In Photos: Why I love window seats

September 26, 2014 | by Rebecca Pattee

When it comes to airplane seats, most of us are firmly in the window seat or aisle seat camp. I hate getting stuck in the middle seat or the aisle, unable to stare at the clouds or the passing scenery. After the stress of boarding the plane, the view from 35,000 feet calms my soul.

Here are 13 of my favorite window seat photos:
