Yep aisle seats for short flights. For longer flights to Asia or Europe I always go for one of the two middle seats in a 2-2-2 configuration. Then no one ever climbs over you or visa versa.

A quick trip in support of my daughter who very suddenly lost her mentor and dissertation advisor to a heart attack. Boston, then down to Narraganset RI. Sad stuff.

That's all true but on the window you can enjoy breathtaking landscapes and even take some pictures.







Just some samples. I've been taking many more.

Wow! Nice shots.

Headed home. Aisle seats this time. Both in the emergency exit rows. Can't lean back in either, but I'll take the extra room anytime. Such small pleasures, sigh.
