Frankie Muniz Shares His Dislike for the Middle Seat
Frankie Muniz, known for his role in Malcolm in the Middle, has a relatable pet peeve: he despises being seated in the middle on airplanes.
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, while promoting his #NotInTheMiddle initiative with Spirit Airlines, Muniz humorously recounted, “Throughout my life, people have approached me thinking they’re hilarious. They often say, ‘Put Frankie in the middle!’ I jokingly respond that getting a picture of me on either side is quite rare.”
The former child star mentioned that he has come across numerous social media posts where fans share their encounters of him stuck between two passengers. “They’ll post things like, ‘I saw Frankie Muniz and he was trapped in the seat-saver-tips-for-next-flight/” title=”Say Goodbye to Middle Seats: How This United App Feature Can Transform Your Next Flight!”>middle seat,’” he laughed.
A Comfortable Solution with Spirit Airlines
Fortunately for Muniz, flying with Spirit Airlines means he can avoid those uncomfortable middle seats altogether. Thanks to their Go Comfy travel option, he can enjoy extra space by having a guaranteed blocked middle seat along with one checked bag and one carry-on bag included. This package also offers priority boarding and complimentary snacks and non-alcoholic drinks.

The Dilemma of Armrests
Muniz expressed his confusion about armrest etiquette when seated in the middle. “Who actually gets to use both armrests? Do you get none? I’m not one to claim them,” he pondered aloud. He prefers having either a window or aisle seat without anyone occupying the space next to him—ensuring comfort no matter where he’s seated.
Navigating Seating Preferences
The Dancing With The Stars participant is currently contemplating whether his preference leans more towards window or aisle seating during flights. “For most of my life, I’ve always chosen window seats,” he shared. “However, recently I’ve started appreciating aisle seats more because they offer freedom from asking someone else to move.” He admits it’s a tough choice but now enjoys both options without worrying about being squeezed into a center spot.

A Nod to His Iconic Role
Muniz remarked that his collaboration on #NotInTheMiddle aligns perfectly with how audiences remember him—as Malcolm Wilkerson from Fox’s beloved sitcom which aired from 2000 until 2007.
When asked what seating arrangement Malcolm would likely end up with while traveling alongside family members, Muniz quipped back at Us Weekly:, “I have an idea about which seat he’d be stuck in; however, if he’s flying Spirit’s Go Comfy option, that’s no longer an issue.”
