For those of us who travel alot, the armrest battle is a central theme throughout the flight unless you are traveling first class. Brian Lam in Wired this month had a great battle plan:
1. Midway through takeoff, recline your seat 2 inches.
2. Slip your elbow into the gap between your neighbor’s seat back and your own.
3. Slowly pivot your arm forward till it dominates the disputed territory.
