Middle Seat

Sunday redeye. Eight strangers, a service dog, a cat in a carrier, and a baby. Good luck.

1. Diana and her husband Marcus are both Platinum — booked first class. They want to sit together (same side of the aisle).
2. Mia is bringing her cat (carrier under the seat). She wants an aisle — no middle.
3. Owen is severely allergic to cats. He needs at least 2 rows between him and the cat. He also wants a window — naps.
4. Brad is flying with a service dog. The dog needs floor space — no middle seat, and FAA forbids exit row.
5. Alex and Jordan used to date. It ended badly. They cannot sit next to each other.
6. Alex is a Gold elite — never sits past row 3.
7. Jordan is also Gold — also won't sit past row 4.
8. Hannah has the bassinet baby — she needs the front row of economy.
9. Eli is on Hannah's lap, so he rides along (no separate seat).
10. Tom is 6'5" — needs the exit row, with an aisle.
11. Pria is a CEO trying to sleep — she needs at least 2 rows between her and any kid OR pet, AND a window.
