Reply To: sitting next to opposite gender on plane

I always request an aisle seat, because I like to be able to get up and move around at my own convenience. It would not bother me to sit next to a woman, as I don’t find a need to use both armrests. I would switch if asked, as long as I get an aisle seat in return. (I also would not want to sit near families with babies or toddlers, but there’s not much one can do about that.)
