I wonder if any of you ever tried sitting on the aisle. It’s a hazard there, constantly being hit by anything and anyone who passes by. No way I’m “resting” on that armrest and therefore I’ll lean towards the middle seat.
I managed to extend my elbow into the aisle just as a flight attendant was rushing forward and the poor lady doubled over in pain from the impact. As a large guy, I felt pretty bad, and it's not the first time someone has made contact with my passing by.
Aisle lets you get up anytime you want, but also forces you to get up twice as much as the middle seat. But mainly in the middle seat you never have to be afraid of people bumping into you, which affects you for most of the flight.
