However, I've often had FAs come up to me and say "Please can you put the blind down" - usually because of IFE or that they are dimming lights in cabin etc etc. What's the protocol on this? I choose a window seat specifically so that I can look outside and not feel "cooped up" and I find it much more reassuring. What do people think?
Absolutely agree with you on this especially on day flights.
Although there was a lengthy thread on this a while back so lets not go down this road again with a huge debate. On the previous thread a lot of people got themselves very worked up (as they tend to do on the BA board)
