    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.

    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.

    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.

    I used to be an aisle guy but if it's more than an hour and a half I like the window so that assholes don't wake me up

    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

    Ron Jeremy and Little Richard. @SwisherSweetboy's Mount Rushmore of airport sightings.

    All this middle seat hot talk makes me realize what a bunch of peasants I hang out with. First class, which is all I fly, it doesn't matter which seat, just bring me my Bailey's rocks. Can't imagine flying with the all the cattle in the back. These are the perks of working at Orkin when we have the United contract. We're hiring!

    Imagine using United First Class as a flex when your airport is served by Lufthansa’s First and Emirates’ A380 First.

    Nothing like luxury in the Dulles C&D gates!

    Window for me. Every now and then gotta check and see what the fuck is going on out there. Easiest for sleeping too.

    I’m disappointed I didn’t get to this first.

    I used to be a window seat guy. Having the wall of the plane was nice to lean on and away from the middle seat.

    I’m now 100% aisle seat and even walked away right before boarding when Alaska had to switch out the plane to a different configuration and they put me in a middle seat without my knowledge.

    I hope you gave them a "do you know who I am" on the way out

    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...

    Pretty sure it was either a "Thanks Taft!" or "Huh?"

    I read an article awhile ago where there was a passenger on Korean Air that needed to be subdued and Richard Marx helped do so. Marx complained on social media about it and the president of Korean Air offered him a public apology.
