Jacaranda Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Both times I've flown back to Oz within the last 2 yrs I've chosen seats right at the back,with the two seats together and chosen the aisle seat.No problems at all hon.I figure (and I was right)that the other person sat next to the window would also be flying alone.Not sure how Id feel flying alone sat next to a couple?Both times have been good for me because both people respected my privacy as I did theirs,and we really only spoke during meal times.The rest of the time I pretty much slept!haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 I fly frequently and always leave choosing seats to as late as possible, that way I quite often don't have anyone sitting next to me as most other people have chosen there is a much higher chance the seat next to you will be free. The flights I take are rarely fully booked though as they are expensive business flights - who else wants to fly to London at 6am on a Monday morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest51810 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 I ended up beside a hot guy when I was coming back from herm, it was a bit uncomfortable because I kept worrying I was going to doze off and end up on his shoulder. Would be cool if I did end up beside someone who was good to talk to. Although I don't want to talk the whole way there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmjg Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Id go 16F, as 16D is also likely a single passenger, the middle seat may stay free....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newjez Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 [/color] You choose at the time of booking (or as near damn possible) not at check-in I select at the time of booking and check regularly. I've still got four stretches of four. That would beat my three stretches of four two years ago. Better than business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumpingjellybean Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'm not wanting a window seat just because I don't like being stuck in. Personally I prefer the window seat because the window makes the perfect place to put your pillow or lean against. Good support. Also like looking out. I can never sleep in the middle or aisle because you are always being woken by people getting in and out of seats, people passing to loo, trolleys being pushed down aisle, etc...

JockinTas Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I used to prefer an aisle seat but as jumpingjillybean says the window seat is more comfortable for leaning against and making yourself comfy with a pillow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 See I don't like the window seat 'cos if the person next to me is sleeping I won't disturb them! too nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest51810 Posted August 21, 2015 Author Share Posted August 21, 2015 I'm not sitting at the window for the same reason as lady rainicorn. I hate asking people to move and I'll just sit there and barely drink a thing for that reason which wouldn't be a good idea. I've been dehydrated in the past so now I'm trying to drink a lot more. When I had the cold the other day I was drinking loads, probably too much but I felt like I needed. My service user said to me the next morning "Stacey do you have a overflowing bladder" lol :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacaranda Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 No I've never chosen a window seat SS when travelling alone.I do drink a lot of water when travelling (I do even when I'm not!)and consequently have to visit the loo several times lol So for that reason alone,I wouldn't.The last couple of times I've been back in Oz,I've chosen the aisle seat at the very back where there are two seats.I've noticed though,middle row seats have been quite empty,and people have managed to have a whole row to themselves so can put the arm rests up to stretch out and sleep.I have no problem sleeping whilst sitting up on a long haul.I'd get picking hon otherwise you'll either have limited choice or none!

PomCop Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I've always chosen the isle seat as I find it to be the most convenient for me. I don't mind being woken to let others out :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metoo Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 There are only 2 seats left on our flight and they are miles apart from each other so we haven't booked them. Hoping the check in staff will find us something a bit closer together otherwise we have the galley and toilets between us on the heathrow to Singapore leg. Oh well if either of us changes our mind about going, at least we won't be able to row about it :biglaugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
