• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

If it is a long flight and i KNOW I am not drinkinng (which is very rare) I will grab the window so i can sleep. However, 9 out off 10 times my flights are 2 hours or less and I am pounding alcohol so I simply prefer an aisle seat in the first 10 rows. I am old and "get off my lawn guy" so I want things to be easy as possible
 
pretty much always the aisle. Much prefer the leg room and I can get up and walk on a longer flight if I want to stretch my legs out.

Only time the I may choose otherwise is if it's a very empty flight and I get my own row, or if I sit in the exit row with tons of extra leg room.
 
I haven't flown enough yet to have the novelty of looking out the window wear off, so unless visibility is hot garbage I will vie for the window seat. I also make sure I look as gross as possible to dissuade people from sitting next to me on SW flights.
 
Always a window seat in the back of the plane. The rear of the plane usually survives much better. It's also where they put the black box - best place to survive a crash. You also would not be accordioned by everyone behind you crashing into you.

Did work in aviation sector out of school. Highest probability of surviving a crash is at the tail.
 
First Class, first row, aisle… I always board late so the mouth breathers don’t bump me with their bags and I’m first off.
