That being said, personally I think some airlines take it to the extreme: Personally I think there’s merit to this on an overnight flight, especially an eastbound one, where the sun can in some cases rise just a few hours after setting.
#AIRPLANE WINDOW WINDOWS#
In premium cabins (or empty flights otherwise) crews will sometimes come through the cabin and just close window shades themselves, to make the cabin darker.Crews will sometimes make an announcement along the lines of “we know a lot of people will be trying to sleep on this flight, so we ask that you go ahead and lower your window shades to allow them to rest”.It’s not uncommon to see flight attendants suggest that passengers close window shades. Follow the cues of others with window shades What about crews closing window shades? As frustrating as it can be for those of us who like looking outside, I believe in being considerate of others, and that includes not being the only person in the cabin with an open window shade. It’s one thing if half or a quarter of window shades in a cabin are open, but when just one window shade is open, the glare is extremely unpleasant for others, whether they’re trying to sleep or watch seatback entertainment. If you are on a long haul flight and every other passenger has their window shades closed, consider closing your window shades as well. I do think there’s something to be said for taking cues from other passengers as well. Try to be considerate of other passengers as well Go with the flow in the cabin Don’t get into a confrontation - if someone is rude about you having the window shade open, or rudely demands you close it, don’t get into it, and either just agree or ask a crew member to get involved, because we don’t need any more inflight disturbances.Use the golden rule - if the person seated next to you asks politely for the window shade to be lowered, and has a legitimate reason, consider compromising.You should be considerate of others - if the sun is blinding someone else because your window shade is open, consider lowering it.While I firmly believe the person in the window seat controls window shades, there are limits: The person in the window seat controls the window shades Be considerate of others, use the golden rule One of my favorite things about flying is looking out the window and appreciating just what a miracle aviation is, and the ability to control the window shade is one of the reasons I typically choose a window seat when flying.
The person in the window seat can, within reason, decide if they want the window shade opened or closed during the flight. On the most basic level, the person in the window seat has control over the window shades, and shouldn’t need permission from the person in other seats as to how the window shades are kept. The person in the window seat controls window shades What about crews closing window shades?.Be considerate of others, use the golden rule.The person in the window seat controls window shades.
