Aircraft with three-a-row seating have four armrests, one by the window, two in the middle, and one by the aisle.

Many passengers who are assigned a seat in the middle row believe that they are entitled to two armrests.

However, as the flight attendant noted, each passenger is entitled to only one armrest.

One of them serves solely as a separator.

Each passenger can use the armrest on the right - on the right side and the left - on the other side.

The flight attendant stressed that the armrest in the aisle should remain free for carts and people walking around the plane.
