IF you want to sight see- Book a scenic flight- When I book to LHR, BGI, or wherever–
I am not interested in looking out the window in between-
When I want to see surrounding/s I book GA–(General Aviation-for the amateurs) or charter a helicopter when I get there-
-----Just had to respond to the Romper room comments

Last time I was booked an extended legroom seat the airline changed airplanes with the extended legroom rows moved aft several rows. The airline did not adjust the seat assignments so I ended up with my knees into the seat in front of me. Told my company never to book me on another flight on that “no frills” airline!

Worse than the windowless window seat, once booked a transatlanic flight with British Airways, an overnight flight so I went for the premium economy to get a bit more space and a better chance at some sleep. The row was not only windowless (I didn’t really care about that, but my fellow passenger might have) but right next to the toilets, so being in the aisle I was constantly being jostled, had the sound of the toilet going all night, and the toilet smell was very strong - and they charged a premium fare for this!

Ironic. As an airline pilot, I can never get over going back in the cabin and seeing every window shade closed. And people get upset when they’re opened because it’s too much light!

Also annoys me that my current employer doesn’t require thre shades to be open for takeoff or landing. So, if there’s a problem outside the customers have no idea what’s going on. My previous airline required them to be up for takeoff and landing for safety. And I agreed with that logic!

Guess they need to designate ‘window’ seats as non aisle non middle seats.

Right on, Scott 320 Pilot! I’ve been flying GA and professionally for over 50 years and I’m never tired of slipping the surly bonds and observing our earth from 5000 or 35000 feet. Every flight reveals something new.
