When I first started flying, I always grabbed a window seat. But...after then having to travel for work on almost a weekly basis for 3+ years, I decided the aisle seat was better for me as I had full control of things if I needed a bathroom break, just a walk around or something from my carry on.

I'm a disabled Vietnam Veteran who fly's back home to the USA to visit from Sydney (14 hours) ... so after 50 years of flying from my Army (I was a paratrooper so getting off was quick on those flights🤣) and DOD around the States and the odd NATO country.. So I just sit and wait for plane to pretty much clear before getting off... also if I get right off, I'm still waiting for my luggage to appear on the baggage carousel....

@turdferguson3475 2 года назад
I sit as far back as possible to have easier access to a bathroom. Also, we frequently fly Southwest, which has open seating, and being far back increases the chance that the third seat in our row will go unoccupied. As for getting off the plane earlier, who cares, we all wind up at the baggage carousel together anyway.

Always an aisle person. Also love the 1st row of seats behind 1st on Alaska. They don’t have bulkhead wall so plenty of room for legs but they do have trays in arm rest, making arm rests solid. No strangers thigh against you!

I'm a frequent bathroom user, so the aisle seat is definitely my choice. If you have a motion sickness problem, DON'T sit all the way at the back. Also, some airlines run out of food choices by the time they get to you, for example, chicken or beef...?😁 Thanks for the tip on Seat Guru! Never knew it exists

@MartinHarvey
@MartinHarvey 2 года назад
Good job thanks. A couple of extra points and mainly pertaining to longer than short flights. 1) If you pick a window seat, I don't, and it's daytime outside the attendant will ask you to "darken" it so pax can watch the screens. 2) Especially on larger aircraft, space under the seat ahead of you is used for the entertainment centre electronics box and I have no accurate idea how this can be avoided. BTW rear sets don't experience less turbulence however, the plane rotates around the wing and centre of gravity thereby accentuating the angular movement at the rear.

I do have one friend that prefers a middle seat because she isn't a fan of flying. She didn't want to be near the window because she didn't want to look out and see how high up she was and she feared sitting on the aisle would make her feel exposed and anxious. I sat on the aisle, she sat in the middle and it acted for her in the way a weighted blanket can for those with anxiety or other sleep related problems can. She felt a bit more protected and enclosed so she didn't think so much about her various fears of flying. She's still very much fearful of flying (white knuckled the arm rest and my hand during takeoff and landing) but she was able to reload a little during the flight. That's the only time I've ever had someone prefer the middle seat.

Two other considerations that you missed that I think are worth mentioning. 1) Some planes have no windows in a row (for example row 24) because this is where the AC ducts come up to feed the overhead vents. This is another reason to check the seat rating web site for your specific plane. 2) I like window seats for the view and head rest. Think about where the sun will be during your flight so you don't have the heat of or have to look at the sun (don't forget it is always a sunny day above the clouds). So for example on a SB flight in the morning, WB flight mid day or a NB flight in the evening, I like the right side of the plane. As a bonus when flying on SW where I pick any open seat when I board I will check the wind direction at the airports. For example at my home airport of IND, if the wind is coming from the SW, I'll sit on the left side of the plane to get a view of downtown Indy on the glidepath in. (Yes I have been accused by friends of over thinking things)

On steamships going from England to India the word "posh" (which in England came to mean fancy)was invented. P port O outbound S starboard H homebound, so I don't think you are overthinking at all. They chose those cabins on the boat to avoid the sweltering sun in the days before air conditioning. :)

For me being able to get up and move around is critical for long flights so I always choose the aisle. I’ve even changed the days I fly in order to get an aisle seat but I have a flexible schedule. I also try to be near the front because I often have a connecting flight and want the extra time. Even if I don’t it’s annoying having to wait to get off the plane.
@philipmullins5185

