firstclass 01 300x240 Survey: Whats your favorite seat on an airline?Many of my friends covet the window — personally, I’m an aisle girl.

What’s your favorite spot on the airplane?

Thanks to a new survey by Skyscanner, we know the answer — Over 1000 airline passengers were polled on their seat preferences (aside from extra legroom seats) including which section and whether they chose window, middle or aisle seats. The study found that most sought after seat on a standard aircraft is seat 6A.

Interesting! But I get it — closest seat to first class that isn’t first class, but is an aisle near the front of the plane!

Here are some other interesting findings:

  • The front six rows of the plane are the most popular, taking 45% of the votes
  • 60% prefer the window seat compared to just 40% who opt for the aisle
  • Only 1% choose the undesirable middle seat
  • The survey found that the seat no-one wanted was 31E, a middle seat towards the back of the aircraft.
  • 7% said they would choose the back row

So, tell me: What’s YOUR favorite spot on an airplane?
