If you have never flown before, you may not know that you get to choose your seat. But, how do you know which seat to choose?
Some people like to have a window seat so that they can pass the time so that they have something they can look at during the flight. This is OK on domestic flights, but doesnt do any good on a long, overseas trip.
Staring out the window at the ocean for 10 hours can be extremely boring. The only good part of having a window seat on a very long flight is seeing the airport just before landing.
To me, aisle seats are better. You can stretch out a little bit, as long as the flight attendants dont keep bumping into you or stepping on your feet. You can argue that a window seat is better even if you dont look out the window, since you can lean against the wall to sleep. But I still prefer an aisle seat.
Keep in mind that I am not talking about an aisle seat in the middle section of the plane. This will mean that two people are inside your row and will spend most of the flight climbing over you to go to the bathroom.
Even if your travel agent or the airline ticketing agent has assigned your seat, you can still change...
