Planes. Where do you like to sit?

[SnowedIn]

I just landed after a 5 hour flight. Had an aisle seat in an exit row.

Where do you like to sit? First class? Aisle? Window? Middle? Hate flying? Never flown?

[DeeDeeDeVour]

This is an experience I will never forget...

Spoiled ourselves on board a Singapore Airlines First Class Private Suite

Usually, I'd book a window seat on the 1st row of 1st class.

[SnowedIn]

Wow. I am suitably impressed.

[MrOracle]

Singapore doesn't f around. Even the "regular" first class in a hell of an experience.

[FinalFantasyBro]

How expensive is that one

[qwert1234]

Aisle best for me because of the extra leg room, a guaranteed arm rest and ease of access.

The only downside is if the person on the middle/window needs to get up constantly - which rarely happened on my case.

Before the flight, once we boarded, I usually talk to the other persons and tell them they can wake me up if I am sleeping if they need to get up and it's fine. Worked out fine for me.

[SnowedIn]

Great plan and you're a thoughtful person to fly with.

[JDAC092299]

I love and hate the window seat, I love having a view and I love being in a corner so I can’t be sandwiched but obviously that does give you the negative of not being able to leave freely if you need the bathroom as quickly as you’d like to be able to sometimes and I hate that plus can also delay exiting the plane by a little bit but all in all I think it’s the best position 👌

[SnowedIn]

Yeah, excellent points. I used to choose the window but now usually use the aisle so I can go to the bathroom if I have to.

[musicbrain5]

My husband and I need a lot of legroom. We try to get seats in the bulkhead row, and always a window seat and the middle seat. I don’t want strangers climbing over me when they need to use the washroom. If the bulkhead seats aren’t available, we’ll try to get a seat in the emergency exit row lol.

[SnowedIn]

Excellent plan! Where do you stow your bags when you're in the bulkhead? Everything in the overhead compartments?

[musicbrain5]

Yeah, everything has to go in the overhead. That’s the only downside.

[SnowedIn]

Cool, though! You've got a system.

[musicbrain5]

When you’re tall, you have to. Otherwise you get some idiot reclining their seat back and the you’re squished and stuck.

[SnowedIn]

Makes total sense. Yeah, I'm 5'10" so of normal height but not so tall that planes are excruciating.

[Massageman]

Window- with no wing in my way to see the ground. So, on a rear-engine jet, I'd want to be more forward. In a wing-engine jet, I'd want to be more aft, but always a window!!! (Wings have be relatively even with the fore/aft axis of the jet engines).

[SnowedIn]

Really like the way you think!

[Massageman]

Not all that much to see IN the cabin (inflight movies excepted), so I might as well enjoy the experience: can't afford to do it hardly at all any more. :- ). The coolest thing to see was a sunrise as we flew eastbound to a missions trip in Greece. Better than any movie.

[kellytheman]

I only flown first class once and I had the best experience flying with free drinks and actually being comfortable. Flying in coach sucks it if I had to pick i take the window seat. I don't really need to go to the bathroom while flying and I usually take care of it before I board.

[SnowedIn]

Agree with everything you said! :)

[Aerissa_Jade]

I prefer to sit on the inside of the plane, in the giant tube portion.

[SnowedIn]

Very wise choice indeed. I need to think about that next time! 😉

[MrOracle]

That's a damn good idea, Aerissa! It's always so damn windy out there on the wing. Noisy too! And cold! Bet it's nice and warm on the inside...

[mstbooblover]

When given the choice, I always prefer somewhere near a window around the main middle part of the plane. I like to look out of the window and enjoy the view of landscapes and clouds.

[SnowedIn]

That's really a nice place to be.

[DizzyDesii]

I don’t mind flying coach but i need a window seat. I rather fly business class or “comfort” so that its only 2 of us side by side instead of a row of 3. But I've always booked near empty flights because they allow everyone to have a row to themselves regardless of if you paid for that. I wouldn't dare pay for first class unless I was on an overnight (of many nights) flight

[SnowedIn]

This. Right. Here. I prefer aisles but agree with everything else you said! I usually to upgrade to first class if I've got the overnight transcontinental flight. The food sure is better!

