I choose my window because I want to have the view and natural light, not going to sacrify the perks come from my choice of seat.
There is no right to request someone to close to shade for your enjoyment not unless the person by the window is sleeping. Whenever I sit by aisle, I had never asked anyone by the window to close or open the shade, even some of them close the shade the entire flight from take off to landing.
i agree. Now, here is a question i have always had. WHat about that 2nd window that is usually between the 1st and 2nd row of many planes. If your in the 1st row and you lean back, the window is by you. However, if you do not lean back, the window is in the 2nd row. whose responsibility is that window?
