Hello all fellow flyertalkers, as part of a research paper I'm looking at how/why/what airline passengers request for specific seats on the plane, especially a window or aisle seat, in different classes, on different planes, and whether there is a correleation between their preferences and personal lifestyles/age etc etc. If you would so kindly help me in answering the following questions I'll so greatly appreciate it!!

(You may also like to specific which class you travel in or which airline your answer pertains to specifically ):
1. Window or Aisle?
2. Any specific seat preferences?
3. Would you get the check-in agent to change the seat for you if you are given a seat you are not comfortable with?
4. Would you insist on a change of seat even after you are told "we are very full today"?
5. Would you request for a window-or-aisle seat if you are given a bulkhead, emergency exit, or upgraded?
6. Seat preference (window-or-aisle) is due to (you may select more than one
(a) window for gazing out
(b) window for leaning against
(c) window for privacy
(d) aisle for ease in leaving/returning seat
(e) aisle for easy access to overhead
(f) aisle for easy communication with FAs
(g) others: (please specify)
7. Does flying long-haul or short-haul affect your choice of seats? (If yes, why?)
8. Does flying in different classes affect your choice of seats? Why?
9. Are you likely to request for a change of seats on-board if you feel that the passengers around you disrupts your flight? (esp. if you are placed in bulkhead bassinet)


9. Do you fly more than once every two months?
10. Do you fly mainly for work or pleasure?
11. Sex: M/F Age:
12. Do you often fly alone or with company?
13. Are you on any status with any frequent flyer programs?
14. Any favourite airlines or planes?

Thank you!! I will post the survey analysis once I get them all done up . Thanks once again!!!!