I always prefer the aisle seat because if it is a very long flight sitting next to the window can have disadvantages if the passenger in the row go to sleep and you have to wake them up to go to the toilet and if you have any digestive issues on board , using the toilet multi times during the flight can be a real problem getting past other passengers if sitting in the inner location next to the widow , also the aisle is closest to the crew and looking at menus , getting served or asking questions is made easier and access to your bags is much easier . The front of the plane is far better because usually you are off the plane much quicker when it lands if the rear stairs are not being used and this means getting to the border control area quicker and out of the airport quicker without standing in queues for longer times . The worst seats on the plane are those next to the toilets where people are coming and going all the time and those seats right at the back of the plane against the wall which don't go back fully . It is not wise to be the last passenger aboard the airline because sometimes the overhead lockers are fully loaded and they can take your luggage to put under the plane where the risk of it being lost is possible .

I flew to London on a 787 in the very back row. It had a closet behind it, not a bathroom, and the seats did recline. It was a great seat because I could recline without being in someone else's space, and because the bathroom wasn't there the traffic was low. I did check seatguru before i booked. The big negative to this seat was that because the airplane is composite and more flexible a little turbulence made the tail wag side to side the whole flight. My head was going left right left right the whole way. The way back was smooth so that ride was good.

On many, if not most, planes these days, the aisle seats have less space under the seat for your feet or personal item. As to bulkhead seats, you also have to be aware of whether that particular bulkhead has the crib attachment. On many airlines, those are located on the center bulkhead and starboard side bulkhead in each economy cabin. Two other big considerations about which side of the plane to choose: 1) if one side would have a particularly great view upon takeoff or landing - or even while flying (like over the Grand Canyon), and/or 2) if you want to remain comfortable temperature-wise during the flight and/or to be able to sleep regardless of what other people near you do with their window shades, you want to avoid the side which would be sunward during the flight.

mentioned all the thing's i've learned to do myself. I always take window so i don't need to get up for others. I also find planes very hot so i wear very lightweight clothing and my vent is always blasting. I'll pay extra for a seat near the entrance if i have a short connection, but generally i'll pay more just to avoid an intinerary with close connections in the first place. 2.5hrs is my comfortable layover length.
@bearpawsheffalump2655
@bearpawsheffalump2655 2 года назад
Another thing to consider about aisle seats: your arm and shoulder often get bumped by passengers walking by, and by the drink/food carts. And if you sit towards the back of the plane you'll end up getting your drink and food served last; you'll have to wait a long time for a beverage or snacks/food.

Great video Megan! As a longtime airline industry employee I have never lost the love of flying and prefer the window seat. I’ve never understood why some people get on and automatically close the shade. I will say that exit rows were never a problem for me but 757’s have that mid-cabin door in economy (Y). I sat next to that door as a nonrev and it was COLD! I was able to move about half way into the flight as the airplane was only about half full on a domestic flight from LGA. I had a similar seat at the rear of a much newer A321 and had no problems at all. The legroom was wonderful!

On anything wider than a 767 or Airbus A300/310/330/340, my favorite economy seats are the last 2-3 rows where seating goes from 9 or 10 abreast to 7 or 8 abreast. In the case of the 747, the last 3 rows are in a 2-4-2 configuration and window seat occupants have a little extra stretch room between the seats & windows.

I used to fly a lot when in the military. I must say, I never thought that I'd become a "window guy", but I like it because it grants me nice views. In my earlier flying days, I was flying out of Richmond International, then called Byrd Airport, and I had an aisle seat. We hit severe turbulence, and it caused the cockpit doors to open and we all could see the pilots literally wrestling with the controls to maintain flight of the aircraft. Not something I wanted to see. Now military flight (MAC), I've flown on the C-5 Galaxy (cargo) which has "no windows" for passengers. We rode in a capsule and the seating was arranged backwards (safety reasons). You got earplugs, a box lunch, and a blanket. I loved it! Try that for 9 1/2 hours. For $40 round trip (then)...not bad at all!

