess I like the forced separation between people that an armrest brings. Even if I can't use it. The worst would be for no armrests and a very large person to be, leaning on me the whole time...

Nope, I really dislike armed chairs. I have no idea what those arms are for, they are never in a place where you would want your arms to go and when I am at my desk my arms are engaged at the computer.

The armrests actually make it harder for them to get away. Not the armrest on your side by the one on the other.

That's only true on the isle side. The window is preventing it there, and well the middle person is just hosed. lol

The window has more room than the others because it doesn't have an arm rest.

Not true. Every plane I have ever been on has an armrest on the window side. Including the two I flew to and from Japan.

Maybe I have gotten "lucky" or have missed it.

Oh, maybe it goes up and I always push it out of the way and forget that it was there?
