Would you fly in a plane with no windows?

I think it would be unpleasant but doable. I do think a lot of us frequent flyers might balk at a windowless plane, but I bet there would be plenty of average flyers ready to ride in one if the fares were cheap enough. It's all about price to most of the flying public.

No Problem
I think they could replace the windows with LCD panels and just use a camera to make pretty pictures appear.

I totally agree... If the flight was $50 cheaper people would pick the windowless plane every time.

Safety
Are there not some operational safety reasons for the windows? So crew can see the aircraft wings, engines, etc. in emergency situations?
