    well, no, it wasn’t, but an empty seat next to them meant there was an empty seat next to them, not that there were other empty seats, it seems that the couple asked if they could change seats, which would seem to indicate there were other empty seats, but the couple may have just wanted to have other people take their seats instead of them

      If the person died coming back from the bathroom there was at least one other empty seat. :)

      If the deceased was travelling with anyone else, just move everyone around…

        Forcing her traveling partner to sit next to her corpse would hardly be better.

          True. I can’t imagine having that conversation at all, much less in an enclosed space like an airplane…

          “Pardon me, are you travelling with (person)? About that…”
