1. Window or Aisle?
Window in C. Aisle in Y unless its the bulkhead row where I prefer window.

2. Any specific seat preferences?
In C: Upper deck exit row window on a 747, first row window on a 777.
In Y: First bulkhead row window or aisle. Exit row aisle on flights where I know there are going to be screaming babies in the bulkhead row.

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?
I usually check-in online or confirm the seat at booking so I get the seat I want.

4. Would you insist on a change of seat even after you are told "we are very full today"?
No, but I would ask again nicely

5. Would you request for a window-or-aisle seat if you are given a bulkhead, emergency exit, or upgraded?
Yes.

6. Seat preference (window-or-aisle) is due to (you may select more than one
(a) window for gazing out
(d) aisle for ease in leaving/returning seat
(f) aisle for easy communication with FAs

7. Does flying long-haul or short-haul affect your choice of seats? (If yes, why?)
Yes. I do long-haul in C, short-haul in Y. See answer to Q1.

8. Does flying in different classes affect your choice of seats? Why?
Yes. I like staring out of the window when I'm in C.

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)
No.

9. Do you fly more than once every two months?
Yes.

10. Do you fly mainly for work or pleasure? Work pays for it, though its always a pleasure

11. Sex: M Age: 25

12. Do you often fly alone or with company?
Alone.

13. Are you on any status with any frequent flyer programs?
SQ and NW.

14. Any favourite airlines or planes?
Definitely the 747-400. Never ceases to amaze me how that hunk of metal can fly.
