Odd seating habits

I am the only one that has one?

I am not sure if it's superstition or just a habit, but I always end up sitting on the left side of the aisle (facing forward, eg 36A) and a lot of the time I'll chose a seat on the left when reserving online, subconsciously. Haven't sat on the other side since I was a kid ...

Also when flying a in smaller aircraft like a Dash-8 I'll sit as far back as possible, again not sure why.

Anybody else have any?

10k for some unknown reason. Feels a bit strange if I am on the left hand side of the plane ?|

Other than that, just an isle seat and I'll be happy. :D

I too always sit on the left hand side of the plane, it has to be an even row and an A seat.

I am another who locking back has 9 times out of 10 chosen a seat on the
left of the aircraft.
And I too choose to sit at the back of anything smaller than an A320 and as close to the front as possible on a wide body jet.

If I have the choice then the Porst Side of the Aircraft is my preference - but i would not loose any sleep if I could not pre- reserve a seat on that side

When I was flying every week on EZY, it was always port side, window seat to the rear of the aircraft. Still is when I do the route again on occasion.

Left side for me too. On EI I try to get 6A and nearly always succeed when OLCI opens

Never really noticed before reading this but thinking back always sit on the 'A' side of the aircraft too, can't remember the last time I didn't thinking now!

Also like to try and sit as far forward as possible, but that's not subconsciously to be honest, particularly on a a/c with more than one class haha

Dont mind on which side of the aircraft but try to get an aisle on my right. Right knee gets a bit stiff and nice to be able to stretch if I need to.

Tend to opt for window seats on overnighters though. I value sleep over bathroom trips and prefer not to be disturbed.

Like others I have.
I always have port side of the aircraft going out, starboard side coming back in to London.
I know why I sit on that side coming back in to London, if the wind and routing is right, there is no sight like flying parallel to the Thames and seeing London in all its glory. Not sure on the way out tho!!!
