It never occurred to me that someone in a middle or aisle seat would request the window seat person to close the window shade.
Looking out the window is the only fun part of flying these days.
Seriously, the window seat makes flying fun. I remember flying over a huge pit mine in Canada one time and searching satellite maps for hours later to find it and figure out what I was looking at. Flying over Greenland on Iceland Air can be jaw dropping amazement for hours at a time. Istanbul with scattered clouds was like a fantasy novel city. Even flying at night the lights tell some cool stories. I do close the window on transatlantic flights when they dim the lights for mandatory naptime. :-P
I'm a nerd for urban planning, land use, railroads, history, etc, so I find something cool to look at even if I'm flying over the biggest cornfield in Kansas
