I always prefer to have window seat so that I can view the nature outside. My husband prefers aisle seat especially during long journeys because he hates to get up for the people who occupy window and middle seat whenever they want to go out. Which seat do you prefer? Why?

I generally prefer the window seat because it gives me something solid to lean into when I want to go to sleep Now if there is a pretty girl sitting next to me I might give her the window seat

Lol. That is an interesting reply. I think most of the guys do that when a beautiful girl sits next. You might like the girl cross you when she wants to go to rest room or something if it is a long journey. I liked your response.Thanks for it.

I am just wondering aloud. Is it because, you can then lean on the "solid" girl. ;) heehee. Jus kidding. Window seats are more preferable because you have some privacy there. The cabib crew keeps on moving here and there and you will get disturbed if you are sitting on the aisle seat. :)

i'm the same as u, prefer the window seat. cause i can view the scenes outside on the way. and another reason, i neednt stand up or to be disturbed by the inside one when he/she wants to go out if on the long journey.

Yeah, you are right. Even I prefer to keep to myself and dont like to be disturbed on a long journey. If I have to get up (which I normally don't do) I would complete everything and go off to sleep. :)

I always prefer to have an aisle seat because I have long legs and the aisle seat gives me a little bit more legroom because I can stick them out into the aisle. It's a lot better as well if I need to go to the toilet as I don't need to ask anyone to move so that I can get out. So whenever I fly I always ensure that I get an aisle seat. That makes me a a happy traveller

I think both of us very different. I always prefer a windown seat when I fly. I would like to see the things happening out even though I won't be able to see outside for a long time. I love watching outside when the plane is landing. So, my poor husband sometimes forced to sit in the middle seat next to me even though he prefers aisle seat. Thanks for the response.

I am also a nature lover, more than that I love watching people. So, I always prefer window seat, especially if it is a long travel because I won't get bored. I used to have a small fights in my family for window seat whenever I travel with family. My sister and brother always want window seat. Thanks for the response.

I too prefer the window seat only whether it is a bus or a train, I love to enjoy the natural scenes and love to get the fresh air. I often keep changing places with my children when they sit near the window.

It seems you are also like me and your children are so nice that they are ready to give the window seat to you. In my case, always there will be a fight for window seat if I am travelling with my family. My brother and sister always want to be in window seat. So, my parents always leave it for me. If I fight with my bro and sis for window seat my mother will ask me to give it to my brother because he is the youngest in the family. Thanks for the response.

Definitely the window seat. I hate being packed in with so many people anyway, and the window gives me a little more security. I also prefer the emergency exit row for more legroom.

I prefer the window seat. Whether on a plane or on a train, I love staring out the window and watching the view just pass by. Its great your husband perfer the aisle seat, that way you two don't have to fight over it =)

I always prefer the window seat in planes because I get to watch whats outside and I like taking pictures of the views from the top. I have only travel so far an hour by plane so I don't really use the lavatory so I don't get in the way of the other passenger. In buses, I prefer the window too but lately if I do take the bus with my cousin nshe likes the window seat and I give in because she suffers from travel sickness if she can't feel the fresh air.

I like the window seat, it gives you a good view of whats happening outside. Its a good refresher looking through the window especially on long journeys. When flying I always make it a point to choose a window seat in advance, asile seats make everything look dull. Windows seats can be a bit uncomfortable though, especially if you have long legs. The asile seat comes handy to stretch your legs.

I prefer the window seat so I don't have to get up when others need to use the rest room. I always take care of business before I get on the flight and I drink usually one cup of tea. I remember twice where I had to get up and use the rest room the first time was due to a delay in landing because of bad weather. I was with my sister and brother so I didn't have to bother a stranger. The second time I had the three seats to myself. That was the best flight ever. The isle seat is the worst seat to me because people are always bumping into you.

I prefer the window seat, even if it going to be a long journey because i don't visit the loo or get out of my seat till i get to the destination. I like window seat because it is fun to watch the scene outside; admiring the atmosphere, aura of the earth and the ozone. I don't like being seated in the middle seat because i can neither get out nor view the scene outside. My mom prefers the aisle seat because she visits the loo frequently and is also a little scared of heights :)

If you mean the seat in the planes.I would not sit beside the window because i fear the height very much.If the buses i would like to sit near the window to take the photoes and see the views.

When I was newbie , I mean when I was first few times on board, I like to choose window seat. But when I get to travel more often , then I like to have aisle seat, it is more easy for me to get to go out. I hate to sit in the middle.

Hi! I always love the window seat. Mostly because I can see outside, the scenery etc. I can even get a comfortable sitting position if the vehicle is cramped with people. Those who sit near the window are generally ones who get to lean back. And also in a plane (as I wrote somewhere else) the cabin crew would keep disturbing you if you are seated in the aisle seat. You can't help it if the seats are in the middle.
