    When riding an airplane, especially on international and long-haul flights, where are you seated most of the time? First class? Business class? Economy class? Are you particular as to where will you be seated like the aisle. middle or in the window seat or even near the exit door?

    Some people are very particular when it comes to where they want to be seated... How about you?

    Depends on what type of flight it is. If it's for the office, its usually coach class but using the most comfortable airline available (i.e. Singapore Airlines, Cathay). Pag personal, kung talagang long haul at kelangan maka pahinga, bite the bullet and take business class (very rare for me though).

    first or business class pag international. pag domestic US, economy class, although sometimes my status with Delta Airlines gets me upgraded for no additional cost to first class

    seating for me only really matters when traveling economy. kapag short flight, or i intend to sleep through the flight - window seat...so no one will bother me to get out to go to the bathroom. if i know i'm going to be in a hurry, or will be getting up often to work/get stuff from my bag, i pick the aisle. i will never willingly sit in a middle seat.

    oks yung exit row, extra legroom!

    there isn't really a bad 1st class or business class seat. they all have plenty of leg and elbow room, and there's room to walk around as well

    Whatever is available.

    Pero I usually fly economy. Pareho lang naman ang touchdown time e. hehehe

    Business Class ka dapat kung malayo masyado (like around 10hrs or so) masikip kasi sa economy though not in all airlines. Sa iba kasi, liveable naman yung space.

    Pag malalapit like HK, CHina, economy lang - unless sobrang dami mong dala, the overweight baggage would somehow offset the cost. hehe.

    I particularly like it in a window seat in front of the wings, mahilig kasi ako magtake ng photos whenever possible and the height amazes me. It just scares me to see the jet engines wiggle during turbulence.

    coach all the way. sayang pambayad. pero i've been fortunate na ma-upgrade to business class occassionally. sarap hehe may mga freebies pa.

    yup, bad trip talaga to fly international on economy. pero tiis na lang. ang laking mahal ng business class e.

    wife ko nakasakay na ng world business class (NW) on an international flight (US). sobrang sarap daw. as in nakahiga ka sa flight. woohoo sarap siguro nun. hanggang pangarap na lang ako. yun ngang kilala kong negosyante (net worth greater than P200M) laging economy class. nanghihinayang sa gastos sa business class.

    on the other hand, i have a friend from new jersey who has no choice but to NOT fly economy. hindi kasi siya kasya sa mga upuan sa coach hehehe sobrang laki niya kasi.

    i always fly economy although i got transferred to business class once on my way to shanghai. kakilala ko kasi yung chief stewardess nila.

    but even though in economy class, i always ask for a seat beside the emergency exit para nakaunat ang legs ko. hindi ako kasya pag sa likod eh.

    Personal Gastos: Economy

    Corporate Sponsored: First or Business siyempre hehe.

    I try my best to get a window seat. Kung wala, aisle.... kung wala pa rin eh di kahit saan na.

    Also i prefer a seat behind the wings. statistically a bit safer.

    90% of the time, I fly coach. Once in a while, I say heck with it and fly business class. I don't really need that much pampering on a flight. I travel light (mostly with just a backpack and no check-ins). If I'm sleepy enough, I can sleep anywhere, even within the confines of coach. I do pick an aisle seat everytime so I can stretch and easily get up to take a wheez.

    generally, economy. . .
    as to the seat, depends on what the seating arrangement is--if 2-3-2, i would choose a window seat. if 3-4-3, i would go for an aisle seat for an easier time when going to the loo.

    In my case I only have 2 of the 3 choices because I was able to fly in economy and never did again because my legs cramped like hell! I'm 6'2" kasi eh

    So the last 2 trips had to be in Business Class. I'm still dreaming the day I can fly First Class

    Pag business trip (company sponsored) more than 6hrs flight business class and pag vacation usually na u-upgrade dahil sa frequent flyer Platinum and Gold cards.. I prefer window kung flight from east to west, window naman kung west to east.

    One time on my Mnl/SFO/Mnl route business class. Upgraded from Economy.

    Even in Business Class, its still hard to sleep.

    My opposite aisle seat is a TV show host guy. Many passengers wants to have a picture with him. That adds to my isomnia.

Do you fly first class, business class or economy class?
