Most travelers have a preference for window or aisle seats when it comes to air travel, but have you ever given thought to which side of the plane you should sit on? We polled some passengers about which side of the aisle they prefer—here’s what they suggest when selecting your seat on an airplane. Potential Views—If you prefer a window seat, you might want to check your potential flight path before picking a side. “I really like the window seat and often try and predict which side will have a better view based on the logical flight path into the airport,” says Richard Campbell, founder of Travel Platform. “I still remember my first international flight almost 25 years ago. I was flying into London Heathrow and sat on the right-hand side of the plane, looking out on the Thames and central London as we circled over the city for our approach into the airport. What a way to start a trip!” But keep in mind that no matter how much research you do, your flight might have other plans. What’s Going on in the Sky—It’s not all about the view below you. “If I’m flying a polar route, I try to be on the side of the plane that will face north during local nightfall in case I have an opportunity to witness the northern lights,” says atmospheric scientist Matthew Cappucci. But if you’re flying on a daytime flight, the sun is a more important consideration. “Since I don’t like having the sun in my eyes, I try to sit on the opposite side of the sun,” says Cappucci. “Sitting on the sunny side also means being on the noticeably warmer side of the plane.” Sleeping Preference—Do you tend to lean right or left when dozing off on a plane? If you’re one to sleep on planes, you’ll probably find yourself leaning one way or another as you drift off. “I prefer the right side of the plane, next to the window, when booking economy. I love looking out the window, but more importantly, I tend to lean to the right when I fall asleep, especially on long-haul flights,” says Dominika Dryjski, an operating officer. Right-handedness or Left-handedness—This might be a smaller consideration for nonbusiness travelers, but if you plan on working from a flight, consider your dominant hand. “As a right-handed person, I prefer to sit on the left side of the plane, in an aisle seat, as this makes it easier to work on a laptop if there’s work I have to do,” says John Lyotier, CEO of a travel magazine.
