In a body bag -- especially if your annoying seatmate is an air marshall.

Eat chili before flight, then hand out the "heavy air".

I've done a fair amount of flying and never really had an annoying seatmate...

Oh yeah: except for one woman who was so huge she was taking up half my seat with her girth. That was nasty.

How do I deal with that?

Just ask her if she could kindly show you her ticket. Then, when she shows it to you, ask her why she's taking up part of your seat. Don't wait for a response, just ask the flight attendant if you can get an upgrade to business class. I got bumped up like that twice.

Sweet. I think some airlines charge such passengers for two seats now. I once sat next to a guy who was nearly seven feet tall. He sat in the middle seat, too. Totally unfomfortable the entire flight.

I looked at him and asked "what are you, like seven feet tall?" And he said "yeah, I'm seven feet tall."
