Travel debate: Window vs. aisle airplane seat - CNN
Stray elbows and inadvertent arm grazing are facts of life for any airline passenger flying coach class. But seat selection can mitigate a host of other airline indignities -- and add some enjoyment and excitement to the flying experience.
Disturbing sleeping strangers is a daunting prospect
Don't get me wrong, I like a scenic aerial view from an airplane window as much as the next person. But I like being able to get up to use the bathroom or stretch my legs on a flight whenever I choose far more, especially if it's a long-haul trip.
I can't tell you how many times I've been trapped in a window seat, desperately needing to get up while the aisle passenger is fast asleep on the other side.
