I recently had a flight where I sat next to a mother (35 +/-) / daughter (14 +/-) and listened to how truly obnoxious teens can be. From the conversation, it was a single mom, carrear 1st, 2nd and always (except for skiing trips with teen), and all I could think was, Ashrenu, mah tov chelkenu!
(And what good kids I have) .
From my experinece, women hardly ever bother male co-travellers, so its not an issue for me to be seated next to a woman. If you don’t try and be chatty, you can fly for hours without a sound.
Also helps that my “geshtel” broadcasts lound and clear: married, frum, and not open to dialouge.
