The Final Frontier at 30,000 Feet

The unspoken most valuable piece of real estate on your flight isn't what you'd might expect.

Overhead space?
Legroom?
Isle, window or the dreaded center seat?
Nope.

While all of those are critical to increasing our travel satisfaction nothing rivals the 'unclaimed territory ' that is as precious as the claims staked out west in the hopes of gold.

Can it be shared? Unlikely. Once seat belts are latched and carryons are stowed the showdown of elbows is set to begin. Front, back, middle ... we all try that egalitarian division of the sliver of plastic between us, but ultimately there is always a winning elbow. It's not always the sharpest point or biggest arm but often the most determined that can also play it off as mere necessity that wins the unspoken battle of the cherished arm rest.

Today, I have won this small territory for my 2 hours of bliss for one arm, and one only. All hail the arm rest Queen for a day!
