On board a plane, personal space – even the tiniest bit of extra elbow room – is a luxury. So it’s understandable that when most passengers see an empty row or vacant spot on the aisle, they want to claim it for themselves. Even the most etiquette-minded fliers might be tempted to slyly trade a middle seat with armrest hogs on either side for an unoccupied section just a couple rows away. However, not only is this rude, according to flight attendants, it could also be a serious safety violation.
