Are You a Window or an Aisle Person?
I prefer to have a window seat and wondering what you guys like better - a window or an aisle? 
If I take a business window seat on 747/777 and my neighbor adjusts the seat to its maximum flat level, will I still have some space to walk out or I need to jump scross his/her legs??

This may be selfish, but I would rather wake someone else up to get out, than have someone wake me up. Window anyday.

Aisle, with the exception of redeyes. Then I take the window. You see, I am a much better predictor of my bladder habits than I am of others. I don't sleep on any flights, except redeyes. When I am asleep, I prefer not to be awoken.
One thing I am sure of which we all agree - NO MIDDLE SEATS ... EVER!!!!

Aisle for longer flights (I try to stay well hydrated
)I'd really prefer a seat that's both window & aisle, but I can't really afford to be flying int'l F, unfortunately.

I can't complain too much, though -- the extra flight allows me to avoid all the hassles at Dulles (except for the G gates -- 
) and go through the 30-40 second security lines at CHO. Plus I get an extra 500 EQM!

I prefer an ailse every time. Less claustrophobic, closer to F/A for food/beverage service, easier to stand and get something from overhead. And I dont mind getting up to allow seatmates to pass by....
