A couple of weeks ago, I reviewed the Gate8 trifold cabin bag.
Benefit booklet
While this great bag is currently out of stock on their website, I’m happy to give this one away to a lucky commenter. In order to win this bag, leave an answer to this question in the comment sections: “When flying economy, do you prefer a window, middle, or aisle seat?”
I will randomly select one of the comments on June 6th. This contest is only open to US based participants as I’m not keen to ship this bag outside the US.
I would always try to get the aisle since it is easy to get in & out specially on long flight when we need to go to the rest room
Definitely the aisle.
Window seat for me! Easier to lean against…and who doesn’t like the view?
Gotta go aisle seat to stretch out the legs
Aisle for shorter flights, but for a domestic red-eye or international travel, definitely the window to lean against and sleep. Also, you don’t have people climbing over you to get up and aisle walkers who knock against the seat.
Window for me.
While flying economy I prefer to sit next to my husband. Even though he is 6’8″ (although he says he is shrinking) he LOVES to sit by the window because he likes looking out the window……really?? Unfortunately that puts me in the dreaded MIDDLE seat. I also make room for one of his size 16 feet to share my side of the floor too. With that said, I always inform the person sitting in front of him, that if they recline their seat, they may hear a blood curdling scream. Yes, I am truly the “good wife”!
I usually travel with my husband these days and he hates motion sickness if he can’t look out at the horizon. So, he gets window and I get the aisle.
I prefer an aisle seat as at 6’2″ I wish to get up and stretch when possible even so the traffic in the aisle can be annoying some times.
Window!!
Aisle for me.
Aisle any day.
Window for sure
Anything but middle seat!
Aisle. Even though you can get nudged/smacked by people walking by, it provides the most room. I tend to get a little claustrophobic in the middle or window seats.
Aisle…………..easier to deplane
aisle seat
Always the aisle.
Aisle seat!
window on flights < 2 hours, otherwise aisle on the longer flights
Aisle always!
Window mostly…
Aisle just to be able to get off the plane as quickly as possible if I’m flying solo.
If I’m flying with my wife, I usually take the middle and she’ll take the aisle since she likes to get up to go the restroom a lot.
Aisle….need all the legroom I can get.
Window – I tend not to get up much during flights, and I’d prefer not to sit in the aisle and get up each time the passengers in the window and middle seats would like to move around
Always aisle for me
Aisle
Aisle or window….I am not real picky.
Since I’m 6’4″, I always take the aisle since I need as much legroom as I can get!
aisle = leg stretch
Window seat !
Aisle for legroom and productivity, window for sleeping .
I prefer a window seat. I’m not interrupted as much and I can lean my head against the window to sleep.
Aisle seat for the legroom.
Aisle. I occasionally get leg cramps, and when I do, I need to leap to my feet immediately. Can only do that in the aisle set.
window for sure!!
window!
Aisle seat for sure!
Definitely window seat. I try to take care of “business” before getting on the plane, so that I can minimize the need of using the lavatory. 🙂
Aisle for several reasons, not the least of which is the EASY ability to stand and stretch a bit when the seatbelt sign is off.
The aisle for leg room
Always a window to see the world fly by….
Usually window because I like to look out and watch the take off and landing portions of the flight.
Aisle, I don’t like having to ask people to move when I want to get up.
Window and a pillow.
Window, definitely. Need to be able to rest my head when sleeping and also to look outside.
I prefer an aisle…I hate climbing over everyone to get up.
Aisle for sure because 1. If plane goes down I can get out faster 2. If I need to use the lavatory I don’t have to feel bad for waking someone up 3. Just like the aisle
Aisle. Always aisle.
Always window!
Aisle. I like to walk around.
Shorter duration flight, I prefer the window, anything longer than an hour or so, and I like the aisle.
Flying with my husband, he always wants the window!
Depends on the length of the flight, but I usually go for the window. Thanks for the contest!
I like to have the aisle seat, it’s earlier to get up for restroom
Aisle. Especially for longer flights. Easier to get up and move around.
Aisle so I can get up without bother everyone during the flight.
Aisle seat for me, I like not having to bother someone if I want to get up and stretch my legs.
The aisle so I can stretch my legs when I need to
I go window, I feel like I can be less out of people’s way and I don’t really use the bathroom as often as some.
I like the aisle seat so I can take wing pics and rest my head up against the plane
Window- makes a great head rest for naps and no one crawling over me – granted I do try to be nice and find a convenient time to get up when other people in my row are.
I prefer window. I’m a wannabe pilot from when I was 5.
Aisle for sure. Wife takes the window.
Night flight = window. Day flight = aisle
Usually the aisle but I will take a window closer to the front over an aisle in the far back, especially if I hope to sleep.
aisle for sure!! need to get up and stretch
Always the aisle so I can get up often.
Window. If I’m stuck in Y, I want the view.
I vastly prefer the window seat. I used to be terrified of flying but I’ve learned that if I can see what is going on I feel better about the movements of the plane. I also like not having to worry about people needing to get up and move past you after you’ve settled in.
I like the window: fewer people bothering me!
Being 6’4″, an aisle is a necessity!
The window seat. You aren’t bothered and you can use the side of the plane as a pillow!
Definitely window.
Daytime short flight = window. Longer than three hours = aisle. Planning to sleep = window.
Aisle for me.
window seat, some flights the arm rest lifts up, making even more room.
Aisle
It s the aisle seat for me Bathroom access is easier.
Red eye flights window seat, otherwise aisle seat ferrSHER!
Prefer the aisle seat in economy. Easier exit access & to the overhead bin.
Pick me please – my present bag needs to be replaced ?
I like the aisle seat so I don’t have to bother anyone when I go to the bathroom.
Aisle for longer than 1 hour, window if shorter flight.
I prefer a window seat so I can look out and not be interrupted as much
I prefer window so I control the window shade and don’t have to get up for someone to get through.
Always on the aisle. Easy access to the bathroom or overhead bin. Just have to be certain to mind my elbows of the cart.
I prefer an aisle seat when I fly economy….just that little bit more room to stretch the legs.
I definitely prefer the aisle seat when I am not traveling with others.
I prefer a window seat since I can lean on the wall of the plane or the window and try to sleep. I also control the windowshade that way! Some people still don’t get it that you are supposed to sleep or at least rest on the way to Europe from the USA!
Always the window – its easier to lean your head against it
