I was on a Southwest flight and a lady next to me in the middle seat asked to switch with me for aisle before take off, since she had back pains. Ended up switching, but what would u have done?

Looks like you fell for the ‘ol DC dip n’ twirl. The only person with back problems in this situation was you. Stand up for yourself!

I would have said sorry but no, I have back pains too.

Lol no. If she has serious back pains, she could have paid for early boarding, it’s pretty cheap for Southwest

Not me because I prefer aisle. However, if you don’t mind then that was very nice of you :)

You mean she wanted the aisle so she could get up and walk around? Did she get up at all during the flight? Tell her next time to get preboard (it’s free and they can’t ask what your health issue is per HIPAA).

I'm a light sleeper who cares too much about the people around me, but I've got a flight to London next Friday from 7pm NYC time to 7am UK time, and I'd really like to master sleeping on a plane just this once and not be in jet lag hell for the entire day after I land. I'll be in premium economy in an aisle seat. I usually take melatonin before bed and sleep on my side. Does anyone have suggestions for an OTC sleeping pill or pillow that actually works, or other advice for sleeping on a plane?
