A row of three empty seats on an airplane.
Business Insider's travel reporter prefers aisle over window seats on flights.
  • The majority of flight passengers prefer an aisle seat over a window, according to a recent survey.
  • I disagree. While window seats have better views, aisle seats allow me to stretch frequently.
  • Having the freedom to move throughout the flight makes the time in the air go by faster for me.

"Would you like a window seat?"

The simple question was posed to me by a fellow passenger on a recent flight. It was clear that a group of travelers had booked two rows next to each other, save for my aisle seat between them.