Always a window seat, and the one on the extreme left as you're walking down the aisle. I have piriformis syndrome, so sitting for long stretches of time is painful. I get some relief by leaning against the window. I will pay extra to choose my seat when I book my flight.

One thing you didn't mention which may not be of concern to a seasoned traveller like you but would mean a lot to most people who are travelling for pleasure and like to take photos, vlog, make insta stories etc. Depending on where you are going a window seat will give you great opportunities for taking some post-able videos and photos. If you are going to Paris, just before landing you get nice views, in Norway, I found that both take-offs and and landings from Oslo and Bergen provided me with some lovely shots and even in the middle of the journey there were some mountains that were much appreciated by my friends when they saw the video taken on my phone. So, consider your destination and the time of day when you would take off or land there.

Thanks for your flight tips. I'll keep them in mind the next time I fly. I prefer window seats on short flights and aisle seats on longer flights. You're correct about the seats that don't recline. I had the unfortunate experience of booking a flight to find my seat didn't recline. It wasn't in the back of the plane or at the exit. The seat was just broken. That flight was totally uncomfortable.

Several years ago, I attended a conference in Miami with some coworkers. On the return trip, I was the only one not upgraded to first class.

I had 2 flights this weekend. I am a nervous flyer and haven’t flown for years, so my husband chose seats near the wing, (nice and stable) but not at the exit (too much opportunity to dwell on an emergency and freak out) and a middle seat (could lean over him and look out if I wanted to, but didn’t have to face the height if I felt wobbly) and being wedged between two people was oddly comforting. BUT we didn’t know the seats didn’t recline, and far worse for me there were no air conditioning nozzles so I was absolutely roasting and miserably hot! At least I know for next time! 😊✈️

I prefer an aisle seat now, have issues with my knees. I like to stretch so I have it easy to move around without bothering anyone else to get up. My very first flight was an 17 1/2 hours of flying time with 1 stop to refuel and sat in the aisle of the middle section of seats. I have sat in all area of the plane from 1st class to back of plane. I like to get off the plane as quickly as possible since I am usually hot on the plane. Since most of the time I am located in the middle to rear of the plane, the aisle seat lets me stand when we are at the gate.

I haven't flown much and the flights I've taken so far haven't been longer than 3-5 hours. I've had aisle seats before and I will avoid them at all costs! I had 2 aisle seats on my last trip and it was the worst! Everybody and their grandmother decided to walk up and down the aisles bumping on me, and even the flight attendants hit my elbow with their cart twice. It was awful, no matter how small I tried to make myself in those seats. I prefer the window seats. I get a view, a place to rest my head, and best of all no disturbances. In short flights I don't have to get up to the restroom and I don't have to put up with being hurt by the traffic from the aisle seat.

I always like seating at the window seat because I always like to look out and take pictures or videos. As for which side of the plane I'll be seating it depends which direction the plane is flying. If it's flying east to west, then I'll sit on the right side. West to east, I'll sit on the left side. It's more of avoiding where the sun is when flying during middle of the day. I didn't mind at first but sometimes I get a little heated up when the sun is hitting me. It gets uncomfortable for a while. I wished there are more planes that has only 2 seats on the side instead of 3. It's hard to find those anymore.

I always try for a aisle seat because of the convenience. I rarely sleep on overseas flights, as I use the time there to start adjusting to the time zone of my destination. Also, there is a little more headroom, especially on the narrow-body planes. I usually try for a seat closer to the front, especially if I have to make a connecting flight, and at time of booking and seat selection, I won't know whether or not there will be any delays. If I have to go with a window seat, I try for one on the opposite side of the plane from the sun, based on the direction of my travel. I don't have a problem with exit rows, but do try to avoid bulkhead rows, if the only available seats are in the middle of the plane, as some people still assume that extra leg room is a crossover for them.

Good information but frequent fliers learn these pretty quickly. I am right handed and don’t work on a computer during the flight. Not big issue but I choose a right hand aisle seat because I don’t want someone walking by hitting my arm while I eat or drink.

