As A pilot myself, I always tend to want to look out the window from gate push back til we clear through 10,000 feet, just because I am a control freak and like to be able to see what is happening, however once in the air everything pretty much looks the same from 35,000 feet, especially when flying the polar route. Once we are on final approach and we start maneuvering for landing, I also like to look out the window then to see what is going on, all the way until we park at the gate. That's just me though.
