b) don't need to be asked twice (like this inane seat-window thread).
A poster in one of your earlier threads a couple of weeks ago gave you really good advice to just enjoy the adventure of travel and not plan everything to death. Spend your planning energies on great things to do with your kids in CPH/AMS/LON, not whether or not your seat is going to have the perfect window.
While I would not go to the lengths that
nytraveller53 is going through in terms of planning, I personally see nothing wrong with
nytraveller53 posting this discussion as a separate topic regarding a window seat.
With greater than 20 years of frequent travel under my proverbial belt, my preference is for an aisle seat when I want to deplane as quickly as possible. However, I do prefer a window seat for scenery purposes, slightly increased privacy, natural lighting during the daytime, and for a place to rest my head if I am tired.
I may be biased, but even after many years of travel, I still enjoy a good window seat — especially on long-haul travel where interesting scenery of the planet below is to be expected.
