If possible, reduced mobility people should be booked at a bulkhead

And where do you propose the baby basinets go, and of course those
travelling with said small children?

most of the aircraft I've been in have only two seats on the window

No, most seem to have three. Especially those smaller aircraft used by
people like Easyjet, that only have one aisle.


What's "Easyjet"? I only book whatever flies out of LAX
with the fewest (preferably no) transfers.
