THIS is the “one” you ALWAYS get seated next to, in coach flights from NY to LAX.......They don’t need a wheelchair to board, they need a forklift.

We were seated apart on a flight (cheaper tickets for not sitting together). I overheard a woman say, when she saw my son heading for the empty middle seat next to her, "Oh, thank God, it's the skinny guy!"

My favorite neighbors on an airliner are oriental women, and children. Neither one takes up much space. The women are usually shy, and don’t bother me. The kids are buried in some electronic device, and don’t bother me.
