Up in the Air!

aerial view from airplane

It’s just lately I’ve become keen on choosing a window seat upon checking in for flights. Previously I haven’t cared too much. If I wanted to get some sleep in, I would try to get seated at the window, if not, I would rather be in an aisle seat. But in the last couple of years I have become more aware of what’s outside the huge metal bird taking me around the globe. And this post will be a homage to the beauty that can only be experienced from above. I will update this post as new frequent flyer miles are acquired, though Clooney’s ten millions might be a stretch πŸ™‚

Luckily the views are the same, whether I travel in business class or on low-cost airlines. Just remember never use Gotogate to get you up in the air.

  1. I am scared of flying but I feel kind of ok when I can see the ground (I know, it doesn’t make sense). Like to take a look around when the plane is landing.

  2. A great collection of photos, I especially love the view of The Amazon – incredible! I love having the window seat and one of my favourite views is flying over The Andes Mountains when getting to Chile, it’s stunning πŸ™‚

    1. Thanks! I have now become a fan as to I stop for a second to think about what I will be flying over before choosing a seat at check in. Melbourne was cool both from up above and on street level πŸ™‚

  3. The Melbourne, Australia shot is interesting – even rectangular squares, but of different colors. I wonder what grows there. Thanks for the slide show. I really enjoyed it, from the safety of my chair. (I don’t care for window seats much, and only occasionally glance out the window as we take off or land.)

  4. Beautiful, beautiful pictures!!!! I never get photos that good from any window seat. πŸ™‚

Love to hear your comment :)
