Have you ever sat by a window when on a flight?
I have many times and whenever I have the opportunity to choose, I always chose the window seat!
Some have identified advantages, as well as disadvantages of sitting by a window and I, like to share my personal experiences.
First, the advantages; the most important advantage for me is having unrestrained access to the skyline. You could see the wings of the plane if you sit close to the middle of the plane. That view of the skyline is simply breathtaking and I cannot imagine what is better than it when flying.
Secondly, if you sit by the emergency exit, you have a better chance of safety in the event of a quick evacuation.
Thirdly, You do not get bumped into by those staggering through the aisle. If you do not want to hear “sorry” or “excuse me” all the time, stay by the window.
Now the disadvantages: sitting by the window might deprive you of food and snacks. If you have an unfriendly neighbor, it might be difficult to get drinks and snacks on time.
Also, if your neighbor is uncooperative, you might have issues when there is a need to use the restroom.
All the same, I think it’s best to sit by the window. What do you think?