[DizzyDesii]

I dont trust olane bathrooms nor food so i dont try either 😂 I dont even my own snack on the flight

[SnowedIn]

I do bring snacks and get a soda or coffee to go with my movie.

[DizzyDesii]

Delta annoys me because one of the connecting flights has tvs on the plane seats but then the next does not

[NathanDavis]

by the window, always, anywhere... I NEED to see the world, and life

[SnowedIn]

That's awesome; thanks!

[ShellyB]

Aisle, if it is a long flight the person sitting w me needs to be prepared to be slept on also.

[SnowedIn]

Love this! Guy on my flight did that today. Thankfully not on me.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

💺

[SnowedIn]

nice!

[DeeDeeDeVour]

@Static_In_The_Attic
I recognize that cockpit.
I have flown on turboprop with such elegant ergonomics.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

on *a turboprop

[andreasderjuengere]

In these sardine cans I don't mind where to sit. As long as there's no toddler next to me.

If I had a license... there would be no second seat.

[SnowedIn]

Right on, sir. Well said.

[LittleMelissa9614]

Window seat. At least so I can rest my head with a travel pillow against it, well as long as I see out the window too.

[SnowedIn]

Very nice plan! When I was little, the seats were big enough that I could curl up in them, like even until I was 10.

[Nikki1989]

Aisle. I like to be able to go to the bathroom without having to climb over people.

[SnowedIn]

Exactly!

[Twalli]

Isle seat, but unless I am going across the ocean, my family drives. I think I flew twice without my family. Once back from a writing camp in Virginia and once going to London. I drove to the writing camp and flew back from London with my parents.

[SnowedIn]

Really cool! Thanks for sharing!

[FreyaRed]

Window place so I can take a nap between Europe and east Asia and nobody disturbs me.

[SnowedIn]

Excellent plan. Nothing worse than someone climbing on you.

[4ngelic]

next to the window. hate being next to the aisle or in the middle row thing

[SnowedIn]

Interesting not liking the aisle! Cool, though. Thank you for answering.

[Curiosity2006]

Oh that's so dazzling! Where are you now? Another continent?

[SnowedIn]

Sadly, not another continent. Seattle, Washington, for the week.

Dazzling is such a wonderful word.

[Curiosity2006]

Hahah it's still mesmerizing to stay at a different place for a change X)
Thanks! <3

[SnowedIn]

I'll post some pics...

[slatyb]

Aisle as far forward as possible. Gets me off the plane faster.

[SnowedIn]

That's exactly what my boss says! :)

[CateM]

Aisle seat and right on the wings because that's the least turbulent part of the plane

[SnowedIn]

Excellent thoughts!

[gerald5466]

it doesn't really matter because i watch movies the whole time so i don't need a window seat but i do like the window seats but i don't have to sit there

[SnowedIn]

Makes perfect sense. What do you watch your movies on?

[gerald5466]

i watch them on my dads macbook

[SnowedIn]

Smart! Great screen! Was curious because I just switched to watching on the large Kindle.

[exitseven]

I have not been on a plane since before 9/11 but I used to prefer the window seat.

[SnowedIn]

Wow. That's pretty cool, actually, in a total number of years sort of thing. Thanks for sharing!

[exitseven]

The long lines and cavity searches made me lose mu appetite for air travel. Now with covid and the moonbats yelling at me for not wearing a mask really turned me off it

[SnowedIn]

Makes total sense. Very cool.

[FunkyMonkee]

Inside. On a seat. Even better, on the lap of a stewardess!!

[SnowedIn]

lmao! Love this. Not sure the FAA would allow that, nor she...

[FunkyMonkee]

Okay then, she can sit on MY lap! We can just talk about the first thing that pops up.

