Prefer aisle seat, you can stretch a leg out until it's mangled by a silently and fast moving beverage cart. And, you have to be willing to get whacked by every asshole swinging a bag as they board the plane and walk by.
Getting hit by swinging backpacks and getting butt-swiped are annoying AF.

I won't fly anymore but the worst flight ever was next to a guy that had never flown before. I was on my way to a funeral and I do not eat the airplane food. So this goon talks the entire flight or tried to, I put a pillow on my head to block him, was not using it for comfort at all, just a barrier. Food came, I ate a cracker, he bugged me about how good the food was. Slowly he consumed my tray by "Hey, are you going to eat that?" one item at a time.
I ordered a glass of wine turned my back on him and kind of dozed off. When I reach for my glass, he says "oh thought you were asleep, gave it to the stewardess".
Twas a while ago when they were still called stewardesses and wore short skirts. Always wondered if it was pantyhose or garters and stockings...

I usually get window because the wife wants easy access to the head.
Speaking of Stewardesses, I was returning from the east coast after a trip to celebrate graduating from kollej, and had a layover in Dallas. The world's fair was in New Orleans, and as I boarded the plane (DC10 as I recall), there was no one around me for about 10 rows. They then boarded a LARGE group of people and children, none of whom spoke English (think they were Cambodian). I motion to the Stew to ask about a new seat...full plane. I had only a "bank card", no credit, no cash (at the time, I think they were still cash only). She said "Don't worry, I will take care of you"...about 10-15 gin and tonics later, I arrived in Seattle. All I had to do was make eye contact, and she was comin' with the G&T.
Saw Ron Jeremy at LAX once a long time ago, women were posing for pictures with him. He's in the news lately, poor sod. Also saw Little Richard. He's dead now, not a fault of mine.
Did a lot of time in that crappy airport, probably saw other "famous" people, didn't know or care but those two stand out

Sat next to Ray Liotta waiting for a flight at Burbank airport. He looked and smelled every bit like your average downtown Seattle hobo, except he got up to use the restroom instead of wizzing on himself.
Aisle mostly for the leg room. I also tend to lean into the butt / crotch passes so I book the aisle next to the bathroom where it is guaranteed to happen more often.

In the mid 80s Mid Pacific airline tried to promote a first class (prop) experience. They gave a six inch sub and a beverage and called it a meal. Got to know the fight attendants and usually was able to down 3-4 beers on a one hour flight. Think they only lasted a year or two.

we are fully in the offseason and its not even feburary.
july/august are gonna be a bitch.
My wife and I got married because we had no destinations left in N. America and I could not travel (free) to Asia as a travel buddy.
Honeymoon flight to Hong Kong with my wife. Sitting in first because she is an employee but there were no seats together.
My row mate offered to trade places with her so we could sit together.
I begged him not to do that as we really don't travel well together.
Celebrating our 28th anniversary next month.
First and right, again.

Other than that, nice guy.
I am a geography and plane geek. I want to look out.
