Aisle or Window?

I'm just curious. Please reply in comments.

When you fly alone, and you don't have enough people with you to get a row of three, do you request an aisle seat or a window one?

It's like "age before beauty." The aisle is for health, and the older we are the more we need wc access. And the window is beauty.

I found a solution, but first tell me your choice.

long flight aisle, shorter flight (like less than four hours) window especially if it's day time and there'll be stuff to see on the way.

Aisle only, no matter how long the flight. I must have freedom!

Mrs. S. said...

Window - definitely.

JJ said...

What Baila said! :-)

I'd choose another flight before I'd sit by the window, I can't stand being closed in, especially by strangers!

Thanks for all the comments!
Emah S, I paid my dues when I "walked across the Atlantic" with a crying toddler in my arms. I'll never forget the thrill of my first trip "alone" after all those with the kids, and in those days the planes couldn't fly between Israel and JFK (New York) sans/without a stop over, and of course it would be just when the kids fell asleep.

The majority of you voted aisle, and that's what I request, too! Even though I look so longingly at the window...

I'm with Emah S -- what the heck is that term you used, "When flying alone....?!?"

For us it's window, middle, aisle, aisle, middle.

Or some variation thereof.

Thank G-d for those personal video screens. They have the power to turn a trip back to the Old Country from "hellish" to "bearable."

aln, thanks for reminding me. It was never an issue when we filled rows. But in our days there were just large screens, and we all watched the same movie, if I remember correctly.
