Many "ladies" on long haul and domestic flights have carry on bags that should be checked. So if you have an aisle seat, you do have watch out for them since most of them IMO can't handle the bags they carry on, particularly in the overheads. But on long hauls I prefer the aisle to get up and move around. Short flights I prefer the window. I flew to and from Alaska last week on United. It appeared, at least on that flight that the airline was enforcing the carry on size and number rules....which they should.I've only made the trip once. I elected for an aisle seat, thinking I could get up and move around easier. The drawback was constantly getting bumped and banged as everyone else walked by. Even got smacked in the head as ladies threw Thier purses over Thier shoulder while they were putting things into or taking them out of the overhead. When I make the flight on June 17, I'm going to find out if a window seat is better.
My choice is window for sleeping, aisle for getting up and moving around, etc. So it kind of depends on which direction you are going and how much you need / want to move around.
Window, time seems to pass a little faster when there is something to look at besides the back of the seat in front of you
Row 29 is a win win.If you opt for an aisle seat, the center section is a good choice (seats D or F). The logic being you only have one person that might crawl over you and that the person in the center seat can get up and exit either way. You won't miss much by not having a window from a view standpoint.
