I saw a link on Upgrade: Travel Better<\/a> to a travel survey<\/a> that attempts to understand the differences between those who sit in the window and those who sit in the aisle. \u00a0I’m firmly in the window camp — in fact, I vastly prefer the starboard window to the port window. \u00a0This is a result of an old injury to my right shoulder, sitting in the starboard window seat means that no-one can accidentally bang my shoulder.<\/p>\n

Aside from protecting my bionic shoulder, I like the window because I like looking out the window (especially on evening flights returning home from Redmond — I love watching the sun set from the plane.) \u00a0The window seat is easier to nap in because I can lean on the window. \u00a0When I get aisle seats, I’m forever getting whacked in the head by someone who isn’t paying attention with their bag or their coat. \u00a0I’m even writing this blog post from seat 16F on Virgin America<\/a> using their in-flight wifi.<\/p>\n

For the most part, I match the aisle dweller much better than the window dweller:<\/p>\n
