Before the pandemic, flying for me was as easy as riding a bike as I had gotten to know the airline industry inside and out after taking countless flights. I would often book the cheapest flight on any airline, arrive at the terminal just a few minutes before boarding, and breeze through the airport like George Clooney's character in "Up in the Air," still making it to the gate before my row was called.

Had it not been for a kind gate agent, I would have had to either take the middle seat or hope that I could change seats mid-flight. This came just after I had taken a Delta flight where all middle seats and some aisle seats were blocked.
