replying to @united @united A10 I’ll take an aisle seat near the front of the plane for a short hop where it’s important to get on and get off quickly #TravelSkills

replying to @united @united TIP If in bulkhead or exit row in coach, take your carry-on bag down from the bin after takeoff, put a blanket on it, and use as a footrest #TravelSkills

A10 If it's a row of 3 or in the middle, Dave takes the Aisle I take the middle so we don't have to crawl over anyone. #TravelSkills

A10: Aisle always and forever. I get up too often to make a window seat a realistic option, although I do love the views #TravelSkills

replying to @cjmcginnis @cjmcginnis @united @DailyTravelTips Absolutely true. Also most non-US aircraft do not have personal air vents above the seat. Airlines based in warmer climate countries always keep their cabin temperatures the highest. Those times on Thai Airways when I’m baking while everybody else is cold. #Travelskills

A10 I MUST have a window- always! So that I can lay my head on something. I also like to take pictures and timelapses from the plane :) #TravelSkills

A9. 1. Sleep on your left side? Choose left side of the plane so you can lean your head against wall. 2. Move carry on against seat so you can stretch your legs under seat in front of you. 3. Use jacket as lumbar support. 4. Wear headphones. Listen to relaxing music #TravelSkills

I like window seats on short haul flights to great cities like NYC. You can get amazing photos. But for longer-haul it's definitely the aisle. You can get up and stretch. And if you're flying over an ocean there's very little to see, anyway. A10 #travelskills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A10. Both depending on the plane type and which cabin I'm sitting in. I'd prefer window for the views of traveling J or F. @united, which seat do passengers preferred? #TravelSkills

A10 If you like to move around on long-haul flights, go for the aisle. Like to settle in for the duration of the flight? Go for the window. #TravelSkills

replying to @scotia626 @scotia626 @united @flySFO I hear from a lot of readers who lament the loss of the older seats which they feel offer more space. Esp taller/larger flyers #TravelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A10 Best seats of all are those new United Polaris style seats where your seat is both on the window and the aisle. If that isn’t available I like window for daytime short flights. Aisle for all other times. #travelSkills

replying to @travelskills @travelskills A10: I need the window seat and I've learned I have a definite preference for the right side of the plane. Considering how often I need to use the restroom, I should use the aisle seat. #TravelSkills

A9: Melatonin can be helpful if you take it at the correct destination time based on your flight times, your sleep profile and the amount of time zone changes on your trip.

replying to @LandLopers @LandLopers #Travelskills the aisle seat is the win especially for long flight. This is the correct answer 🤣

Q10 Window or aisle? Aisle. I hydrate in flight & hate crawling over someone or begging to use the loo. But on a recent flight from Italy, a teen by the window kept waking me up for pee needs. (But it’s healthier for circulation to get up every 2 hours. #TravelSkills

A10: Tough one. I like the window, because I'm less likely to need the lav so am disturbed less often. I like the aisle because my legs are long and I can "borrow" space from the aisle. Plus, if I do need the lav/stretch legs, I just go. On balance, Aisle wins #TravelSkills https://t.co/3CidaOmLW5

A10: Window Seat or Aisle? Aisle seat. I hate waking people up to go to the bathroom. Or worse, make somebody shut down their laptop and pick up their can of soda. Otherwise, I don't mind the window seat. Kind of like it on long haul flights. #TravelSkills
