Travel Tip: Choosing the best seating on a plane
If you will be taking a long haul flight then don’t request a window seat particularly if you are traveling alone. Request the aisle seat instead.
The only time you will see anything in the window seat is at take off and landing and on a long flight you will really want the aisle seat as you won’t need to climb over your fellow passengers every time you need to take a trip to the bathroom.
It will also mean that you can just get out of your seat at any time to exercise your legs and get the blood flowing again.
Seats over an exit are also an excellent idea if you want extra leg room. As long as you are prepared to do whatever is necessary if there is a problem, then by all means request one of these seats. Great for tall people who need to stretch out their legs so that they don’t get cramps.

Good points about getting an aisle seat for long flights. However, I do like getting a window seat so that I can prop a pillow against it for sleeping.
