Are you a window flier or aisle seater?

It's an interesting question. I prefer the window seats because they offer privacy, a great view from above and also you won't have people climb over you. But I also like the aisle seats, first because you have a view of the rest of the passengers and their peculiar habits and also because you can stretch your legs out easier. But 90% of the flights I take, I sit on the window seats.
You?

Who in their right mind would want the aisle seat?

Window seat! With aisle seats you always run the risk of having to get up and sit down again because people in the windows seats have to go to the toilet etc.

I enjoy the cold draw of windows, thinking about what seperates my face from the turbulence just millimeters away, admiring what's below.

I don't fly enough for its magic to be spent from me. I still get excited driving a car, so I'm not sure if it ever will.

I definitely prefer the isle seats, because it allows for greater escape utility; being trapped within one of those flying death engines would be mortifying! :pacifier:

Window seat for me. I don't have to run to the toilet as often.

Window.

I never get tired of looking out of it. Also better privacy and something to lean my head against, which helps me sleep. And I have good bladder control too, so having to run to the bathroom all the time is not an issue for me.

Window. If I've gone to a washroom beforehand chances are I won't have to get up during the flight, and I'd much rather have a view outside than a view of the rest of the passenger cabin.

I have long legs- I need to stretch them any chance I can get.

I have a SLIGHT case of claustrophobia. If I'm in an anxious state- it is exacerbated. So being in the window seat makes me feel trapped. (Not that being stuck in a huge metal tube in the sky doesn't in and of itself make me feel trapped- but still.)

Aisle - so I can get away from people who won't shut the hell up. ;)

Window. Just don't drink too many complementary beverages.

Window, so I can lean against the wall, more comfortable for sleeping! And seeing the sun rising and setting, while high above the clouds, and the topography of the places, where you take off from, and land, it's quite an amazing sight! Like an aerial map!

(I've been on one of the longest direct flights - 16hrs, and let me tell you, where you sit, makes a world of difference - and especially that you are not sitting directly behind or in front of fidgety people and/or KIDS!!!)

Aisle. Started out as window, but the novelty of the view wears off pretty quickly (and I don't even fly that often). And I like complementary beverages - not to mention overpriced airport lounges are about the only thing to do if you have a stopover. So ease of toilet access is key.

Window. I like looking at how the landscape changes and how tiny everything is. Plus I do t have to get up to let anyone out.

Further to my pref for the aisle seat: I get SUPER bored looking out of the window! :ack!: I prefer to be bothered than to do the bothering. Also, if I'm sitting near someone annoying, I can leave if I'm in an aisle seat. I hate being trapped next to drunks/motormouths/people who think my arm rest is a communal one.

Window because I can press my face against it. It's also a way to exercise my bravery in case that gremlin thing from Twilight Zone shows up.