I have been devouring your vids. My last flight from IND to MAN I selected all port side window seats 4 months early for all 46 hrs of the flights to & from. Delta blessed me with all middle seats for a reason never given. It was my rule I was taking both armrests. They did put me in the middle of an older couple for a 16 hr leg so that was an ez swap. I still get a little fired up thinking about it.

I am a lefty and have sat on both sides of the plane, right side was the worst for me since a few times I have had trouble eating anything. I love the window seat so i can see out and see out of the plane. Right now I am planning my first overseas trip and don't know where to sit

YES INDEED. 14.5 hour flight from LAX back home & we asked for the exit row seats & were with the toilets. No big deal - except it becomes a place for people to chat at 0200. After a delayed take off we had a few screaming kids to entertain us all the way. I invested in Ear Plugs for the next flights then went Business Class Only. Domestic I prefer an aisle seat only - even in Business Class.

I always prefer a window seat so I can look out at the scenery. And, as some others have mentioned, try to pick the side with the best potential views. Also, I try to time my potty breaks with the person in the aisle, so as to disturb them as little as possible when I need to go.

I always pick the window seat the left side of the plane coming out of San Diego, we can look at the city as you take off. Short fight between San Diego and Houston and was like a sitting left side of plane comes in the same evil looking at Coronado Bridge.

Since most of my flights are during the day, I will also figure out where the sun will be in the sky compared to the direction of the plane for the majority if it's flight. That way I don't have to keep my window shade down because the sun is shining directly in.

My husband and I both prefer Aisle people when we fly coach. We choose seats across the aisle from one another to accommodate this. If we are flying First Class, then he will take the window and I still like the aisle, but since the seats are just 2 in a row, no one has to be stuck in the middle.

In terms of which side of the plan to pick I always take into consideration where the sun will be. I like having the window shade up and if I'm on the more shaded side of the plane you get less glare.

I always book 3 months earlier and i always pick the premiere seating bulkhead row usually about $100 per ticket more but for a 14 hour flight its definitely worth it. I like the isle seat and my wife loves the window seat. We never had any problems stowing our bags under our seat or above.

I always choose aisles to be able to stretch my legs, and always on the side away from the sun. In case the window passenger has the shade open, there is less chance of sun on my face if I want to snooze.

The back of the airplane is safest. Ex-Boeing employee here. I worked on both the 747 and 777 programs. The cockpit voice recorder and the flight data recorder are both in the back of the plane. The 747's black boxes are in the crew rest in the back of the plane. The 777 has the black boxes are in the ceiling above the back left door. Because of their position in the back of the plane they are statistically more likely to survive a crash.

Megan, what about planes that have a 2-4-2 configuration in economy? What's your recommendation for those middle section seats?

I've got well over 5 million miles and just found you today! Great channel. One consideration: Including time-stamps statistically hurts your viewing time. Consider discontinuing them. (Saw that on Sean Cannell's Think Media channel.)

I prefer the window and almost always bring a light jacket which helps with any coolness there and when traveling internationally I like to sit near the front so I am one of the first into Customs. When I don't care and not in a hurry, I sit in the back as I also know that the back is the spot where if anyone survives they will be sitting there. I still prefer the window there as well. I rarely use the recline function but that is me. Seat guru is good. I also look for any rows with no one in the middle seat when I check in. You would be surprised how often that works out for me. It is different when I travel alone vice with my wife.

Another good tip is to check what air craft is being used for the flight. Some A/C have the 2-3-2 configuration in economy like the B767 and I always try to get a pair for the 2 of us if the flight is more than 3 hours.

I’m quite tall and thought the aisle seats would be better because I could stretch my legs… buuuut then the flight attendants almost always knock their trolleys against my knee when I fall asleep😅 My knees always touch the front seat in regular economy seats, so I’m very grateful for premium economy!🙌🏻 Window seat all the way🤣✨
