Fensterplatz is Window seat?, Ich glaube.

I would have to give this a barely passing grade. Videos such as this should probably have graphics of locations or signs. The translation is also incorrect. Fenster = "Window" in German (Not aisle.)

Video Transcript

While traveling in Germany while you are at an airport, here is some information that might be important to you. In general, the Germans don’t fly as much as the Americans do because the country is much smaller. There is also public transportation so you can go everywhere by train. So flying is not as popular. Even though there are major hubs like Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin. And all the signs at a German airport are also bilingual, so they are in English and in German. If you go on a transatlantic flight for instance, and you would like to go back to the United States you have to be there at least 2 hours in advance because you have to go a few times through security check, which is pretty much the same as in the United States. If you fly with in Germany, You need to be there 1 hour prior to departure. If you fly to another country in Europe, you have to be there like 1 hour and 20 minutes prior to departure. And the security checks are not as thorough as if you would flu on a transatlantic flight. Here are some phrases that might be necessary for you to know when you are at an airport. If you’d like to know where the check in is for a flight to Rome, you would ask in German “Wo finde ich den Check-in fur diesen Flug nach Rom?” Where is the check in for the flight to Rome? Once again in German, “Wo finde ich den Check-in fur diesen Flug nach Rom?” If you would want to know if the flight is on time you would say in German, “Ist der Flug nach Rom puncklitch?” Is the flight to Rome on time? Once again in German, “Ist der Flug nach Rom puncklitch?” If you would like to ask for a window seat or an aisle seat you would ask in German, “Ich hatte gerne einen Fensterplatz o Gangplatz” In English, I would like to have a window or an aisle seat. Once again in German, “Ich hatte gerne einen Fensterplatz o Gangplatz.”
