When we're kids and our bladder control is... limited, we always want to bag the window seats on airplanes. The view (of clouds, no less. Just endless oceans of clouds) wins out over a clear route to the toilet that doesn't involve jumping over people and upsetting trays of half-eaten food.
Which is just silly, as the view will never be good enough to justify peeing in your pants.
But as adults, when most of us can hold on for quite a while, we have little or no interest in the view and an aisle seat takes priority. No more jumping over grumpy-middle-seat-person for us. Oh no, when we need to go, we're going to do it with dignity.
Of course, once we have this unobstructed path to the loo, we probably don't need to go as badly as we did when we were kids.
But then, there's the irony for you.

I always take the window-seat. Because you can't be in an airplane and NOT feel like a kid when the ground falls away into a field of pretty lights.
I'll have to get back to you on the peeing thing. I..er.. have had to sheepishly sidle over my fair share of sleeping co-flyers in my day.
