What an absolutely abhorrent and grueling trip from Detroit to Osaka! Northwest had the gall to put me in a main row seat instead of the aisle as I always request. I've flown with them for almost 200,000 miles since 2002 and I've been an Elite member flyer for the majority of that time. This flight was so annoying, especially because of the woman beside me (not Hui-chen!) who kept the damn light on for most of the trip. I'm used to being in an aisle seat with Hui-chen on the other side. I'm too big to be sandwiched between 2 people. Plus, as soon as we hit cruising altitude the person in front of me pushed her seat back for the entire time, pinning my knees very well in the process. We are so looking forward to getting back home to Taiwan! The flight boards for Taipei in about an hour.
