rentAcock:
Some people leave the blinds open throughout the flight gazing outside at total emptiness all because they paid for a window seat. Somehow they think they will see people and houses beneath them but most flight path goes through bodies of water.

Some ppl love seeing the taking off and landing of the plane and also seeing the cloud beneath when fully inside the cloud and sometimes the cloud do make some shape look like features..
If I go fly one I would love to sit beside the window

To check if they are landing in Naija or else where

For your safety

So you can see what's happening outside... See if there's a problem with the engine or something....

So that the pilots can see the outside of the plane to enable them make a successful reverse

I will enter plane this year by God's grace and have my own personal experience... Shalom

Why do we have to raise airplane window blinds before landing?

If you're a frequent flyer, you've probably heard a cabin crew member say this: “Before landing, please ensure that your window blinds are raised…” But why is it necessary?
Aviation expert John Walton explains. 

There's an important reason we have to raise window blinds.
Why are we asked to raise airplane window shades? 

It’s not just to give you a better view out of the window on landing, although that’s a side benefit. As with many of the things we must do on flights, it’s for safety. Opening that blind is a good plan for a combination of reasons. First of all, it’ll give your eyes time to adjust to the light level outside. If it’s a day flight, you won’t emerge blinking from a darkened cabin into the bright sunshine, and if it’s at night you’ll be able to see better. (That’s also why the cabin lights are dimmed before landing at night time, in case you were wondering.)

Second, opening your blind helps the cabin crew to see outside. It’s not just that their eyes need to adjust: it’s that having an overall view of what’s going on outside the aircraft is very useful. Often, the crew seats face backwards, and in the event that there’s some sort of incident then it’s helpful if they have a quick eye on any issue.
Does opening the shades help in an emergency? 

Aircraft are designed and tested — and cabin crew are trained — to get everyone off the plane in under ninety seconds if needed. During training, the crew learn to assess the safety of what’s going on outside the plane, and they need to be able to see out — as do you. Passengers are extra eyes for the crew in case something looks amiss, so you shouldn’t ever feel silly about asking questions. Keeping your blind open means that, in the very rare event that emergency services need to attend the aircraft, they can see inside quickly and easily. And, of course, having more light coming into the cabin is a good idea if there’s any kind of smoke. In the event that you need to make a quick emergency exit from the plane, that makes it safer for you and everyone else around you.

There are also a few extra benefits. Once it’s time for the aircraft to get ready for its next flight, having all the windows open means that the checks of the wings can be made more easily — that’s checking for ice in winter, or anything else that might seem amiss. And, completely away from safety, having the blinds open also makes it easier and more obvious to clean the windows if necessary, whether that’s by a dedicated cleaning crew or a flight attendant with a quick wipe-down in case a sticky sproglet has got gooey fingers all over your nice clean window!

Thanks for announcing to us that u are a frequent flyer, it has kept food on our table. Can we move on now. Oshi

Have you boarded a plane in your life? Lie Mohammed son

Lmao. I have boarded local flights within Nigeria, international flights within and outside Africa many times.

Boarding a plane is not a big deal. You sounded like you've never been to an airport.

You also play the part of safety by viewing

kolafolabi:

Now it's been moved to fp. Give credit to the mods

Story... a story of 2019 , made FP in 2020... just like I predicted

I need a Topic comparing "Which is the best among these Two" our tertiary Education of at least 4 years to that of Learning a well paying Trade.
Admin, Treat as Urgent please

I pray I enter and fly in an Aeroplane this year. Not too big a demand for my creator and I will show this comment as testimony. Ameen

You will

And you will have a safe flight too

If you've indeed travelled, you are gonna have more exposure and in one way, it will reflect in your life.

Where are your lack manners?

It also ensure pressure balance between atmosphere and inner cabin

Ameen. Thank you

Airlines do not require you open or close window blinds. Passengers generally do it just watch other planes taxiing in line and for the view in the air.
On longer flights, and if you notice people near you trying to sleep or watch movies, it is deemed good behavior to close the blinds so people can sleep and watch movies. Often cabin crews will shut the blinds after passengers depart because that keeps the hot sun from heating up the inside of the plane.

Cool thread

Wow.. this is really informative
