Do they give you better airplanes if your flight is in the middle of the night?

Our trip to Mexico used a really bad airline, there was only one arm rest for two people and two arm rests for 3 and if I even touched the arm rest area, I would get negative remarks by my next door passenger and than the shape of my seat did not fit the shape of my bones and I would get soreness from trying to sit in their seat and the aisle was so narrow I was afraid to take a washroom break cause I was worried about turbulence. I had a married man on one side and a bigoted hater on the other. I read airlines go out of their way to give you more comfortable trips for longer rides cause they know your tolerance level might be lower on another ride.

depends what you mean by better... the aircraft that an airline uses on any given flight depends on demand and distance. larger aircraft have more range/fuel capacity than regional jets, and obviously carry more people. airlines do not go out of their way to "give you more comfortable trips for longer rides" they pick use whatever aircraft makes the most sense from a logistical/practical standpoint. you can't take a small (uncomfortable) jet like a crj500 from nyc to LA, for instance, you would need at least an airbus a320 or a Boeing 737 for that

I would look into getting better Airlines to take vacations, sorry about your misfortune in your most recent vacation.

No, they usually give you the ones with mechanical problems beacuae it is so dark out nobody can see tht the landing gear has a flat tire.
