Why does the arm rest _need_ to be down during approach? Doesn't this rather make evacuation more difficult? #airbaltic

Oh, come on, #AirBaltic. Pre-booked an inflight meal. Flight attendant comes at some point, asks for my boarding pass. "I need to check if you are the right person." Told her my name, "ah yes", asked if she still wanted to see my boarding pass. "No, I believe you."

Of course you do. Who else would sit on _my_ f*ing seat? And who has their boarding pass ready in the middle of the flight?
