As I type this post - I'm flying across the country. I'm a frequent traveler. Last month I logged nearly 20,000 miles. Yet here I find myself in Coach - Middle seat for 5 hours.<p>I can not move.<p>I can only type in a way that contorts my hands un naturally.<p>How did it come to this? Can we as entrepreneurs not solve this problem some how?<p>I challenge you HN - Fix this... if not for us then for our children.
The problem you are referring to is solved already - it's called frequent flier miles and free upgrades, or paying for the additional space.<p>Elite status with United means you are almost definitely going to be 'economy plus' at the least, which means extra leg room etc. For me it means I am almost definitely going to be upgraded to business class for free because I usually outrank most others on a flight.
