Ask any stranger on the street whether they prefer the aisle or the window seat and you can guarantee a quick-fire response.
There is no grey area in this comically divisive debate. Window-devotees consider people who favour the aisle to be barking mad, and aisle-devotees are just as incredulous. Try it. Ask the person next to you which camp they fall into and they’ll not only answer without a second thought, they’ll most likely launch into a much-rehearsed soliloquy as to why.
Mark Vanhoenacker, British Airways pilot and author of How to Land a Plane, remarks: “When I ask friends to describe what kind of air traveller they are – window seat or aisle? – they usually respond with a certainty that suggests they figured out this air travel lark the very first time they got on a plane.”
