Spectacular views in aeroplane
You are going to face a long flight journey, what would you prefer? The comfort, the possibility to stretch your legs in the passage, the freedom to get up and go to the toilette without asking permission to the person seated next to you or you would like better not to miss the breathtaking view that opens out beyond the window even at the cost of remaining locked in your sit during the whole flight? For the second type of travellers, the New York Times lists the destinations for which we should not renounce to a seat "with view". They have been suggested by an intercontinental pilot, who can boasts a collection of ecstatic landscapes seen during his journeys from his cockpit.
San Francisco is one of the winners, with the vision of its beautiful bridges, the Golden Gate in the lead. Staying in America, New York can definitely not be missing from the ranking, a real dream landing to the La Guardia airport. Coming from the south, on the left side amazing buildings come one after the other: the Statue of Liberty, the skyscrapers of Downtown, the Brooklyn Bridge, the lower town, the Skiline dominated by the Empire State Building and the National Headquarters. A show even more impressive when evening falls and the lights turn on.
Finally, Los Angeles, but only if you land at night. In darkness, in fact, its highway "become hypnotic wakes and its grid of streets is like an advertising of a computer chip, a dynamic vision of light and energy that springs out from the edge of the continent": the first taste of a Hollywood movie experience.
The best show in Europe, according to the pilot, it's offered by London. Landing in the capital are clearly visible the Tower Bridge, the St Paul Cathedral, the Tate Modern Gallery, the London Eye, the Big Ben and just outside the town the Windsor Castle.
Even Lisbon with its April 25 Bridge enters in the ranking, while in Italy, is Milan to be on top. Indeed, fog permitting, the Lombard city is so close to the Alps peaks, glaciers and blue lakes, that offer a breathtaking vision.
You just pick your seat on the right side.
