Well my last few flights I have sat in the aisle, mainly becuase I have had a lot of CRJ flights were I can strech my legs in the aisle since there is no first class. In short has anyone else switch from Window to Aisle or Aisle to Window after years of sitting the the same seat.
I have almost always preferred and requested an aisle seat. I'm 6'2" with long legs and I appreciate some extra room the aisle provides for me, especially when I have a larger person sitting in the middle seat next to me. On a flight yesterday from Santo Domingo, DR to Atlanta (delayed 3 hours) I was assigned a window seat, and I enjoyed it. I don't get up much on short flights like this so it wasn't inconvenient and I enjoyed looking out the window and also the extra shoulder room.
