The armrests become a diplomatic crisis, your shoulders go into &#8220;sorry, sorry, sorry&#8221; mode, and suddenly the snack cart feels like it&#8217;s moving in slow motion. And now that Southwest is officially saying goodbye to open seating on Tuesday, January 27, a lot more people are about to learn what it means to get truly, deeply sandwiched.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Subway, of all brands, saw this moment coming and chose compassion. The sandwich chain just announced a one-day promo aimed straight at middle-seat survivors. If you&#8217;re flying on Tuesday, January 27, in a confirmed middle seat, Subway will give you a $20 Subway gift card so you can turn your travel inconvenience into an actual lunch you&#8217;ll enjoy.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">If you&#8217;re on an eligible 737 flight departing Tuesday, all you have to do is take a selfie in your middle seat and submit it (along with proof of your middle-seat assignment) at SubwayMiddleSeat.com. If you qualify, Subway will send you a $20 gift card you can use on a footlong, snacks, or whatever feels like a small reward for making it through boarding alive.<\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-1fm2v8u e94w1mj9\">\n<h6 class=\"css-18s47pf e94w1mj7\"><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-before\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p0\"\/><span class=\"css-8lle59 e94w1mj5\">Related Story<\/span><span aria-hidden=\"true\" data-theme-key=\"title-design-element-after\" class=\"css-0 eagam8p1\"\/><\/h6>\n<\/aside>\n<\/section>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Subway&#8217;s Chief Marketing Officer Dave Skena <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.subway.com\/2026-01-22-Subway-Makes-the-Middle-Seat-Feel-Like-Group-A-with-Free-Footlongs-As-Open-Seating-Comes-to-an-End\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/newsroom.subway.com\/2026-01-22-Subway-Makes-the-Middle-Seat-Feel-Like-Group-A-with-Free-Footlongs-As-Open-Seating-Comes-to-an-End\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\"said\" data-node-id=\"7.1\" class=\"body-link css-1i7jlb0 emevuu60\">said<\/a> the brand wants to &#8220;turn a bad sandwich into a great sandwich.&#8221; And sure, airplane food is\u2026 airplane food.
