  I always buy window seat so I can get some sleep in the dark without being woken.
context: Alright then, I'll open the window. I'll open it all the way, and now nobody's happy. >
  
  Username checks out >
  
  Dude if I pay extra for a window seat it's my fucking window. If you want window controll pay more for that authoritah >
  
  I have never paid more or less for any position on a row. What airlines charge for this? >
  
  In every airline I’ve ever been on you can just let it assign you a seat for no extra charge, or pick any seat you want for an extra cost. This is important for many people including those with disabilities, pregnant people, people who pee a lot, people who are scared of flights or become claustrophobic easily, etc. I personally don’t care, but you want catch my mom on a flight unless she’s in the aisle >
  
  THIS 
  I have a chronic bladder condition and I have to pee like 3 times per hour so I can only fly in aisle seats >
  
  Nah I'm just afraid I'll see a gremlin on the plane wing. >
  
  YUM YUM >
  
  Wrong movie. >
  
  Did they make a movie out of that episode? Now I need to look that up... >
  
  Yup!  It was from the Twilight Zone Movie from 1983, with John Lithgow in the Shatner role. >
  
  Oh really? Was it good? >
  
  I chose window seats so I am the window operator. >
  
  I feel like you could have come up with a better title for yourself - Lord of the Ring-Shaped Portals or Master of All Openings or something like that. >
  
  “Master of All Openings” should be Johnny Sins official title. >
  
  Does Johnny Sins do gay porn too? I feel like you have to swing both ways to earn that title. >
  
  John Holmes did gay porn.  I neverknew that till a couple days ago. >
  
  The novelty of flying wears off after 4-5 flights per year. It ends up feeling like a long bus ride, basically. 
  Plane etiquette regarding 3 seat rows:
  Seat by window: 1 arm rest, 1 window control
  Middle Seat: 2 arm rests
  Aisle seat: 1 arm rest, extra leg room
  Middle seat/Aisle seat do not get ANY say in the window situation because they have their benefits already. >
  
  It's surprising how many uncivilized beasts don't understand this etiquette. >
  
  OP didn’t. >
  
  OP thinks he likes the setting sun directly in his eyes. Once he had that he will change his stupid opinion. Also a 15 hour flight over different timezones with light you don't want makes you change opinion. >
  
  I get the impression that OP has only ever done short flights and has little concept of the fact that no one wants to spend 9 hours looking out of a window >
  
  I wonder if he knows about clouds. >
  
  I would guess not, I try to avoid remembering that I'm in the sky when I'm flying >
  
  Hard disagree. If you want window access, make sure you sit by the window!!! Too damn bright when it's open, anyway. >
  
  Fuck the window, I need to shutter it to get sleep and to remove myself from the fact that I’m flying through the sky >
  
  Not if you fly United Airlines… they make that choice for you and then will claim the windows broken when you try to undim them >
  
  Seriously? “Broken” is the last word a passenger wants to hear on a fucking plane, that’s a really sketchy practice >
  
  Ever fly early in the a.m.? The brightness is blinding. I'm closing the window shade. >
  
  This has to be someone who doesn’t fly frequently. >
  
  Yeah, a real pro intentionally selects the window seat away from the sun so they can both open the shade and not have blinding sun piercing the cabin so anyone can still sleep.
  Source: 74 flights this year. >
  
  A real pro just selects an aisle seat
  Source: less than 74 flights this year >
  
  Maybe. To each their own. 
  Know yourself and know your plane. I don’t like to be bothered. A window guarantees I don’t have to get up because someone else can’t hold their bladder. Likewise, on a CRJ200 if you’re over 170lbs, and 5’10” sit in the aisle otherwise you’ll feel smushed. 
  To me, the aisle sucks except for the extra space in the aisle you can lean into which makes you subject to flight attendants purposely pummeling your arm or knee. >
  
  I only select window seats for late or early flights so I can lean up against the window to sleep, I prefer the aisle if I know I won’t sleep. I don’t mind getting up to let people out but I HATE asking people to let me out and having to move past them. I hold my bladder like a pro but I’m also a woman so I get periods lol. 
  I feel its more about personal preference than seat picking intelligence >
  
  If I pay for the window seat. It's my fucking window. >
  
  I flew over a lightning storm on a late night flight and I kept getting shushed when I couldn't control myself gasping at how fkn amazingly awesome it was to be above a lightning storm "wooow, omg!" I was quiet but it would just pop out XD I felt bad but omg one of the best things I've ever seen. >
  
  Until the lightning hits your window.... >
  
  You want control of the window, you take the window seat. >
  
  This exactly. >
  
  If you want to control the window, pay more to sit there. >
  
  i don’t think you even have to pay more. you just select that seat instead of aisle. >
  
  You definitely do. Why do you think an airline isn't going to extract every dollar they can? >
  
  No, you don’t. Price is quoted before you pick your seats (class aside, of course). >
  
  Yes and then - if you want to choose your seat they add 10€ on top of it (well in Europe at least). >
  
  yeah, it’s their window. if they got the window seat, they are the window operator. what they say goes.