[SnowedIn]

Ba da bahhh! Well played, sir.

[FunkyMonkee]

Thank you! Thank you! Please, no applause, just throw money!

[Ms_Facesitter]

First class, never been but I bet it's nice. So second best, Aisle, I'm need a chance to stretch.

[SnowedIn]

Aisle is right. And, yes, first class is wonderful for those very few times I've flown in it.

[Anonymous]

First class in the single seat if I'm alone, or in a double by the window if I'm with someone.

[SnowedIn]

Good choices!

[bolverk]

Seats where the emergency exits are over the wings, you have way more leg room.

[SnowedIn]

That was exactly my seat this trip. Good plan.

[Redstang88]

Always the aisle seat, need room to stretch out a little

[SnowedIn]

Those couple extra inches are key.

[admles]

Aisle seat, for leg room and because I drink a lot of water when flying it provides easy access to a toilet.

[SnowedIn]

Excellent!

[LemiaOfThunder]

Strdticly the best place to sit is in the middle or back.

[SnowedIn]

Respect this but I still like sitting as far forward as I can.

[Luopio27]

Windows man. By the real windows, not fucking microsoft.

[SnowedIn]

lmao... that made me smile! And, yeah, window seats.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Next to the window, so I could get some Vitamin D from the sunlight.

[SnowedIn]

Nice! Yeah, not so much sun elsewhere.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Sometimes, not so much Sun in the window, either.

[msc545]

Aisle seat, exit row over the wing, starboard side

[SnowedIn]

A man with a plan. Well done!

[CubaPirate]

Anywhere not next to an obese overweight fatty

[SnowedIn]

Legit!

[Paris13]

Window Seat is Best from any Rest. xx

[SnowedIn]

Makes total sense. :)

[Paris13]

Exactly!!! xxoo

[jshm2]

Depends who I'm flying with

[SnowedIn]

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing!

[Msputiton]

I like the window.

Enjoy your trip

[SnowedIn]

Windows are good.

And, thanks! Work trip but there'll be good food! :)

[helva]

I prefer an aisle seat.

[SnowedIn]

That's usually where I am. I hate crawling over people.

[annabananna]

Close to the aisle in the middle of the plane.

[SnowedIn]

Very good choice and plan.

[TacosRAwesome]

Window seat usually

[SnowedIn]

Nice!

[joeldalton]

Window, as close to the front as posible.

[SnowedIn]

Good plan. Thanks for sharing!

[LiamJHayden]

Window seat near a wing.

[SnowedIn]

Ah, very specific. Other than exit row and the associated leg room, why near the wing?

[LiamJHayden]

Unless the fuselage breaks in half, it is overall the most survivable spot in a crash landing.

[SnowedIn]

Great point!

[Iron_Man]

On the on the aisle

[SnowedIn]

Yep!!!

[Iron_Man]

👍🏻

[Lee1515]

at the window

[SnowedIn]

Excellent choice! I used to do that when I'd fly to Germany.

[kenziemcmack]

the back so i’m not around as many people

[SnowedIn]

SO smart! :) Yes! I used to love sitting in the back but then I decided I want extra leg room so now I sit up in the extra leg room section.

[jjj101010]

Inside is best

[SnowedIn]

Very true and sound advice! :)

[Red_Arrow]

Inside.

[SnowedIn]

Excellent choice! lmao... :)

[TrueConfection]

Cockpit

[SnowedIn]

Awesome answer/choice. Seriously, are you a pilot?

[TrueConfection]

Thank you!

[TrueConfection]

My next choice would be first class, but I really am happy in any window seat as long as I don't have to share my 13 inch seat cushion with the person next to me or in front of me. 😬

[SnowedIn]

13 inches is about right...

[Likes2drive]

Window seat

[SnowedIn]

Well chosen!

[Likes2drive]

I like the view

[SnowedIn]

it is pretty breathtaking. Even flying over nothing. Just the fact that you're six, seven, or eight miles up.
