Ans. Now you know why.
It is totally worth spending some extra bucks to book that window seat. As the above pictures prove, the view from above are just breathtaking.
Thanks to all bloggers for sending in their contribution.

LOL, I was ready for safety tips and other reasons to choose the window seat but I was pleasantly surprised! I always do choose the window seat for the view and to (try) to sleep leaning against the wall. I am a terrible plane sleeper. Lovely photos!
😀 Thanks
I cannot choose one over the another at all. I would definitely like to see all of the views & I’m sure there’s so much more which you can add to this list. I always ask for a window seat whenever I fly, no compromising on that 😀
That is good to hear 🙂 I usually pay extra to book that window seat if I have a day flight.
SO TRUE! Window seats are the best. I love the feeling of seeing islands and hills from the window as we approach 🙂
For me it is sunrise and sunsets. They are just mesmerizing.
Wow I’ve never thought of doing a window seat compilation gallery. This is such an amazing idea and you are right. Window seat is always the right seat!
😀
Haha, you do not need to convince me to choose the window seat in a flight, I ALWAYS make sure that I do (or I get cranky if I don’t get it). Nevertheless, lovely captures, I’ve got a few of my own 🙂
That is good to hear. I usually book the window seats so that no one takes it away.
I always choose my seat upon booking confirmation. If not possible, I do it during online check-in. This way, I can always get a window seat.
Thanks for including my photo of Jeddah. That window shot from Buenos Aires to Santiago was just amazing.
Thanks for the contribution. It is a great photo indeed.
Love the variety of the views, thanks for including mine!
Thanks for the contribution.
Really beautiful. Window seats are best to capture those lovely moments and also it makes us feel like floating with clouds
That is exactly the reason I take window seats for day flights.
Fantastic pictures – but as someone who suffers from Claustrophobia that just doesn’t work for me. I hate being hemmed in by other people. Sometimes it IS a real shame!
Ohh that is bad. 🙁 Maybe when you are traveling with your family, you can enjoy the views.
I always use either the window or the aisle seat. Window is perfect for the view. But if you choose the aisle seat, you can go to the toilet whenever you want 😀
For short flights, I would go for the window seat.
Beautiful pictures and my London always has the best bird’s eye view, I had some great view of New York, Frankfurt, Oslo, Los Angeles, Sydney, Uluru, Victoria Falls, Cape Town, …… that’s true! That’s why I usually choose the window instead of center! @ knycx.journeying
🙂
Such epic shots – on long haul flights I prefer the aisle seat, just for the ability to get in and out as I please – btu I often travel with my partner, and we usually get the row of 3 which is awesome, so we get the window seat for photos on take off and landing.
I’ve done the Buenos Aires to Santiago and LOVED those mountain views. Flying into La Paz, Bolivia too was amazing because it’s the highest city in the world, and you’re so close to the mountains even though you’re flying at a normal altitude. Lake Titicaca can be seen from the window too which is the highest navigable lake in the world – stunning turquoise water patterns. Great post!
Thanks for sharing your flight experience. I bet you have seen a lot of these during your travels.
Definitely, this kind of pictures is reason enough to opt for a window seat on a plane. But there are many others too why always look for a window seat. One of them is it is more comfortable if you want to take a nap.
That is right. But you can always self checkin and book the seats then.
Lovely shots! Male to Doha is my favourite among the lot 🙂
🙂
This is so true. I too try to book the window seat during day flights. Nice photographs.
Great.
Even when I do have the window seat, my in-flight photos never turn out as great as these 🙁 The South America shots are my faves!
🙂
I always tend to go for aisle seats to avoid getting trapped ha! But my partner much prefers window seats – when he reads this it’ll be hard to argue with him!
😀
Best argument I have ever seen Gokul. Dude, I am an aisle guy. But any time I was pushed to the windows I got some fab snaps. My fave above is the Male to Doha, and my fave in person were a few snaps I got sitting by the window above the South Pacific on the way to Fiji. What brilliant shots above. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you liked the post.
I always fly window seat! It’s truly the best because of the built in entertainment 🙂 My favorite view ever was from Oslo to Tromso. It was my first time into the Arctic.
That would have been a stunning view in the Arctic.
Personally because I fly so much long haul, the aisle is my friend. 30+ hours of being cramped in by someone in the window doesn’t do it for me. I understand it though for shorter flights and some of these shots are definitely amazing. The one near Cairns is probably my fave as it’s in my home state.
Long flights can take a toll on window seaters. I would also prefer the aisle to for a 30+ hr flight.
There are several good reasons to book a window seat here. The Faro to Lisbon shot is my favourite!
🙂
The photos defo gives the answer to the question. 🙂
Sure, it does.
If it’s a short flight, and during day time, I always choose window flights. Night flights and long haul I always choose aisle for convenience. Nice way to convince us to choose window seats though!
😀
That’s anawesome concept! I’ve never thought of doing that! Now you got me thinking what other concept i could find to make it fun to fly.
🙂
Window seat is like true love! Personally, staring at the clouds is the best thing about flying. Best enjoyed at the time of sunrise and sunset.
Totally agree on that. It is the best feeling.
I am the aisle seat kind of person but you just made me doubt in my decisions, haha. Next time I fly, I will think about your post for sure. Awesome pictures!
😀 You should try the window seat atleast during short flights.
Lovely compilation of pictures from the window seats. The aerial views are reason enough to choose the window seats but I only wish the other two seats are empty so that I don’t have to squeeze through to walk to the washroom 🙂
That would be great. 😀 Should try flying during the off season.
