Need help with questionnaire

Hello fellow FTers!
I know this is not the right place to post this (or should I say I couldn't find any place to post this on this forum), but I need help with my academic paper which I selected to do airline products and seats. I know most of you are frequent flyers, therefore I would appreciate if you could help me in filling this questionnaire.

If any Admin / Moderator can find a more suitable section for this topic, I would appreciate it if you would be able to move it there. (Hopefully you can leave this topic open for at least until the end of this week, so I can gather enough data)

Thank you once again FTers, and I hope my next post will be more on topic, maybe a flight report

After filling out MANY surveys for e-Rewards I have to say this was more attractive and user-friendly than most. Two comments, though: first, you ask how often people "travel"- you may want to be more specific and ask how many round trips they take by plane. I do several road trips a year to visit family and didn't count those, but you may get inconsistent responses.

Second- you'd asked about preferences for various aircraft configurations (2-3-2, 2-4-2, etc.). Why would anyone choose the more crowded configuration? I'm not sure you'll learn much from those answers except the obvious: we don't want to be crowded! The only exception might be people traveling with children who want 3 seats together.

All things being equal and presuming I can reserve an aisle, I'd probably opt for 2-4-2 over 2-3-2. (I took the survey and selected that choice.) My reasoning is that by choosing an aisle in the center, as a single traveler I may be more likely to have an empty seat next to me. No clue if data would back up that (admittedly) random reasoning.
