This usually comes with an extra cost. “Window seats usually are the priciest as compared to aisle seats. Middle seats are the cheapest or often free,” says Vishrut Gandhi, Founder of Udaan Holidays.

According to the authors, it's the safest spot because it's the most isolated seat you can find (other than those ultra-luxe first class mini cabins). That's because there is only one passenger beside you, and gives a passenger much-needed inches from the aisle, where crew and other passengers can frequently pass by.
The window seat offers prime real estate for those who want the least amount of disruption during their flight. Anyone who has dealt with seat mates climbing over them to use the bathroom can respect this preference. You also won't be bothered by aisle traffic or have your elbows clipped by the beverage cart!
Disadvantages: – climbing over passengers to go to the bathroom, and waking them up, and getting that, can't you control your bladder look. – Can be quite a bit colder if leaning against the side of the aircraft.
Window Seat ? Pros and Cons:Some people say it helps with claustrophobia. Can be colder as it is usually up against the vents. You do not have to worry about passengers who want to get in and out of their seats. You also have main control over whether to open or close the window shades.

Specifically, pick a window seat on the left side of the aircraft. These seats are usually off-center, making leaning up against the side of the plane more comfortable. A bulkhead seat is also a great option because you don't have to worry about anyone reclining into your space.
Studies vary, but they generally tend to converge on 3 items: Aisle seats are safer* than window seats. Seats at the rear are safer* than seats in the front. Seats near emergency exits are safer* than those farther away.
In fact, most regular airlines now charge for seat selection anyways. It's often around $10-$30 per seat per flight segment, so if you cave in and pay for that, it can add up quickly. You shouldn't do it. No matter which airline you're flying on, don't ever pay to select a seat.
Exit rows, aisle or window seats, and anywhere close to the front are typically considered the best seats on a plane. On a short business trip, you might want an aisle seat near the front of the plane so you can debark as quickly as possible on arrival.
Occasionally, aircraft with a seating structure of 2+2 may letter the seats as ACDF to keep with the standard of A/F being window and C/D being aisle on short-haul aircraft (which generally have 3+3 seats).
Request at the check-in desk:The airline staff will accommodate you. Alternatively, check-in at a self-service kiosk and verify the flight's seat availability before printing your boarding card. Select a window seat if one is offered.
If daydreaming in the clouds is your thing, ask for a window seat up front or toward the back. Window seats more in the middle of the plane, while usually experience less turbulence, will generally only provide you with a bland view of the wing for your entire trip.
