Ryan Air removes them, which is a spectacular level of cheapness. -- nm - Reagen Jul 31, 20:37 12
- But very practical from an engineering standpoint -- (edited) - JD Jul 31, 20:41 7
  - there are still windows, just not blinds - Reagen Jul 31, 20:48 6
    - Als they are a short haul airline, so the passengers probably don't use the blinds much -- nm - The Roger More Innuendo Jul 31, 21:09 4
      - They also don't seem to think passengers use knees much. -- nm - Reagen Jul 31, 21:13 2
        
        That's becoming a problem on so many airlines, I'm not even sure yow people of your stature manage to fly at all nowadays. -- nm - ty97 Jul 31, 21:16 1
        
        That's why I wanted "standing only" cabins. -- nm - Michael O'Leary Jul 31, 21:26
      - If you are flying near sunrise or sunset time, the sun on the horizon can be blinding without a shade to pull down. -- nm - ty97 Jul 31, 21:12
    - Ahhh...I had the thought: wait removing windows is probably worst than having them. Optimum is no windows from the get go -- nm - JD Jul 31, 20:50
- The Boeing 787 doesn't even come with them. The windows are designed to have a 'darkening' effect you turn on. - ty97 Jul 31, 20:39 2
  - Well sort of. There's still windows just not mechanical shades. Imagine being in a cargo plane -- nm - JD Jul 31, 20:47 1
    - Right, that's what I meant, no shades (very different from what you are referring to) - ty97 Jul 31, 20:53
