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.

如果你在長途巴士上想睡個好覺，而且你的身體總是不自覺地往右邊倒，為了不撞到隔壁乘客並讓頭部有地方支撐，你會希望你的右手邊是『走道』還是『車窗（牆壁）』呢？為什麼？

- 觀念驗證： 這題是在考驗我們能否溫柔地捕捉文章中的「小細節」，然後再暖心地把它們「連結起來」。文章在 Sleeping Preference 這個段落，很貼心地告訴我們一個小秘密：如果你在睡覺時習慣往某個方向傾斜，那麼選擇該側的靠窗座位 (window seat) 會是最理想的選擇喔！因為窗邊就像一道溫暖的牆壁，可以輕柔地支撐我們的身體，讓我們睡得更舒服。文中的 Dominika 提到她會向右倒，所以她選擇了右側的靠窗座位，這是不是跟我們的 (A) 選項完全吻合呀？你觀察得很仔細呢！
