The next time you book a flight, you might want to consider reserving a window seat for yourself. Even though the aisle seats provide you with more independence, whenever a visit to the restroom is needed, the window seat might provide you with really magnificent views and memories you will never forget. Furthermore, the person seated at the aisle has to get up anyway each time you want to visit the bathroom.
However, traveling 30,000 to 40,000 feet or 10.000 to 13.000 meters above the ground will certainly show you a whole new perspective of our planet earth. From beautiful cities, great lakes to astonishing vulcanos, there is a lot to discover from the air.
Taking the standard commercial airliners into account, it is evident that window seats are actually limited on airplanes. Moreover, they have been always popular as a CNN article outlines: “At Expedia, 21% of customers over the past year picked window seats, 20% chose the aisle, and the rest had no preference. A United Airlines satisfaction survey for Airbus A320 passengers showed slightly higher preference for windows over aisles.”
