Domestic flights of a few hours or less I don't mind too much. For long haul flights I go for an aisle.

the downside of an aisle seat is that you have to constantly get up to let the other 2 people off which can get annoying after a while. I discovered that I would rather sleep in peace when I can and then I can bother/wake up the other people when I have to go anyway, who cares... it is what it is, so window wins

Window seat for every flight. I sleep better, have more room and enjoy a great view. I just make sure to hit the restroom before boarding.

I've only done domestic flights, and usually with a layover, so a 3hr flight is typical for me.

Window seat all the way. Usually with a 3hr flight, I do not need to get up. So I can get cozy, watch the scenery out the window and not have to get up for anyone. I even pick the side of the plane opposite of the sun so that I can leave my shade open without getting blasted by sunlight and annoying everyone in the cabin.

I've done a few 6 hr cross country flights and still gone window seat. usually I only need to get up once for these flights.

Not sure i'd like an aisle seat. Sure having easy access is nice, but I like to see what's going on outside the plane, especially if we are banking trying to line up for approach. I hate not knowing what is going on so I like to control the window.

Few times I've gotten lucky and had the ENTIRE row to myself.

sorry not sorry but I have zero patience for annoying jerks on planes. It's bad enough that your mere presence sickens me, now u have to use the bathroom every half hour?

Of course the individual would not have enough foresight to schedule himself an aisle seat...because u know... that would require him to do something...no, he'd rather drive you insane the whole flight.
Well.... he could have been having an issue worse than his bladder (if you know what I mean). Getting hit suddenly with "the trots" can happen to anybody at a bad time like this. It's something that we all don't think to take into consideration, although yes - constantly having people's butts pass your face as they go back and forth is understandably very annoying.

Aisle- I've spent too much time over the years on wee regional jets and turbo props where the window seat has less space than even a middle seat would.

I've been flying since 1987ish and I can honestly say I've never sat next to someone who irked me so much.

I did fly with another strange guy to London a few years before Amsterdam flight. He was one of those people who must have been anti-social and would not have enjoyed sitting next to anyone. He did everything in his power to dismiss my existence, and I was fine with that. He didn't say a word to me, just mumbled something when he had to use the toilet. Again, another moron who should be a candidate for an aisle seat as you would never have to inform someone you need to use the bathroom.

As a female who travels by myself a lot, I know when a guy is trying to be TOO friendly. I'm trying to fly to my destination in peace, not become someone's flight soul mate.
