Where is your favorite place to sit on a plane?

[Flower7]

Aisle seat.

Middle seat.

Window seat.

I have no preference.

I’ve never been on a plane.

[MuddyMole]

Aisle (long legs).
Towards the back is usually best. It's good right where the fuselage narrows, and there are fewer seats per row (it might go from 6 to 4), meaning you get quite a bit more space there than the row in front.
I've also been bumped up to business class a couple of times, by picking a seat right at the very back of the plane, because the flight attendants like to use those seats for their own personal belongings if the flight's not too busy.

[Flower7]

Good to know! That’s a good tip about possibly being moved up by picking a seat in the very back. I prefer the back anyway, but that would definitely be an added bonus!

[ChrisMaster69]

My favourite is Business window seat.

the best seats though are middle seats towards the rear and within 4-5 rows of an exit.

[Flower7]

Why do you like the middle seats?

[ChrisMaster69]

The % thing on surviving a crash is towards rear and middle seats

[Flower7]

Interesting, I never knew that!

[AviatorTom]

@chrismaster69 If you pick a seat because you think the plane might crash, maybe you shouldn't be flying.

[ChrisMaster69]

@AviatorTom I did a number of years working in Crash n Smash a colloquial name for aircraft recovery unit. I was also an avionics engineer in the RAF, I am more than happy not to fly, I do it fairly regularly, however I know what the bodies look like after than final stop.

[ChrisMaster69]

@Flower7 thank you for MHG, most appreciated

[WindAtMyBack]

I prefer window seats. Flying is boring as hell, so I look out the window for something to do. Also, I've traveled by ground extensively, so I like to figure out where I'm at from the air. Sometimes it's hard to tell because a lot of features disappear at that altitude.

[Flower7]

Right, at some point, there’s nothing showing but clouds.

[AviatorTom]

Back when I traveled a lot on business, that was a standard question for our company travel agent. My answer went like this:
On a short domestic flight, aisle seat - it's quieter and I can get up without bothering anyone
On a long international flight, window seat - so I can sleep without being bothered by someone

[Flower7]

I just noticed your username has “aviator” in it. Is it because you’ve flown a lot?

[AviatorTom]

@Flower7 As my profile says, I'm not a pilot, but I used to travel a lot on business all over the world, more than a million miles in my career in commercial aircraft. I flew so much that, after a while, I kinda felt like a pilot.

[Flower7]

Yes, I wasn’t thinking you were a pilot. It’s just that your comment mentioned that you’ve been on a lot of planes because of your company.

[DonkeyDan]

Generally I like to sit on the inside it tends to be less windy than out on the wing lol.
I always get an aisle seat if I'm flying in cattle class which isn't often. I usually fly in first class as even the normal seats with extra legroom are never enough room for me, so with an aisle seat at least I can sit with my legs out on the aisle for lot of the flight.

[horatiohornblower]

I prefer the window seat. I hate having to get up frequently to let other people in and out of the bathroom. Unless the flight is over four hours. I probably won’t need to get up.

As for where on the plane. Unless there’s no choice to do so. I prefer first class. It costs more but it’s worth it. To avoid leg cramps.

[t-8900]

I hate planes, ladders, rock or rope climbing, bridges, scaffolds... my feet are made for the earth beneath.. I have a flight coming up and im nervous af. I don't want to look out the damn window and i don't want to remember im in the air. Give me the aisle seat and also let me drown myself in my handheld devices to try to forget.

[abc3643]

First Class, of course.

However, if I am not in First Class, an exit row. If the plane is not full and there is not assigned seating (like with Southwest Airlines), then the last row.

[Flower7]

Interesting, I didn’t know that some airlines let people sit wherever they want.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I hate flying honestly, it's a big fear I have!
I usually go by train, so I supposed I would probably take the same spot I take on the train - a window seat, so I can look outside.

[Flower7]

Have you ever been on a plane?

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

More than once, and it wasn't as horrible before. But sometime in the last year I started to dread flying for some reason, and now the thought makes me shiver. I didn't have this fear beforehand.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

If I could I would sit on the wing outside the plane however I’ll settle for a windows seat if it was a short flight & if it’s a long flight aisle so I can stretch my legs.

[Flower7]

Lol, I’m sure you’d have a good time out on the wing!

[Static_In_The_Attic]

A party on the wing & I’m sure you will join me right?

[Flower7]

With enough alcohol, I probably would.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

That’s cheating, you can have the booze when the plane lands. You can be my wing girl.

[Flower7]

Ok, I’d do that!

[Static_In_The_Attic]

Do you want to fly on the right wing or the left wing or tail wing?

[Flower7]

The tail wing would be nice. So no one would see us.

[Ninani]

I'm a window seat person. Less bother and I can take a nap without worry of being interrupted unnecessarily.

[Flower7]

I love the window seat too.

[WhiteSteve]

Window. I try to sleep through the flight, and that’s the only seat where I can lean against the wall.

[Flower7]

Makes sense! It’s really hard to stay upright while sleeping.

[wankiam]

window seat but even better if its the one by the door so i get some leg room too

[Flower7]

The best of both worlds!

[wankiam]

yeah, only happened once and i had to agree to open the door if we crashed before i got the hot spot but yeah it was cool and then on the same flight when i went to the baggage claim my suitcase was the first one out... i felt blessed lol

[Flower7]

Very nice! 😊

I didn’t realize the only requirement for exit row is just to open the door. I’ve always avoided it because I thought it was a whole list of complicated things.

[wankiam]

i think they prefer a strong looking guy and ofcourse gave me a ''crash'' course in how to unlock it in the event of needing to

[DizzyDesii]

Window seat so i can rest my head. Aisle seats provide too much room and middle seats dont provide enough room. I need a seat in the center section of the plane, away from the bathroom and away from the boarding door

[Still-alive]

I like window seats. I enjoy watching when we fly over land

[Flower7]

I like the window too. Especially if we’re over a city.

[RebeccaBI2000]

I prefer the window, but it sucks if You have to use the bathroom

[Flower7]

I never ever use plane bathrooms. I always just use the one in the airport.

[RebeccaBI2000]

I try not to

[MTC29]

Under three hours- window seat. On longer flights I want to sit on the isle so that I can stretch my legs a bit and get out of my seat without climbing over anyone else.

[jessicarosen]

Aisle seat, just in front of the wing. That is the smoothest flight experience.

[Flower7]

Do you mean there’s less turbulence there?

[jessicarosen]

Yes.

[jessicarosen]

That spot is the least bumpy of all seats on the plane.

[Flower7]

Interesting, I didn’t know that!

[jessicarosen]

Try it next time if you can. :-)

[douride2]

I always like a window seat towards the back of the plane.

[Flower7]

Same here! That’s my favorite spot also.

[Kabluie]

While I'm tall and I should say aisle seat since you get more leg space, I always like window because I like knowing where I am in the sky. Even in the middle of the night crossing the Atlantic Ocean.

[andreasderjuengere]

I'd prefer the rear seat. But pilots don't like me sitting there

[anon171999]

Away from the bathroom.

I don't like planes. They look so ugly when they are flying in the sky.
