I love to look out the window. Be it icebergs, the northern lights, forest fires or just twinkling lights I want to see it. I always prefer a window seat for just that --->THE WINDOW. My other half is a movie guy. He always wants that shade shut. He prefers the cabin as dark as possible. There can be a growl back and forth. We really do love one another. Also don't want to spend 10 hours in the plane without his company. So, I 'suffer' in silence with an occasional peak out the window. When we have one, I put the divider thing up after the meal is served and watch the world go by.

A secret reason I peak out the window is a bit of claustrophobia. It vanishes when I can see that big beautiful world out there. I like it when the airline video shows the outside. That would be answer. Cruise ships show the outside why not airplanes.
