When you travel by plane, your ticket shows important information such as your seat number, boarding time, and gate number. Some people prefer a window seat because they can see the sky and the landscapes below. Others prefer an aisle seat to move easily.
For example:
Look at my ticket! I have the window seat.
She prefers the aisle seat because she likes to stand up often.
He is sitting in seat 12A next to the window.
Understanding your ticket is important to find your seat and have a comfortable flight.
