Last row in the window seat if possible. We didn't have to worry about being in people's way getting the car seat installed and uninstalled. It was also quieter which helped because DS get overwhelmed when there are lots of people around him.
Window seat for the carseat. We got cheap fares so paid the extra to upgrade to comfort class. More legroom so he can't kick the seats and plenty of extra time to get everything on board and settled.
Just an FYI, if you are planning on using your car seat on the plane, I'm almost positive you have to have it in a window seat.
This is true. Also, on all the planes we were on, the bathrooms with the changing stations were in the front. Check the plane you'll be on to see if a.) it has a changing station in one of the bathrooms, and b.) where it is.
Also, you have to be at least two rows away from the exit row with a carseat.
