Flight crew said 'middle seat last row' saves money, now I'm stuck
A gate agent in Phoenix told me to book the last row middle seat because it's always the cheapest, so I did for a 6 hour flight to Chicago. Turns out that seat is right by the galley and bathroom, so I heard every cart, flush, and crew chat with zero recline. Anyone else get burned by this 'hack' and have a better trick for scoring cheap seats without the misery?
