27 reasons to take a window seat
There are many reasons why you should ask for a window seat when checking in for a flight. Firstly, you can lean on it during sleep. Secondly, you don't have to get up to let your neighbor go to the toilet. But the main reason is, of course, the view from the window! Our world is an amazing place, and from a height it looks completely different. From dawn to dusk, landscapes, cities and unimaginable cloud formations - the beauty stretches as far as the eye can see. So, why should I take a window seat?
