I regularly fly longhauls in Business or First

1. Window or Aisle?
I book an aisle seat and if noone sits next to me I move to the window seat

2. Any specific seat preferences?
Depends on aircraft: 747 upper deck exit row, no upper deck then first row bulkhead seat

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?
Oh yes

4. Would you insist on a change of seat even after you are told "we are very full today"?
I would ask but if the plane is full there is nothing I can do.
I book a seat at the same time I book the flights and 99% of the time I have gotten the seat I requested.

5. Would you request for a window-or-aisle seat if you are given a bulkhead, emergency exit, or upgraded?
When I get op-ups from Biz to First I take whatever seat they give and don't ask for anything special.

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 without disturbing the other pax


7. Does flying long-haul or short-haul affect your choice of seats? (If yes, why?)
not really no more the type of aircraft used

8. Does flying in different classes affect your choice of seats? Why?
again depends more on aircraft type ie. upper deck or not

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)
Nope never done that. Once I sit down I stay there unless FA asks me to move...never happened though

9. Do you fly more than once every two months?
about that
10. Do you fly mainly for work or pleasure?
combination of both
11. Sex: M/F Age: M 29
12. Do you often fly alone or with company? alone
13. Are you on any status with any frequent flyer programs? Air Canada Gold
14. Any favourite airlines or planes?
747 and concorde
