This always baffles me flying out west. I mean Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa - i get it - close those windows we can sleep. But the Rockies, Mt St Helens, Mt Hood, Mt Rainier...and then you hit the mfin GRAND CANYON and you still wont open up your window?!?! people that don't open their window over the grand canyon need to be put on a list for middle seat only.

I am regularly on flights which go over the Grand Canyon. On that flight specifically, I keep my window shade open for the sake of the folks in the middle and aisle seats.

Of course, they are probably thinking "wish that view didn't have that sleeping dude in the foreground".

You're still a hero. Thank you for sleeping so I don't have to feel awkward making you think I am looking at you while looking out the window.
yup it's insanely annoying

i flew business to hong kong a few years ago and i couldn't put the shades up AT ALL because of people sleeping most of the flight, which sucks because from the crack I was able to see through, we passed through some incredible shit
