Aisle Or Window Seat?

I'm assuming nobody here likes the scunched seats in the middle when flying.

I like an aisle seat towards the front. If there's a hell, it probably involves a plane ride with a kid kicking the back of your seat and a plane landing where you're stuck in the back of a hot plane while the doofuses (doofi?) in the front take forever to clear off.

Which seat do you prefer?

I love window seats...I like to just stare out of the window at all that lies below...and just daydream and drift off in my thoughts...it's a little less fun when it's cloudy...but I love the window...hate the aisle...ugh..I have to fly this Saturday....I'm really hoping I get a window seat!!

I hate having to wake folks up to get out or reach across them to get food, plus the window seat has less leg room. The view doesn't do anything for me. I always end up sitting over the wing (gremlin that I am), so I can't see squat anyway.

I purchased a plane ticket through Travelocity about a month ago. You get to pick where you want to sit. I'm near the front...and on the aisle.

I'm all about the window seat. I love that view.

I've only flown twice, and on the way over, I had a window seat. VERY cool for a first time flyer as I loved looking out until it got dark. Then, on the way home, I got bumped up from Coach (thank GOD!!) and had a terrific aisle seat. When it's a very long flight (over was about 7 hours, coming home was like 9), I recommend an aisle seat since your legs feel like CRAP if you don't move. Also, pee breaks are good. I loved British Airways.

Aisle seat, no question.....

Easy to get up and far more room to move those legs...

I love a window seat.

I hate the middle seats. I got stuck there once last year.

The worst has got to be when the person next to you talks alot and you don't want to talk. I got to start bring some electronic devices with me.

neither. I will not ever step foot in an airplane, not for a fear of terrorists, but from knowing how some were trained to work on these "oversized s--t carriers".

Let's put it this way, The Tech School I attended back in 1990-1991 was an aeronautical school that also had QC/NDT courses which are my speciality (The QC/NDT courses were not regulated by the FAA as were all the other courses offered. QC/NDT courses were regulated by ASNT)...A well known school in Oklahoma that has been linked with specifically training 2 of the 9-11 hijackers.

I look at it this way, if I end up dying on a plane, at least I died happy. I love flying. And I always try to get the window seat. I haven't yet had the opportunity to go on a really long flight (cross-country or overseas) yet, but I might consider an aisle seat just so I could move around. The great thing about being short is that I don't need a whole lot of room to stretch my legs!

I always ask for the window seat. I love to look out the window and see the view. I usually don't get up to go to the bathroom so I don't need to be on the aisle.
