There is no "roomier." It's just whether you prefer to be pinned in and climb over someone when you have to go to the bathroom or be constantly rammed in the shoulder by people going by and beverage carts.

On short flights I prefer window. On flights longer than 4 hours, I prefer aisle. If you're feeling self-conscious about your weight, you might feel better with window if you don't think you'll need to get up. No one will have to crawl over you and you can lean against the window.
If I am travelling by myself, I feel less claustrophobic in the aisle. Even if my seatmates need to get up, at least it's a chance for me to stretch a bit. I can't sleep on a plane, so the window support isn't a bonus for me.
Traveling by myself - aisle. If I were to take a long flight where I knew I'd want to sleep, I might try for a window instead. BUT my need to be able to use a bathroom w/o bothering other people might even trump that.

Usually do window domestically so I can learn against the window. On International Flights I have no choice but to be at the Aisle, cause I am bourgeoisie.
I take aisle on daytime flights so I can get up and access the bathroom, and I take window on red eye flights because I like being able to slump against the wall to sleep (well, I don't LIKE it, but it's better than the alternative).
Thanks all. Flight is delayed. I really need to get to NJ today by 2pm.
I think I'll stick with window and pray i can fit in the seat

I am also obese and I generally prefer the window. I can get situation and I find that I can lean against the wall/window/fuselage to give the person in the middle a little more room.
however, I noticed that you were flying on Southwest. Now they have been criticized in the past for their treatment of "passengers of size", I believe right now they will give you thta second seat for free rather than paying for it. You just need to talk to the gate agent. It might make flying more comfortable for you? I can buckle my seat belt just fine without an extender and lower the arm rests, but I can't say that the thought hasn't crossed my mind that it would make everyone more comfortable if I had two seats. It's more of a pride thing for me.

I love you.
I prefer the window because it helps me to see out when I'm freaking out about turbulence.

Generally window. If I think I'm going to have to pee a lot, aisle.
This can create some problems since DH is so tall he prefers aisle. So if we want to sit together, either he's really uncomfortable or I'm in the middle.

LOL!!! Like you ain't bourgeoisie too!! And Cicero and summer !!
Aisle. I hate the window seat. I'm really tall so I like to be able to cross my legs and have my foot hang out in the aisle. I also select flights based on the plane's layout and prefer 2/3 arrangement. I try to always get the aisle seat of the 2-seat side.
