I am telling you if I had the money I would do it every single time.

I hate every single minute of flying in the shitty normal seats, any improvement I would pay it.

Well I already do for the extra space, first rows seats and so on....I haven't but sometimes I have been tempted to buy the seat next to me as well.... but it would require to put somebody else details I guess and they probably with my luck simply fill the seat anyway if the passenger doesn't appear.

On most airlines you can book the adjacent seat - technically for people with musical instruments like cellos or for “passengers of size”, most will let you keep the seat. If the plane is full and they’re trying to get a friend on board they might try to take it away. Tell them you’re worried about covid.

On United, I believe you book the ticket under the name ExtraSeat Lastname.

If you’re traveling with a cello, Cello Lastname works on a lot of airlines.

More complicated for international flights, but domestic is fine.
