Window or aisle?

[Harpoon]

aisle

near the door, that way you can get on last and off first...

On long flights I also like to hit the washroom before landing to brush my teeth and wash my face, makes the world of difference if you have been sitting on a plane for hours on end.

Never had a kid puke on me, touching wood... NOT THAT wood

Of course business or first class is better by far, but unless the company is paying or you are travelling on points....

Funny you should mention that Harpoon. The ticket I bought was $860.00, round trip, coach of course. That same flight, traveling by business class is $7,000.00. How crazy is that?

Window, every time. I love flying, the rush of taking off, the wonder of being with the clouds and the terror of seeing the groud rush towards me I love it!

If you had had to book last minute in coach the difference between that and business, would be surprisingly small ( 5 to 10% of the ticket price) I would wager... and well worth the expense! A lot of people don't realize this

If I had $7,000.00 to blow, it wouldn't be for a bigger seat and better service on a plane. I don't need much room, and I plan on taking my own food. As long as I have a pillow, some Ativan, and music to listen to, I'm good to go.

Lord, please don't let anyone throw up on me! I deal with that enough at work. Thank you..

 

[Harpoon]

your own food?

A nice big helping of grits?

I wouldn't spend the $7000 either, but if someone else was paying for the seat, I would be willing to pay for the upgrade and it never hurts to ask if, you are flying full fare, to be bumped anyway, since you have paid far more than the majority of the people flying in steerage. If the plane is almost full they just might do it for free

Grits on a plane? Don't be silly, how inconvenient is that?? Now Chitlins, on the other hand, make for good flying food..

 

[Harpoon]

chitlins?

I never thought of the convenience, and I have never had either grits or chitlins on any flights I have been on, as starnge as that sounds. They must just serve them on the southern filghts

Heh, yup. And the best part is, at the end of your trip, as you are leaving, they say "Y'all come back now, ya heah"..

That in itself would be worth the price of the flight.... maybe you should send me a schedule.

Which do you prefer when flying? Does it matter how long the flight?

Do you like to snag the exit row? Much roomier.

Have you ever had a kid puke on you?

Window. I love looking out and I like having something to lean my head against when I sleep.

Row doesn't matter except I hate near an engine or wing. (noise or I can't see out).

No.

If your flying in Europe there's real cheapies with http://www.ryanair.com/ - even free seats sometimes - yes true, I've had them. No catches. But no on flight Emanuelle trips, planes are usually full - with families but reliable and, in Europe nowhere is to far. You just get on like on buses and pick your seat -
Never had sex on an airplane, just on buses and, nearly my first time, in a rowing boat.

 

[Rubyfruit]

Window or Aisle?

As long as it's first class, I don't care.

 

[tigerjen]

Window seat!

The best place to be....esp. when no one else is
sitting next to you.......

 

[sigh]

i prefer the window because i just love the view of cloudtops...it's an alien place where we don't belong and yet it feels so good to be there

my son generally asks for the window though (i suspect for the same reason) and i shamelessly indulge him in most things of this nature

and yes, ruby...first class is the only way...again because of my son and the many things he simply can't tolerate, first class is the only way i CAN go

One of these days I'll try Ryanair and the others. Unfortunately, they only fly in Europe. No help for me.

It's always good to see more Europeans here at Lit.

I am terrified of flying but it has to be the window, because I like to see the world that clean and pure...

Aisle is a must. I don't like being blocked in plus my legs are so long, there's not room in the window seat if I'm in Coach Class.

No, I try to avoid the exit row even though it is roomier.

No, never had the privelege of a kid puking on me (gross thought). Have had coffee spilled on me though.

Now if it is a long flight, I really like to get a rear row, hopefully with no one in the adjacent seats. Makes a great way to stretch out. Plus, if I'm with someone, we can cover up with blankets and cuddle for hours.

I LOVE flying.....and takeoff is a rush to me. For some reason, Bruce Springsteen's "Stand On It" always goes through my head when I hear the engines whine and the plane picks up speed.

I HAVE to have a lot of leg room, though....if I'm cramped, I get cranky - so I usually (if I have a choice) sit either bulkhead or emergency aisle. And once, when I flew right after I had knee surgery, a lovely flight attendant who had had the same surgery (and spoke with me before the flight) came up to me after takeoff and said "I'm sorry sir...there was a mixup with your reservation...you're supposed to be in first class." She then escorted me into the almost empty first class section, where I stretched out and enjoyed many complimentary beverages....

I don't do enough traveling....SIGH.....
