transatlantic = no view... no point in getting window

most preferably, i choose the emergency exit seats or the 1st row behind 1st class... more legroom to be had 🙂

always aisle

window is good only for takeoff and landing, its not worth 10 hours of climbing over people

I made it from Chicago to London without using the bathroom
 
window for me...i sleep so much better with my head against the window and would probably only use the bathroom once, twice at the absolute most.

 
While it would be a bitch to have people keep climbing over me, I'd have to go with the aisle seat because of the length of my legs.

Aisle seat if it's a full flight, or if there's enough room that you can take 2 seats for yourself, window.

How can I know before I book the ticket if the flight is full or empty? 😕
 
Window seat. If I am going down I want to know two things before the impending doom:

1)waht the hell I am going to hit
2)whether or not I will be taking anyone else (besides my commrades on the plane) out with me😀
3)I want to be able to see the fireballs and sh!t😀
 
Isle seat hands down. You feel a lot more free and able to move which is a big thing on long flights..expecially 14 hour ones that seem to NEVER end. The best business class ones are the ones in the front of a collum of seats. Where there is all that extra space.

That's three things. 😛
 
Aisle so I'm not cramped and don't have to walk over others. I'd much rather be on the aisle and move out of the way so someone else could get out than have to ask. Why? Well, if they're sleeping, I'd hate to wake them up.

He has a flight tomorrow morning, so WINDOW = View.

I also prefer window over aisle because I can rest my head. And sometimes when it gets too boring, you can look out (even if it is night time, you can look out and try to find something in the dark).

Getting a seat near the wings has few drawbacks. More engine noise and restricted view because of the wings. But then again, during night, you can atleast see the lights on the wings and pass some time by trying to judge the frequency of their flashing 😛 (hey, its just something to do to pass the time when your laptop battery is almost dead)

 
window, so I don't have people constantly climbing over me as I'm trying to sleep or read.

even in a long flight I'll only use the bathroom maybe once, but every time I end up in the middle of the aisle, it seems like the other people are getting up and down a dozen times an hour.

i cannot sleep or be comfortable on any seat on the plane. My shoulders are t0o wide for the seats.

Next international flight i take i will splurge and ride first class.

Business/first class truly kicks ass.
 
ANYTHING but the damn middle seats!

I've never been in them, but it would suck super hard having two gits either side of you.
