Flying is highly dependent on personal preferences, each person have adopted to a certain set of guidelines and tries to stick to it. Some prefer the isle seats to easily move around, some prefer the center for least turbulence, while some prefer the window seats for the view and a place to lean.
I personally go by window seats; music with earbuds; and no food.

Sometimes I think photography makes me very anti-social. But it is hard to find someone who will stand in the middle of the road to wait for the shot….
2 more days and home bound. It’s been a while.
