The first time I travelled on a plane I was seated on an aisle seat which is quite comfortable for me except one time that I was awaken in my sleep because my shoulder was dodged by a passenger from behind who was going to the washroom and he has a very bulky body and my shoulder really hurts. But I know that it was not of his intention and he even said sorry.
And when I went home the other year I travelled through Cathay Pacific. This time I was seated in a middle row and in a middle seat. It was very comfortable for me because I was able to sleep so well because my seatmates can go to the washroom without disturbing me. But the disadvantage was when I would be the one who needs to go to the washroom because I have to ask excuses and have to squeezed myself out to the aisle and some seatmates are not that understanding to be disturbed.
Lastly, when I was travelling on my way back here, I got the chance to seat by the window. And yes I did enjoy my 8 hour trip because of the terrific scenery that I have seen. The beautiful clouds, the blue oceans, the green fields, the night lights and the towering skyscrapers where just part of the many beautiful things that I was able to see while I was seated there. It made me forgot the hassles of excusing myself in going to the washroom. It was indeed a wonderful trip.
So, from that day on I have decided that whenever I will have to travel via a plane I would now specify my preferred seat which is the window seat.
Well, in your end, which seat do you prefer when travelling by plane? Is it the window seat, the aisle seat or the middle seat?

Hi,shello.I would like to take the window seat when I am in a bus or train.I once heard it has a significance in the field of paychology.It means I want more communication with others.I am not sure about it.As to me,when I sit on the window seat,I always open the window at the same time even in winter.I do enjoy the feeling when the wind blowing on my face.

I am not very good at flying so I prefer the centre seat with my eldest daughter taking the window seat and my husband sitting in the aisle so he can get things for me from my hand luggage. I'm not sure how it will work out next time though because my daughter is now two and will be required to have her own seat.

Oh I forgot to mention that I always do have problem in reaching the overhead compartment for the hand luggage. I am a short fellow and I would always try to ask help from someone to have my luggage down. LOL! Anyway, it's nice to travel with someone specially with your family. At least you have someone to talk with. Good luck to your next flight. I know that it will work so well with your daughter next to you.
