It seems to be an increasing trend for cabin crew (not just on BA) to come round and close the window blinds on longhaul daytime flights - am I the only one who likes to fly in daylight on a daytime flight?

I appreciate people may be connecting from far away and be jet lagged and want to sleep but certainly in Business they give out eye shades, and with better seat back TV entertainment "light pollution" on the screen is not so much of an issue.

And then especially on the BA Club World seat I find the seat lighting over your shoulder to be really inadequate for working if it's a night flight or all the blinds are drawn. (I wish BA would address this).

I've noticed cabin crew getting more vehement if I politely remonstrate and say I want to keep the blinds open.

I hate it when I fly to the East Coast of the States on a daytime flight but all the blinds are down. If you're flying over Greenland or Baffin Island it's fascinating to look out - much better than watching "How I met your Mother" for the 100th time. I also just find it less claustrophobic if there is daylight - and isn't it better for jetlag, especially flying westbound?

Sorry, just having a rant but am I just being selfish, or are there others who agree (or vehemently disagree) with me?
