Liz, I asked for a window seat on a daytime flight Gatwick to Houston TX, so I could see Greenland/Labrador/Great Lakes etc. No chance - all taken. Bastard! So the young lady in the window-seat next to me closes the blind before take-off, refuses my polite request to swap seats once we were in the air, reads, clicks the buttons on her laptop or sleeps through the whole flight, and opens the blind approximately 10 seconds before touch-down in Houston.

Nearly 700 quid to look at the back of the seat in front for ten hours! If she didn't want to look out of the bloody window, why take a window seat??? Grrrrrrrr!

Nothing to do with this thread really, just having a moan.
