Window, aisle or middle? New survey finally settles Australia's great aeroplane seat debate

The ultimate battle over which aeroplane seat is the best is officially over - and the winner might leave you second-guessing your next booking.

If you're a fan of stretching your legs in the aisle and getting up as many times as you like unannounced, we have some bad news for you: you lost.

Having that view out the window and being able to lean on the plane's wall is the ultimate combination for a breezy flight, according to the results of a recent survey.

More than half (52 per cent) of travellers said they always choose the window seat.

Only 36 per cent of people choose the aisle seat, while a very small 3 per cent willingly choose the middle seat.

The other 9 per cent didn't have a preference.

The survey, conducted on 1000 Australians by low-cost airline Scoot, also found what type of traveller people prefer to sit next to.

Are you a chatty Cathy? Unfortunately, only 14 per cent of people want to sit next to you.

Another 42 per cent said they prefer to sit next to someone who keeps to themselves.

When it comes to what matters most on flights, Australians said they prioritise comfort and space (65 per cent), value for money (55 per cent) and peace and quiet (52 per cent).

When asked what passengers would forgo to lower the cost of their plane ticket, 39 per cent said they would forgo Wi-Fi, 38 per cent said the amenities and comfort kit weren't so important to them, and 32 per cent said they would forgo entertainment.

Only 17 per cent would give up baggage to lower their ticket price.

Scoot also asked which celebrity passengers would most like to sit next to, if given the chance.

Some of the most popular were Margot Robbie, Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Jackman and Delta Goodrem.

But 23 per cent said they would prefer not to sit beside a celebrity at all - they would prefer a peaceful journey.

Scoot general manager, Australia, Adam Kelly, said South East Asia is "incredibly popular for Australians" right now.

"Japan is now the number-two destination for all of Australians and we're seeing an uptick in that as well," Kelly said.

"Scoot now [flies to] Narita and Haneda airports so we've got both those options."

While Scoot's parent airline, Singapore Airlines, has signed on with the new Western Sydney International airport, Scoot has not.

Kelly said there are no plans at this time for the low-cost airline to fly out of Western Sydney.

"We'll monitor it and see if it's right for us in the future," he said.

And can we expect Scoot to fly out of Geelong, Newcastle or Canberra airports any time soon?

Not at this stage, Kelly said.

"We are a low-cost carrier. Everything we do is about the efficiency ... we need the volumes of passengers."
