Would you swap seats? Aisle, middle, window seat? Together or separate?

Booking Seats

If you want to sit together on a plane, choose seats as early as you can.

I used to like window seats. I liked to see the view, and take photos. But I was claustrophobic. One day I was forced to take an aisle seat. I discovered that the long view up the aisle was more to my liking and left me calmer.

Changing Seats

 At the check-in you are often asked if you want to move if you are sitting separately. If you are not asked, that is the time to ask.

Once on the plane, you might ask the airline staff. 

Third choice would be to ask passengers.

Advantages of the Window Seat

Seeing the ground as you leave and arrive. Getting good photos. You can lean towards the window to sleep.

Advantages of the middle seat

Two chances of chatting to somebody interesting or meeting the man or woman of your dreams.

Advantages of the Aisle Seat

Advantages of the aisle.are that if you are claustrophobic you can focus on the long view down the aisle. One arm is free. You only have albows and bodies and legs of another passenger on one side.
