Let’s face it, window seat beats aisle all the days of the week: first of all you don’t have to deal with annoying passengers or beverage carts bumping your knees, you can lean to the window if you want to rest a bit, and most important you have a very special place to observe all the wonders that our world has to offer.

If you still think that your beloved aisle seat is the best you can have on an airplane, take a look at these  unbelievable pictures taken from the window seat of an airplane.
