I love looking out of the window, you get other planes whizzing past at 
differential speeds of 1200 mph, get to see mountain ranges and anything 
from tiny isolated houses up to huge cities from above, get to watch all 
the control surfaces moving on the wing during the different phases of 
the flight. A fun one to try is to turn on your GPS navigation and watch 
how the software tries to handle a car driving in a straight line at 600 
mph :-)

Saying that though I always take the aisle seat on long haul flights as 
I prefer to be free to walk about whenever I want without disturbing 
others. Up to 2-3 hours I can manage to stay in my seat.

That too, some of the sites are beautiful especially when the sun is 
near the horizon. It's inspired me on several occasions to crack out POV 
and play with media (and usually fail miserably).
