Like Hotel Tango I was, and to a degree still am, a reasonable regular user of EK by most peoples standard (used to do about 30+ sectors a year down to 9 last year) mostly on 380 in Business, and I have always had a window seat by specification. Indeed have to include when flying with Mrs Mac (who also likes window seat) and we invariably end up scattered around the cabin, usually meeting at the bar on the 380 ! Some people are not bothered about seeing out, others as you can see are, and for me it is important to try and get a window seat. Would I not fly if no window seat was available, of course I would, but I do try not to put myself in that situation, so that I invariably can see out.
Regards
Mr Mac
