Window seat boarding etiquette question

This morning’s boarding made me second guess something I’ve apparently been doing the same way for 30 years. I had the window. Middle was empty. Aisle was working on her laptop. I say I have 12A, she barely looks up and tells me she’ll get up after I put my bag in the overhead....

Who actually controls this awkward middle window shade?

In First Class and ran into one of those weird window setups where the row in front of me and my row both have our own main windows, but there’s this extra window stuck in between. It’s basically behind their shoulders and kind of split between the two rows. Obviously adults can...

Window seat controls the shade, full stop

I’ve always thought this was pretty clear. If you pick the window, you control the window. If you need light or get claustrophobic, that’s exactly why aisle and window choices exist. You handled it way more politely than most people would have. You explained, offered to switch,...

Why do so many people keep the window shade closed?

Noticing this more lately. Folks will board, sit down, and keep the shade closed the entire flight. I get it if the sun is blasting or you want to sleep, but on a clear day it feels wild to miss the views. Today from ORD to DEN I was in 4B and asked the guy in 4A if he could...

Why did United make everyone close their windows on a short daytime flight?

Flew United recently (1.5-hour domestic flight, mid-day) and was surprised when the crew told everyone to close their windows and dimmed all the lights. I’ve only seen that on long international flights. I had a window seat but kept it shut since everyone else did ended up with...

Lady in the middle seat reached over me to open my window

I’m on my 38th flight this year and always get about the same row and the same window seat. Before the plane even took off from Orlando, I was already out cold. The person in the middle seat (~65F) reached over me to open MY window up so she could look out. The heat and the...

Spotted Meteor Crater from my flight

Snapped this shot on a PHX–MSN flight and realized that round hole down there is Meteor Crater in Arizona. Super cool to see it so clearly from the air. The winding lines up top look like old water channels too.

Flew over the Grand Canyon… only window up in first class

Just crossed the Grand Canyon and I was the only one in FC with the shade open. Forehead glued to the glass like a kid absolute stunner. Little reminder to crack the window now and then, the real IFE is outside.
