Since I am on a diuretic, I always opt for an aisle seat toward the rear of the plane....not next to the potty but about six rows up. I don't especially like being next to the galley, either. I like to be able to get up and walk a bit, especially on those long transatlantic or pacific flights. I know people crawl over you and the flight attendants might break your elbow with the carts but, at least, you can grab them as they pass down the aisle if you need something.<br /><br />I always check seatguru.com to make sure I'm not getting myself <br />an "undesirable" seat where the<br />armrests don't go up or the video equipment is under the seat in front of you so that, for 13 hours, you feet are locked in a 2"<br />space in front of you.<br /><br />My biggest pet peeve is the passenger who tries to fully recline, crushing your patellas so there is no way in hell you can get up to go to the bathroom without having the flight attendants coming to pull you out of your seat.<br /><br />I prefer sitting toward the<br />rear so that you get to board first, assuring yourself of that precious bit of overhead space for<br />your carry on luggage.RNSANEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02841873957894861725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-38418717797201677732011-10-14T07:20:35.166-07:002011-10-14T07:20:35.166-07:00My seat choice is window near the front.

I like to jam my pillow up against the window and sleep.<br />Just have to say, kids are the best.
